He is also with Turf Master who look after the Medibank surface. He didnt make the call it was Peel telling the WAFC that they weren't going to play so they had no choice but to cancel the game.

So if Peel said they wouldn't play then why was it not deemed a forfeit?

Jumping to conclusions without knowing the facts and no I am not Cam

I was there and telling you what happened - always two sides to every argument. But I suggest you do a bit of research before you comment.

Whether the surface was unsafe or not is irrelevant as far as I'm concerned. My main complaint is that peel gained a significant unfair advantage by deliberately delaying the game in order to play 3 AFL listed full time pro's.

Outer you are not going to win this arguament.If the game had been played on Saturday at least two of freo's players would've dropped back to peel unless there was a player under a fitness cloud. Every week end when either afl side plays in perth they release players back to the wafl.The aligned sides named in the newspapers are only a guide and not in stone. Is it another conspiracy.i doubt it.

must admit...I did see De Boer and Morabito in playing gear on Saturday so it probably meant Mzungu was the only addition on Sunday.

So how was he allowed to play Sunday when he wasn't going to play Saturday.

yep...i agree he shouldn't have been allowed... although if a player is the travelling emergency for say a friday night game in melbourne, they're generally allowed to play WAFL if their team is playing on a sunday for instance...so not sure what the go is on this occasion. the other big loss in my mind was our home ground advantage...that should also be factored into this fiasco.

You will have to ask the WAFC that one outer.

Yeah that would be interesting as I expect they wouldn't know if their collective arses were on fire
