    Ciao Putas

    Hi all,

    It is with regret that we inform that RAAF Williamtown have had to pull out of the ZFL3 competition for this upcoming season.
    This has been due to movements of players onto other ventures, or postings to other locations.
    The boys will still be putting in an All Age team though, and we wish them the very best while they rebuild their team and hopefully enter the competition again in future years.

    As it stands, the ZFL3 competition will drop back to a 12 Team Competition with a BYE.
    They have important things to focus on like keeping our country safe from Trump.

    A shame about raaf, 2nd year in a row that teams have fallen late. After their player number problems last year it probably the best call considering 22 rounds.
    If raaf play zone leagues in the future they may need to sign around 10 non raaf player's to keep team going. Was this looked at this year??

    Its a shame that a few clubs have fallen over plus a few have or are in trouble. Dudley were in a dangerous position about 3 weeks ago, but with a fair bit of effort have managed to stay reasonably solid.
    The association may need to look at doing all it can to keep players in the sport and in zone leagues and clubs in the competition.

    Interested to see how fellow ZL3 teams are shaping up so far. Even with the withdrawal of Lake Mac x 2, Raaf and possibly Abermain I still see a tough comp ahead in 2017. Without knowing too much about both Maitland teams I anticipate at least one, if not both to be strong. After the way Argie burst on the scene last year we need to be ready for the newcomers to come out firing. I think pre-season favourites would be Azzuri based on the info shared and expect Bolwarra to be right in the mix. Medowie could be anything after dropping down a grade.
    I am curious what they will do with the draw if only 8 teams? 14 games is too few IMO.
    My top 4 prediction in no particular order. Dudley (big surprise) Azzuri, Maitland Snr, Bolwarra.

    Did see a post from the new medowie coach on face book chasing players. I know some of there players from last year and juniors coming through have left for newer pasture's.

    When I played ZL3 a few years ago it was an 8 team, 18 game comp.

    Have some friends at Lakes... unfortunately they had 10-15 players pull out on them so the ZP3 plans fell apart. Will be back in All Age this year.

    Not sure what happened to the team City were planning to put in however.
