Clearly either stirring the pot or just have completely wrong info.
Preston reserves had left the ground prior to 11:30

Use your brain champ. You reckon the top side doesn’t want to play against a side sitting fourth that they beat by 10 goals five weeks ago?
Alright champ, Preston on a roll, Kew don’t like it in a scrap. Can see why they didn’t want to play
If they were actually keen they would have played in my opinion

Can’t believe that a club sitting in a double chance position wouldn’t want to play against a possible ‘contender’ due to ground conditions! Work with the council for God’s sake! Two grounds available so train on the ‘non-preferred’ ground and force your juniors to use the same ground I order for your senior team to show their worth ondays that it counts! Not rocket science!
Or do we look forward two rounds at note the sides Kew is up against?
Joke, but the Ammo’s will give them 2 points each rather than make a statement, which is a shame. Would be interesting to know what the umpires thought or part they had to say play!

Hahaha mate you’ve got no idea what the club has done. Have you ever tried to “work” with boroondara council?? Or any council for that matter. No one touched the middle of the ground all week at training, it was roped off. Club asked the council to help get it right and they didn’t. End of. Unfortunately the club has no control over the surface and what can be done apart from avoid the worst spots during the week, which the club did. Blokes are taking the p1 if they reckon any of this has to do with not wanting to play. It’s BigFooty I know, but come on
FFSNo club is any Position to jeopardise 2 or even 4 points.

My point exactly! Why not play?? F@&k the council! You pay ground fees for a reason!Hahaha mate you’ve got no idea what the club has done. Have you ever tried to “work” with boroondara council??

Surprised I played any footy in the 80’s, 90’s & 00’s considering the condition of the grounds!
Precious somewhat!
Who made the call?? Both clubs? Umpires? Uninformed committees? Wouldn’t be the VAFA!
Imagine Preston miss finals by 2 points.. I would be filthy

4 pts may get them in. 2 may not! It’s a big IF, and in this day and age, not good enough. Kew not solely at fault as the council have a big say in who can and can’t use the ground but FFS, clubs only want use of the ground for 9 home games a year which should be easy enough to manage.....even if it means training on sub-standard grounds or doing indoor training!
Both Kew and Preston to now go 3 weeks without a game!!

Possibility! Doubt any players would be on the rep teams!
I played games at Victoria Park (Kew) back in the late 90s. A large part of the ground would be a massive mud pit in the winter and not only did games go ahead, but no one batted an eyelid.
I’m interested to know exactly what “ duty of care” issue caused a game to be cancelled. Surely can’t have been a just a slippery or muddy part of the ground.

Clearly I’m a bit long in the tooth and nostalgic these days. Those conditions look pretty ordinary, but not sure why it stops a game of footy. Sure the score might be very low, and the skill level horrible but it’s a winter sport played in winter weather.
Do you have a photo of the whole ground ?
FWIW is it because they don't make long stops anymore???
There would have been grounds all over Melbourne like that. Piss weak decision.
