It comes amid news that the AFL is fighting to get the MCG ready after Ed Sheeran’s concerts in the city.
The famous venue recently hosted two Ed Sheeran concerts, which set concert audience records, and as a result, the turf has been badly damaged and is in need of $1 million worth of salvage work.
Heavy rain in the city has also contributed to the problem, with the season opener scheduled for next Thursday night between Richmond and Carlton.
The MCG is also set to host Geelong vs Collingwood the following day.
That has given turf curators a serious headache, as the arena currently looks like a sandbox rather than a world-class ball field.
It’s common for grass to be replaced at this time of year, with the transition from cricket season to AFL season, but at 10,000 square metres, it will be quite a challenge to get the area back into shape.
On a positive note, little rain is forecast and warm weather is just around the corner, with the Richmond vs Carlton game scheduled to be played in 29C conditions, while Friday night’s game will be played in mid- of the 20.
Kylie Rogers opted for a sparkly dress that she paired with a Gucci bag.
