Strathy by 10 goals
What a $20k burden on the league meaning all 17 clubs , because the only real benefit the club got from what has been settled , was previously offered, yea something to be proud of !
The league don't sign off during the home and away season unless clubs refuse to sign off . Whilst the league places a high safety expectation on its clubs , that stance has been vindicated .
The league runs finals and for good reason , which will become apparent at years end . Also it is called insurer requirements that require the league to sign off during finals.

We will play whoever wins Gman. I'm sure everyone would think we would rather berrigan but a team with momentum is very dangerous and if berrigan get over strathy tomorrow they will be full of belief and momentum. I still think strathy will win tomorrow but it will be close. 13 points. I think berrigan will come out very physical, and need to if they are a chance. The picola ground will suit a more contested type of game.
Maybe there should be a specific standard for all grounds/courts that all venues should adhere to for all games not just the big one (a league standard) then no one would have to go through this shit fight again. Don't think players safety is anymore important on gradfinal day than any home and away game.
That's why the league does a audit of grounds at the start of the year.

Strathy easy tomoz. And if they can find someone to stop the big boy on gf day from kicking a bag they could win it but its a big task..
So why are games allowed to be played at venues during the home and away but not a grand final?
Issues raised within the audit are meant to be addressed well before finals .
Don't think that answers the question I asked

If a player was to have a freakish accident and the poles caused a serious injury. Is it possible the lawyers for the player could argue that the league was responsible for the selection of the ground for the grand final (also they receive the money from the gate) and should have ensured the safest venue. By adding that vNA guidelines recommend the 3.05 clearance that Player could say the league was negligent in not choosing a venue which met that guideline.
For home and away it's different in that it's your ground (you collect entry fee) you have no other venue so as long as vNA sign insurance it's not so much of a risk litigation wise?
But if the league appoints audits every year wouldn't they be just as liable for any game?

That's not the point with my argument really. It seems there is a sliding scale in terms of safety standards with our netball courts. Some are new and fully compliant with 3.05 runoff all around. But I think being fair to clubs there is a allowance for issues like yours where the poles are deemed safe. Which is great not all clubs can afford to go out and fully upgrade.
What I'm saying is on a day when the league is selecting the venues and all courts are available it's a very big risk to choose yours over courts with less risk issues?
I'm talking litigation wise it could make the leagues case very weak.

Well I hope Yarroweyah's runoffs have been audited and fixed for the grand final - what is good for one is good for all I say.
Strathy by 8 goals,,,,,, there is just this sort of gap . Strathy vs Jerildrie GF will be a good one,

Fair enough, in fact I will agree with you. But I don't have details of their court.
The league would have to be mad to let that happen now.
That said, I'm not sure what all the other issues were. Even Weyrich is quoted as saying were things in the league affidavit he didn't know?

There courts are also non compliant as they run the wrong way, which I don't believe is safety issue, but the fence is too close and it should moved and the centre run between the courts is to close as well, these are safety issues that should be addressed for as you keep pointing out they are hosting a Grandfinal.
