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.
