Shut the bloody roof
Sick of the roof being open and fans having to put up with the glare of the sun.
As paying fans hand over there hard earned they should be able to watch the game in comfort and not have to shield there eyes all day.
U've got a roof bloody shut it

They use heat lamps these days bloke.howlinwolf wrote:I understand where you all are coming from. It was cold. But to be honest if you saw how much sun actually hit a small percentage of the ground today I think they just have to open it to keep the grass alive.
You think after years of dead yellow grass that suddenly it was a miracle that the grass is bright green this year?
Think about it

Oh dear...winter in Melbourne and it was cold today...who would have thought????
Toughen up people lol
Agree on the roof though..but only cos the damn ground is aligned 90deg the wrong way and the sun is seriously in the players eyes if they are facing the Lockett end
Its also damn nearly unwatchable on TV with the ball jumping between sun and shadow 5000 times

My concern is not the cold.
Memories of those cold days in the shade at Moorabbin.
But the contrast between shade and sunlight at Docklands seems really great, and plenty of times players lost sight of the ball.
For that reason the roof should be closed.

The rest of Australia can wander mask-free, socialise, eat out, no curfews, no zoning, no police rings of steel, no illogical inconsistent rules.
They can even WATCH LIVE FOOTY!

It was cold mainly because of two things:
(1) The roof was open, letting the heat generated by 27K people out of the stadium
(2) The crowd was about 10K+ less than what we normally getting, providing less personal heat.
The night games with a big crowd I find sometimes get too warm - they should open the roof up about 10% to let some of the heat out and make it less stuffy.
Day games when it's either sunny or really cold outside the roof should be shut to make it less glary and warmer.
Telstra Dome has made us supporters soft.
Remember, we have 2 night games at the MCG this winter.
Prepare to freeze big time!

No wonder we can't win finals, they are played in the open.
Wouldn't want to be exposed to the elements.
Why don't you follow basketball? Ross likes it. Trained on a basketball court on Wednesday.
If you live in Melbourne, you should know how to dress for Winter.
