Would be fair ro assume there are culture issues at both clubs and with 6 players from Playford suspended they won't fill one team let alone two. E P have had umpires every week for a reason and it's pretty poor that the association allocate a SACA ump that knows noone to umpire probably the most volatile game of the year.
Was bound to happen IMO
Sorry mate can you name these fair share of issues EPFC A GRADE has had this year!
Volatile game of the Year

both sides played each other in round 1 without ANY incident and one bloke from each side are best mates.
Umpires every week ummmmmmmm, we went 3 weeks in a row without having an official. Add to the fact our A Grade at times has had 2-3 16 year olds and 4-5 17 year olds in it at one time we dont exactly have a massive group of blokes who can umpire with enough confidence, experience and courage to do so.
I think you need to speak to your B Grade who played against us the week before xmas. We are probably the easiest going, quietest, friendliest side they have played all year.
If you want to add facts to your assumptions feel free.
