Re Coburg City Oval - Last year I recall people complaing that Optus Oval was not central and hard to get to. In reality people will complain regardless of what grounds are used. We can only hope for the best overall fit.

There is no mention of venues with ovals side by side as per last IC, has this been ruled out?

I don't think it's been rules out, more just that the feedback from teams was
that Murphy Reserve wasn't great and no "semi-pro" level suburban grounds
spring to mind with two grounds side-by-side.

Marcellin/Trinity playing field, while being an ok pitch, is a long way from any
kind of public transport and doesn't have the off-field facilities of somewhere
like Coburg City, Frankston, etc.

All due respect to Port Melbourne and Murphy Reserve, and the side-by-side option allowed people to swap back and forth and see 4 teams, 2 games at once. A bit of rain and mud also can't really be helped, it was really just the size - they seemed a bit small and that led to cramped, pressure footy which didn't really showcase the players' talents.
