Let me know if I'm wrong wilso....... But I'm pretty sure mo town have only won 2 in their last 4-5 games and they were against the bottom 2 teams. He might just be right. If cookers keeper could catch a free kick straight down the middle the mo town wheels may well have fallen off completely with a little bit of pressure and have to meet them in the next couple of week. I think they will be greatful it was a dour draw today

More so saying I believe they will beat Nbay. That would have left them 8 clear (if cookers had won) that would mean cookers would had to have won all 3 games including one against Motown. They may have stalled in some results but playing them again yesterday just reinforced the quality that they have. Enough quality that I think would have seen them get at least one point in the final 3 rounds

[007]

Yea true. Owell, At least it's good to see their form bringing them back to the pack to hopefully see semis as close as this Comp is. They're definitely beatable

Geez a turn around from 5-0 Cooks hill in the last match to 3-0 on sunday would shock.a few

[NewyTy]

Haven't done top four predictions yet. Feel like ZL1 is the most open top four race of them all. And yes Kotara 3-0 would be a big turn around but Cookers aren't in the best of form and Kotara need a win. I could be wrong though.

[Beppe]

pretty sure kotara had a player sent of early in the game when the score was 0-0. so wouldnt put much into that first result.

[AVB]

Has anyone run the numbers on club championships yet? Morri or kotara must be in front?

[Beppe]

Morri miles in front after they smash nelson bay tonight

[NewyTy]

You are correct. I was there for first half and think it was only 1-0 at half-time. Kotara's got some form going into this and need to win or face falling out of the top four. Goal difference is not their friend.

[C'mon man]

Club championship.... Not sure how it's scored but goin off the points on the ladders kotara would be in front surely...

Final game could go either way but I think Kotara are a better team than some of the results they have been getting from what we've seen of them anyway, not sure if they have had some players out or consistency problems.

Congrats also to Morisset on the Minor.. I think the field is a lot closer now than it was at the start of the season when you guys looked a cut above. Will definitely make for an interesting finals series.

Haha..must be true if its on the forum !
Putting things in perspective, Mowtown won minor premiership two weeks ago now. There are a lot of injured players who will be back for the semis. Cooks Hill played well against Mowtown side which had 5 ressies playing one of them backing up after his reserve grade game. (Ressies also had half of 3rd grade playing). 1st grade with 5 ressies dominated the game for long periods and were unlucky to come away with nothing... You could hear the sigh of relief at final whistle from Cooks Hill. The wheels are still firmly fixed in place !

Hmmmm.... Football. A game of opions...innit!
Granted I didn't see first 1/3 of of the 1st half, I wouldn't say 'long periods'. Certainly from the frequency of banter from the sideline peanut gallery (all good fun) with all the Cookers misses,
you know you were lucky it wasn't more. e.g great double save by MoTown keeper midway 2nd, header by our little midfielder at the death that hit the LH upright + other numerous chances
that looked more like back passes than shots...:blush:

MoTown have some good quick players with good feet. They can expect battles like that just about every week in ZPL next year.

[Wilso8948]

Looks like top 4 is now sorted. Just the order can change now. Still not sorted in reserves however

[007]

Well the top four is sorted. Got to 2 games this wknd. Cookers v Morry. I shoulda stayed at home on the football front. Cookers deserved the win as they out battled Morry at their own game. If Morry get back to playing football rather than the concentrating on the off field debacle of some of their coaching staff and fans they might just put their wheels back on the axle and get to the gf. Not so sure tho. It was a bit embarrassing.

Kotara v warners bay. Not sure if the pitch played its part but kotara are to 1 dimensional. Long balls and little dinks over the top. Ok if the defence ur up against cant read a game but I'm afraid that wasn't the case today. Like reading a book. On the other side warners bay were gifted two goals buy a goal keeping error and pedestrian defending. Lucky to get a score line like that in my opinion.

