Since this the first swans night game at the SCG and concern over the development of the ground and light stands. The AFL was thinking of moving the game to Telstra Stadium. Just wondering if any of you guys have heard any news?

    SCG confirmed.

    good point about the lights though, has anyone heard what they are doing?

    i was told that the paul gardiner graciously offered to host sydney at the mcg if they wanted...

    The SCG Trust didn't think that the removal of two light towers and the installation of temporary lighting would be an issue.

    The two light towers at the Randwick end were to be removed and temporary towers were to be brought in and the broadcasters were to do testing.

    The problem was that the SCG's neighbours, FOX Studios, refused to give permission to erect the temporary lighting fixtures on their grounds until match day.

    Therefore this was becoming an issue and the AFL was investigating.

    However everyone including AFL Ground Operations, the head of Fox Sports and the head of Channel 10 broadcasting inspected the venue with lighting experts last Saturday night, when the ground had the temporary lighting towers brought in and erected.

    It was given the all clear.

    Unlike the MCG, which would have had no problems with redevelopment or lighting simply because they have complete access around the exterior of their venue, while the eastern side and Randwick end of the SCG backs on to the Fox Studios lot.

    Fox owns the land and therefore the SCG Trust does not have access to the exterior of these areas without permission which it has trouble getting.

    So all work has to be done internally, which obviously makes it slower and more complicated.

    But in answer to the original question, as far as I know they tested the lights on the weekend and they got a tick of approval :rolleyes: !!!

    Green light for SCG set-up

    THE AFL and Channel 10 have given the SCG the all-clear for Saturday night's clash between Sydney and Melbourne.

    League and Ten officials did an after-dark inspection of the ground last week and deemed the four lighting towers and

    temporary banks would provide adequate light.

    Two of the stadium's six towers have been removed, along with the Doug Walters Stand, to prepare for a major redevelopment.

    The Swans will train under lights at the SCG tonight, while the Demons will have a short session tomorrow night.

    Channel 10's engineers tested the lightning, along with the AFL, and confirmed the lighting was at its usual reading.

    Extra lighting has been housed on a truck.

    Yes, especially with the transport system in sydney, especially out west, with trains every half hour to hour on weekends :angry:

    I went to Telstra for a cricket match a few years back and trains were bad on weekends, but for me to get back from the SCG it would take me 2 hours :angry:

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
