HAVING taken the scalp of AFL's premier midfielder Gary Ablett, Sam Kerridge has put the blanket over grumpy Gold Coast coach Guy McKenna.
McKenna pointed to an unruly Adelaide Oval surface in the aftermath of a 32-point defeat against Adelaide on Sunday.
"It's probably the longest I've seen grass in the AFL. I don't know whether that was by design or not or was there a public holiday on Friday?" said McKenna.
However, gun tagger Kerridge dismissed the need for a close shave at a venue that has already been bagged for a siren no one could hear during Adelaide's triumph over Collingwood last month.

"I didn't really take much notice to be honest. I was just focused on one job," said Kerridge, 21, of the grass.
"I heard a few of the guys mention it but if the boys are worried about how long the grass is they are in the wrong head space."
Kerridge — with 22 appearances since 2012 — was "excited to the get job" on Ablett and restrict the dual Brownlow Medallist to 25 touches.
"It was really good. I enjoyed the challenge," said Kerridge, now focusing on Adelaide's trip to confront Fremantle on Sunday.
Ruckman Sam Jacobs must pass a test on the troublesome hip flexor he carried into battle against the Suns in order to face Fremantle giant Aaron Sandilands. The seventh-placed Dockers are just a win ahead of Adelaide in ninth spot.
Brad Crouch is a chance to make his much-anticipated return from a leg injury, while Tom Lynch and Ricky Henderson are a fortnight from resuming.
