   Pass/Fail:

I'm failing this article, I'm afraid. There's a lot of work to do as far as I can see, mainly on the prose and a few gritty MOS issues.

• Months and years don't need wikilinking unless they are in full dates, i.e. remove the wikilinks from September 2004, 2001 in infobox, 2010 in lead, 1998 in history, etc, etc. See WP:DATE for more info.
• The date formats are mixed, e.g. January 1, 1921 in history, and 8 December 2007 in the other events. But they are correctly wikilinked. See WP:DATE again.
• The history section has too many paragraphs with just one sentence.
• There seems to be a mix of currencies. Is dollars correct, or should it be Australian dollars. Also perhaps wikilink the first use.
• Stadium facilities, other events and record crowds should be prose rather than in list format.
• References should be placed immediately after the punctuation without any space.
• Many of the hyphens need to be changed to endashes, per WP:DASH, though those in the lists will vanish anyway once it's put into prose.
• What does the table mean in the Australian rules football section?
• Sentences shouldn't start with figures.

There are a number of other minor things that need to be improved. If you want any more advice, just send me a message. Most of the work will need to be done improving the history section, and re-writing the lists as prose. It's too much work to put the article on hold. Peanut4 (talk) 23:15, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

Is the article worth B-Grade listing? Aaroncrick (talk) 07:22, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
