Lions take aim over lights

BRISBANE Lions AFL Women’s coach Craig Starcevich has slammed the quality of the lighting at Princes Park in Melbourne, suggesting it could be a safety hazard for players.

The Lions returned to the winners’ circle on Saturday night after their impressive 22point win over Carlton but Starcevich admitted he had a hard time seeing how well his team was performing in patches throughout the evening.

“Nup. Nowhere near it,” Starcevich said when asked if he thought the lights were strong enough.

“Terrible really at ground level. We’re up in the box looking across the ground and we’re all a bit old so we’re trying to see what we’re looking for but not good enough, I don’t think.

“It was just very dark. I’m just thinking, ‘God, is this OK safety-wise for the players?’

“But, anyway, we played and we got through.”
