I’ll ask someone who should know and report back.

I suspect it’s because of the very fluid/logistical circumstances with closed borders and games rearranged at short notice.

In any event think there is something like 34 games in 35 days so connoisseurs of Oz fitba are in for a feast!

Right, the reason is....’unclear’

Sydney Morning Herald describing it as such but suggesting it may be on cost grounds.....Aussie fitba is not exactly flushed with funds just now.

Same report says no decision has yet been made as to whether it will be reinstated for the finals.

Cheers Fred I knew I could rely on you

Looking forward to an Aussie feast of soccer

In the UK there are some that would like to pull it because it sucks dodgy decisions that take an eternity to arrive at all spontaneity and natural flow is being sucked from the game

The new hand ball rule needs to be looked at as well and common sense needs to be applied

All of the above is of course imho 😃

Perth 1-0:up against the Mariners at Sauce Bottle Stadium.

Diego Castro, one of Perth’s best players isn’t playing because he didn’t think it was safe to start again and has gone Bush with his family!
