TOPIC:

Ti Em could be on the money, Subi trained at their spiritual home this week, back at Subi, so maybe the WAFC are behind this trying to get the oval back in shape. A better idea going forward would be to demand WC pay for the reinstatement of the sand base and full re-surfacing. Why should the TOV rate payers, EP or Subi have to pay a cent for that. The WAFC hold the WC licence so should have the balls to make sure this gets done ..... but it wont happen, WC will plead poor and the WAFC will listen.

Watched a bit of the South vs Swans game on the box a couple of weeks back and the surface at Fremantle didn't look all that great either. Nothing like Leederville of course though. Should be no such problem at East Fremantle it has an excellent surface . Maybe the TOEF should put a bid in for the GF.

East Fremanttle has an excellent surface LMAO. Maybe after the make over. 

Fremantle has by far the best surface of all the suburban grounds outside of Lathlain, all laid to AFL standard.

Fremantle looked an absolute billard table GF day 2020.

Does not look good in 2022 though. East Fremantle and Bassendean are both far superior surfaces than the Fremantle quagmire.

Shame the outer over on the eastern side looked like Kyiv on a bad day.

You are being a bit harsh of Kiev there BC.

Seems clear now that the WAFC preferred option is Leederville. A couple of stories in the West online about it, dont expect to see any more games on for Subi or EP and training will be moved as well. Both clubs officials have been lobbying the WAFC and the state government to get a full resurfacing done which runs to about a Mill. Thats chicken feed for the state government thats running a $5+++ bill surplus. No big deal for Subi as we are out of the finals, EP still have a faint chance but would need to beat a fully loaded Peelmantle today. That gives a heap of time to get the surface up to scratch, hopefully we can get a stretch of fine weather to help that along. Only similarity to Optus is that it's a truly neutral venue.

What’s Joondalup looking like? I’m south of river but probably wouldn’t hurt to have it NOR for once.  Lots of local support for WAFL up there.

I think they’d lose at least 5k plus attendance because of the distance.  We humans are a funny race….I used to drive over 600k from Karratha to Exmouth to go fishing for 2 or 3 days, but I wouldn’t drive to Joondalup for a footy match.  Go figure.

Losing attendance is not a problem though because the WAFC has already turned it nose up at a venue that holds more than the WAFL GF will ever get.
