I was told that last weeks game a Blacktown the centre bounce was out on the wing. Had to stay off cricket pitch.
Do we know this is the same for this weeks game.

[5yearplan]

No news yet but a rumour is if ground isn’t up to scratch they will be asked to move the game to the car park.

They need to treat the game with more respect, games times to umpiring and playing the game on a afl field which is legit for everyone. If you can’t play on a ground which is up to scratch move it and showcase your finals properly I say

[Pekay]

Once again our game is treated like a second class citizen, and in finals no less....

Remove all funding from BISP and steer away from 1st class cricket venues in future - see how they operate then with only cricket cash. Don't know why the Giants ground can't be utilised for finals, or at least the GF, on a neutral deck so no team gets the home ground advantage.

A lot angst caused by Sydney AFL clearing Xavier Richards to play prems for Syd Uni this weekend.

Whats the ruling? its ironic he comes back against manly the team he slotted 13 against just over a year ago....

[5yearplan]

Absolute garbage he is playing prems. Wrong ... poor... lack of leadership and shows the comp is tacking this pi&* out of every club who played heart and soul for the year and paid there funds too. It also shows the uni club which states they are supporting the local comp.... garbage it is wrong and making a mockery of the comp and sydneyafl needs to have a good hard look at itself

Im pretty sure neafl games count as prems games for qualification. They changed the rule this year so it only counts as prems and 19s, not div 1 any more.

There is a reason people call the uni prem side neafl.

Centre bounce again out on the far wing.

[Norris Lurker]

Thriller out at Blacktown today, but in the end UNSW-ES are through to the Grand Final. North Shore had trailed all day but hit the front midway through the last quarter and looked to have all the momentum; but the Bulldogs hit back with the last three goals. Wasn't a bad contest.

[Norris Lurker]

Extraordinary scenes in the Womens Premier Division today.
Southern Power were late coming out after half time. The umpire was sick of waiting for them and bounced the ball; and Auburn-Penrith kicked an uncontested goal as the Power were finally running back on.
And that turned out to be the difference as Auburn-Penrith won by a kick.

[saviour01]

That is great. Though they were up 37 to 26 at 3/4 time so had every chance to win it.

How late were they coming out?

- - - Updated - - -

Camden out in straight sets in div 2. Surely they realise they don't have their club umpire come finals and might be worth getting some experience playing games without cheating?

[Blinkers28]

Where was the ground manager to inform them that the game was about to restart? Isn’t that their job?

[saviour01]

Manly lose at the end. How'd Richards play?
