    If they weren’t happy with the pitch then they should of postponed the whole day.
    The correct person to ask would have been the AR in reserves, not the referee, as the AR would have had the centre for first grade.

    After 9.00am it is the referees jurisdiction to call the game off or not, not the clubs.

    Yesterday at the swamp, the AR for reserves who was to be the referee for first grade, approached both clubs indicating he was 70/30 for calling first grade off due to injury concerns. However as the second half of reserves played out, the rain subsided and first grade ended up going ahead.

    Definitely something Kotara would do

    I'd imagine most of Swansea are looking for some favours off the pitch

    Why is everyone on here so assblasted about the games getting called off due to rain? We've had the wettest year in nearly half a decade resulting in green but consistently wet grounds, additionally a non-existent pre-season meaning injuries galore in most clubs. Stop crying and look forward to the catch up games you sooks

    I think that's just the thing, we haven't had that much rain. Yeah it rained heaps in March, but there was no competition games in March???

    Sure it rained Saturday, but we didn't get the predicted totals. Saturday was crap mainly due to the windy conditions. If those were not present, then nobody would be complaining about the weather.

    There has been 2 washouts and we are past the half way mark of the comp. Pretty impressive if you ask me

    I agree it’s not ideal to cancel games just prior to kick off but ultimately the officials have the final say no matter how much protesting made by either side.

    Pretty confident that if the game went ahead the comments on here would be flipped to shouldn’t of played, ball didn’t roll, heavy under foot, players siding in with dangerous tackles.

    Wasn’t Chapman Oval for games/training over the last two days? Probably not.

    there were some photos posted of the reserve grade game on Facebook, yesterday and it showed definite puddles etc. So looking at that casual water on the pitch it could be deemed dangerous and should have been called off.
    Maybe the way it was done is the issue, but as hacker says "two washouts in the 1st round" pretty lucky so far.

    There was a pic on Facebook of some bloke getting tackled and it looks like he just belly flopped into a kiddy pool - water everywhere!
