WRFL div 2: Crofts Reserve ‘hard, windy, unsafe’ for finals

Parkside player-coach Nathan Juegan has called on the Western
Region Football League to re-think its scheduling of division 2 finals
at Crofts Reserve.

Juegan has branded the playing surface unsafe and spectator facilities inadequate.

“I think they can come up with a better solution than playing
finals at Crofts Reserve,” he said. “The ground was rock-hard – it’s
open to the wind and I don’t think it’s a spectators ground.

“If I had a choice, we wouldn’t play finals footy there.”

Juegan and his players were “looking forward” to getting on to the
plush surface at Chirnside Park in Werribee for the grand final against
Glenorden.

“It’s a terrific ground and it’s in good order,” he said.
