What's everyone's favourite player of the year this season (not your own club) and also your favourite team to beat and why
Favorite player was probably Lez before he left the Terrace. His speed and power are phenomenal in this division, and he's also a funny prick.
Not my fav team to beat but my fav win this year was vs Terrace at The Nest. It was our first night game on our ground ever, and we had a pretty good turnout. Cars flashing lights and beeping and cheering at the end made it feel like a GF. Was a tough game, and our clubs best looking bloke scored the winner too, an ex-Ranger no less. The Terrace boys couldn't stop him that night!!!
We were pretty quite after that header dreaded keeper haha
Has anyone heard the rumour of an ID4 next year? From what I hear it is to be 1 grade only and is to act as a third grade for ID2 / ID3 teams only as a "combined comp" So if for eg if Merewether in ID2 had a third team and Mayfield in ID3 had a third team they would both be in ID4.
Obviously there would be some logistical issues it seems but scheduling would, where ever possible, mean all 3 grades played at home on the same day. Better chance of refs!
I like it, some wrinkles to iron out but I reckon that we could fill a genuine third grade.
FFA & Northern get the same be it playing Zone or All Age , the Associations run Zone Leagues so unless they make a difference in the amounts they charge an adult between Zone and ALL Age it won't change anyones finances just be a help to clubs that have enough extra players to make up a third team and don't want to send them away or be forced to lose them because they can't offer them enough game time.
It sounds like a good idea for the clubs that can, and for even smaller clubs say a South Wallsend Juniors for example to take that first step up from ALL Age to Zone in a manageable step with one grade.
Any one have any idea where the gf is going to be and if it will be on the saturday or sunday?
Beating Olympic at Olympic with only 5 first graders to do the warm up the other 6 players backed up from regies.a good win for a depleted side players stood up and showed heart.classiest player Olympics striker was quality however I haven't played all sides this year due to injury.
Charley not a great year but due to key season ending injuries very depleted and first grade being filled with reserve players that were missing out on a run all together when the squad was full strength.
Rd 18
Medowie v Terrace
Hamilton v Muswellbrook
Beresfield v Stockton
Charlestown v University
Merewether v Plattsburg
Stockton to beat beresfield at home? Is that a serious prediction or just a hope?
Big weekend ahead lads , good luck to all. The spotlight this weekend has to be on Stockton. With our lads resting a few players with injuries , work , holidays etc. It will almost gift Hamilton an easy home game. So I guess we'll all have to wait and see the outcome of the Stockton V Beresfield game to see who makes the 4. Once again good luck to all and bring on the semis!
Bero will fold under pressure
Members of our club (dudley id3) have sparked the talk of combined id2/id3 third grade or simply id4 single grade.
I put in a post on id3 page with what I know if anyones
Interested have a look and add any thoughts.
