West Coast Eagles' AFLW season opener moved to new venue due to muddy ground
West Coast's AFLW season opener against Gold Coast on Thursday has been shifted due to safety concerns at their muddied home ground. The opening-day clash at the recently upgraded Leederville Oval has been moved to the Eagles' other home venue at Lathlain Park. The season kicks off earlier on Thursday at Princes Park when Carlton meet Collingwood. Work to repair the centre square at Leederville began on Monday after it had been badly damaged by a combination of high traffic and persistent rainfall. Saturday's WAFL game between East Perth and South Fremantle was played at the ground and left both teams caked in mud after splashing their way across the park. The call was made on Tuesday to move the game after tests determined the turf was unsafe for play. "The health and safety of our players is absolutely paramount and so we made the call to move the game," AFL operations boss Laura Kane said. "Even though works were undertaken to fix the turf around the centre square, we wanted to make the decision as early as possible to give fans, our clubs and our broadcasters time to adapt their plans accordingly." Lathlain Park has about 6,500 people, compared to the 10,000 capable of attending Leederville. The Eagles' next match at Leederville Oval falls in round 10 against Geelong followed by Carlton in Round 12, with home games at Lathlain — where the team is based — in rounds four, seven and eight. Much was made of the $5.2 million upgrades to Leederville, completed in April, including a new playing surface, irrigation and broadcast standard lighting. The upgrade allowed more games to be played at the ground in the WAFL and WAFLW seasons. It is not the first time safety concerns have prevented a match being played at the ground, with a 2016 WAFL match between Subiaco and Peel called off at the last minute because of the playing surface.

Lindsay Park runner Evaporate firms for stable's fourth straight PB Lawrence Stakes win
Fast punters have backed Lindsay Park-trained runner to give the stable a fourth straight win in the Group 2 PB Lawrence Stakes at Saturday's Caulfield meeting. Trainers Ben, JD and Will Hayes have won the last three editions of the weight-for-age feature, twice with stable star Mr Brightside before Gentleman Roy completed a hat trick of wins for the team last year. Group 2 winner and Caulfield Guineas placegetter Evaporate opened as the $4 favourite in 'all-in' betting on the Lawrence Stakes after winning two recent Flemington jumpouts. However, speedy punters pounced on that quote, backing him into $3.50 before the four-year-old firmed into $3 soon after markets opened on the $300,000 contest. Evaporate tops Lawrence Stakes betting ahead of the Joe Pride -trained Group 1 winner Private Eye ($4), who finished third in the Group 1 Stradbroke Handicap over 1400m at his most recent run in June. Evaporate extinguishes his rivals in the G3 HKJC @WorldPool Carbine Club Stakes! 🙌 @lindsayparkrace | @blake_shinn | @aus_turf_club — SKY Racing (@SkyRacingAU) April 5, 2025 The Hayes brothers also have the $6 third pick Here To Shock, who became a Group 1 winner in a successful trip to New Zealand in February before going down narrowly before a spell in the Canterbury Stakes in March. Last year's Memsie Stakes winner Pinstriped firmed from $11 to $8 in the early stages of betting to join Group 3 CS Hayes Stakes winner Sepals on the fourth line of the market. Champion Sydney trainer Chris Waller has five of the 21 PB Lawrence Stakes entries. Yulong-owned imports comprise four of Waller's entries. Canadian-bred mare Moira, the winner of last year's Breeders' Cup Fillies and Mares in the US, is the highest-rated of Waller's Lawrence Stakes quintet.