Now who will win the big gf. Count out stocko and warners bay. Just not good enough over 2 legs. Unless stocko get a few goals on their own patch which is rubbish. Sorry boys. Morry and cooks hill I reckon. Depends on Morry. I reckon their gone and calling injuries as an excuse early. But if they get on with football and stop carrying on like 4 yr old. Players and some staff they will win the double at ease.
Any other opinions.

[C'mon man]

For me it's goin to be Morisset v Stockton

[windy2203]

Not sure how you say stockos ground is rubbish.. yes it gets windy but the ground was good except the line markings when i played there.

Cookers ground would have to be the worst in the comp with how unlevel it is.

Speaking of cookers they played a very poor motown yesterday.. also cookers were/are playing to make the finals that makes a big difference

It wasn't to long ago, maybe 5-6 years that the Warners Bay lads chanted Cookers are Chokers. How times have changed dramatically.

[The Spy]

Are u referring to Morriset choking or is it a dig at Warners Bay?

[Chef]

It was about 5 or 6 years ago when morriset won the minor/major and went up.
The next season all there players left and they came last.
I can't see them doing well next year either.
I think Cooks Hill or Warners Bay are much stronger clubs
And would be better suited going up.

Does anyone know the dates for the semis yet? Are they going to be saturday/sunday like in past seasons?

I'm lead to believe Cooks Hill are in the highest division they can be in unless Cooks Hill NewFM are promoted to NPL.

[beaten favourite]

We were told at CHUFC that we could be promoted to ZPL if minor premiers. However it's a moot point this season as Morisset worthy premiers. I think they'll be very competitive in ZPL but the big test for any promoted club as evidenced by our NEWFM side is squad depth. Need a lot more than a quality starting side over the course of a season!!!! As for the finals we can't wait it's why we all go through preseason..... I'm not going to lie a harbour-side derby in the GF is a NNSWFF marketers wet dream.... I can already hear the turnstiles singing 😂😂😂😂

[WWMTD?]

It wasn't to long ago, maybe 5-6 years that the Warners Bay lads chanted Cookers are Chokers. How times have changed dramatically.

Never heard that one..I don't think you can call a team that was in 5 ZPL GF's in a row and won 4 of those GFs chokers! Cooks Hill typically come on strong at the end of the season, no the other way round. If my memory serves me correctly, Warners Bay won a minor premiership, were heavy favorites for the double but lost the GF to cookers in one of those years..so maybe the chant should be reversed!

Well done to Mori for wining 1st grade minor, best team over the course of the year, same for Kotara in 3rds. 2nds still up for grabs and will go down to the wire with kotara facing mori and cookers vs charlie, it could be cookers or kotaras in the end, both would be deserving.

Stockos ground is fine, wind is the only problem. Cookers ground starts good, usually ok in the middle, and is pretty fcked by the end..same every year, but each year we try to make it a little bit better than the last, and as hard to believe as it sounds, it actually is pretty good for this time of year compared to the last 3.

Chef you must have something against lower Lake Mac teams - firstly you ripped into Westlakes and now Motown

You need to get your facts correct

Morri won in 2010 got promoted and lost most of first grade to Toronto (followed Steve Eagleton )

2011 lost grand final 2-1 in ZPL

2012 lost the bulk of team 3 games into season and played mainly 23s in first grade

The key will be keeping the team - if they do that they wont struggle like you think but only time will tell

[Chef]

Thanks for jogging my memory champ.
Thats what I'm saying. I hope you can maintain your squad over the next few seasons to compete in the higher grade.
Last time you guys went up everyone left and it was a real shame because you had such a good team. It would be a real shame to see the same thing happen again. I wish you guys all the very best in the future.
Good luck for the finals and next year Bud.
Go the Strikers.( you like that )?

I think keeping a squad is the key to all teams (promoted or relegated)

It was a shame in 2011 - i think Eags held such a sway over the squad they would follow him any where.... probably different now based on the fact most of the team has been through it before. ....

