Adelaide journo defends article slamming the MCG

Adelaide journalist David Penberthy has come out swinging at the MCG.

Penberthy wrote in the Adelaide Advertiser that the MCG is a “sham marvel“.

He told 3AW Football the MCG is “dated” and “devoid of atmosphere”.

“It had much more appeal 20 years ago,” he said.
