MX reported their football manager saying they won't play unless they decide the surface is safe. Which is sort of like saying they won't play if Etihad Stadium is on fire.
It's probably Kennett's way of trying to get the AFL to actually do something about it.
Has Steven Baker been named grounds Keeper? After all there is a spot just over the centre at the Coventry end that he is very fond of. Rumour has it that grass never grows there. The old rule is "thou shall not spill a farmer's blood ye no harvest shall ye yield"!
Would that give Collo the right to charge extra for heating?

Lyon expects Nick Dal Santo, who was a late withdrawal last week with lower back tightness, to return to the senior line-up and he said he has no concerns about the surface at Etihad Stadium which has come under fire from the likes of Hawthorn president Jeff Kennett.
"It's a battle no-one's going to win," he said.
"I can guarantee there's life, death, taxes, and we'll be playing at Etihad and the game will go on."
"We love Etihad Stadium, we love playing there, it's our home game, it's going to be a cracker, it's Friday night footy, so let's get on with it."
"The inches we need are everywhere around us. They're in every break in the game. Every minute, every second. On this team we fight for that inch. On this team we tear ourselves and everyone around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch. Because we know when we add up all those inches that's gonna make the f***in' difference between winning and losing! Between living and dying!'
Their footy manager was on SEN saying that they inspect with the AFL but have no way of stopping the game going ahead. They are just setting up the situation for suing the AFL if a star goes down on the surface.
