The City of Melbourne have shut the Western oval due to the forecast rain and the currently poor surface condition. So the six games fixtured for that ground have been postponed. Note this is a council decision, not ours, we never postpone.
A normal organisation would cancel the whole round. We are NOT a normal organisation, as such the three games on the field marked on the Ransford oval will go ahead. We expect teams to ensure they put team on the field, whether its convenient or not, so we do the same.
Two other very important points:
- This is a postponement, we have a spare week which we’ll now utilise so as long we can get back on the Western oval next week every team will get the expected number of games and a few will get extra games (as those team currently scheduled with a bye this week will be playing next week)
- We are a social organisation so we encourage everyone who has locked in dinner at the GNH to still attend. If so let us know as we’ll ensure we give your team a voucher when we get to the pub.
