Blackwood had been scheduled to host the event all year. Not a level playing field for the other participants given their power, but we were ready for it and accepted it. Needless to say, we had a lot of support from everywhere to overturn a BW home final but hadn't planned on playing anywhere else.
Then Saturday we were notified that the venue had changed and that we (Milang) would be hosting. We were obviously thrilled and began to gather the necessary support personnel. 24 hours later we are told that Blackwood want the GF back and are fighting to the finish to get it.
Cracka, you seem in the know. Wondering if you can enlighten as to why the venue changed to Pantherland in the first place, and then changed again?
What a load of shyte for us to deal with in GF week. Might be a bit a fun for Blackwood but it's a big few days for our Club and we'd like a fair go. And HFL politics aside, any reasonable person would have to wonder why a Grand Final is scheduled at a competing club's home ground, when that ground is already under water and steady rain is predicted for Thursday and Friday?

Any reason it can't be played at a neutral venue eg Ironbank or Mt Lofty? Neither being used this weekend? Are they in better condition?

No ability to make smart decisions whatsoever - AGAIN!!!
A vote of no confidence should have been taken the minute that it was found they were liable for all court costs regarding the relegation saga and the misinformation delivered to the clubs regarding the likely outcome.
It really is deplorable to put the 2 clubs playing in the revamped Div 3 comp GF in this situation leading up to the main match of the year for them.
Surely a neutral ground can be found geographically suitable to both clubs with revenue split back to these clubs and a greater chance of larger numbers attending.
This is a competition that should be supported as much as possible - not torn apart!
Remember how they handled the Div 1 finals series last season re ground allocation and performed some major back-flips to accommodate Mt Barker - history repeats - and the clubs have allowed this by keeping the HFL in tact without the retribution they should have endured.
Go the Panthers - maker this a situation to empower your players as Echunga did last year.
