wrt the afternoon sun, the ground used to run the other way, but then you'd have the players running into the sun.
Every suburban ground has an issue with the setting sun at some stage - their grandstands aren't tall or enveloping enough.
I've been to every one of the smaller home grounds in Sydney and they all have glaring weaknesses for GA patrons - you have to stand at Shark Park, viewing angles at Brookvale are terrible and getting there is painful, Penrith's ground not so bad but it's generally freezing cold and obviously miles away from all the other population centres, etc.
