WORST

GRANT'S KRYPTONITE

Probably the worst Rhyan Grant performance this season. Who knew the mullet's one weakness was returning to its birthplace, the Sydney Cricket Ground. 

Poor Grant was just all over the place, hitting dismally tepid crosses one moment and then blasting passes out for throw-ins the next. Still gets a shout-out for his quip about bowling wrong-uns before the match though...

$730 MILLION WELL SPENT

​

Good to know we can spend $730 million on knocking down and re-building a perfectly good stadium but can't pay a groundsman $30 an hour to maintain a pitch. 

Obviously it's not that simplistic and I (along with a few with key tv broadcasters) am just a sucker for packed stadiums, but remember the Big Blue at Kogorah? Tifos, chants, packed to the rafters. Seagulls and chip packets blowing across the pitch. 

Sydney's fans always manage to generate a lot of noise anyway, so no criticisms there. It's just already a little tiring watching football in the wrong stadiums, and now we've got two years of the SCG and Kardinia Park to look forward to.

Just once I'd like to see the Aussies have to play a test match against Pakistan at AAMI Park...