Athletics field you want to play on in first half of the year. Whilst it has good grass cover the undulations aren't too bad, once that grass goes she's pretty ordinary

[Wilso8948]

Must be said I also took into account the general facilities and viewing that adds to the whole day out

[hawk]

2012 lost the bulk of team 3 games into season and played mainly 23s in first grade

That is poor for mine. If they had of left before the season the team could have been regraded more suitably. can understand if 1 or 2 were offered to play in a much better league else where.

[ICEBERG10]

Well it'll be Ladies Day when you visit Rathmines Wilso so if you like food platters and champers you'll love our facilities.


As for grounds....
Nelson Bay superb
Cookers ( played there rd 2 ground was good and facilities superb)
Stockton wasn't there personally but heard good things.
Warner's Bay good field couldn't fit an U6 team in their sheds though.
Kotara South not bad pitch but goalposts didn't look very rectangular......
Beresfield pitch did all sorts when a ball was passed.
Morisset we played at juniors at night which was fine the other place is a footy field and a swamp!
Jesmond and Charlestown both ruined by a cricket pitch in the middle!!

[front2]

as ICEBURG10 mentioned. Cookers facilities are superb. Changerooms etc are EPL standard compared to most npl clubs. GET that pitch level!

[Wilso8948]

In 1st grade, the finishing spots of 2nd to 4th are still undecided, while Reserves has nothing set in stone yet.

Just curious on everyone's thoughts, but are you a fan of the current finals system? Or would you prefer we returned to the 'old' way? Ie:

1 v 2 - Winner through to GF, Loser host semi following week
3 v 4 - Loser eliminated, winner through to play loser 1v2

There's pros and cons for both systems so keen to know what the majority think??

[Wilso8948]

The question wasn't directed at promotion. The question was which finals set up do you rather.. and why.

[onlooker]

My opinion and one I know isn't shared by many is to do away with finals all together. First past the post crowned champions and leave it at that, I know it will most likely never happen tho just my opinion.

But as to which system I like more when it comes to finals, the old way for me with higher team hosting games until gf then a neutral venue.

[C'mon man]

old way for sure !!!

[Nelson Bay Road]

Old format for sure and in my opinion the Grand final should be played at a ground within in the comp....

give benefit to one of the teams in the division willing to host the day and not NPL/NEWFM grounds!

New format for mine, better team usually wins over the 2 legs. From experience nothing better than playing a GF at Magic Park, Jaffa's or Edgy, great surface, facilities and atmosphere. You grow an extra leg GF day on those grounds. Get a bit of a taste of what it's like playing with the big boys!!!

I agree as a spectical it's a much better atmosphere and all the partying after is great fun but does it really mean anything? I understand it's a great way to cap off a season if you come first or if u finish 2nd -4th it in some way makes up for not finishing in top spot but winning a gf don't get u anywhere.

I guess I'm just one of those people who hate seeing the word 'minor' used for winning the comp. yes I know the medals say other wise But still so many people see winning a gf as the 'major' prize and believe it deserves to get them places.

i would love to see a combination of old and new. I like the two legged set up but there is no benefit for finishing first or second really.
I would be a big fan of:
Week 1 finals first leg
2v1
4v3

Week 2 finals second leg
1v2
3v4

Week 3 qualifying final
Winner 1v2 week off
Loser 1v2 vs winner 3v4

Week 4
Winner 1v2 vs winner qualifying final

I know it's longer but only a week. Do away with the washout round and start the finals series earlier.
Gives benefit to those coming first or second and also rules out one of performances with 2 legged finals.

With cookers winning it comes down to the last game of the year and 3 teams could still take out the premiership... What a finish !!!

[Macca]

Westlakes vs Stockton
3rds 0-0
Ressies something outrageous like 1-10
1sts 3-3 Great game in firsts, thought we might have pinched it in the end after coming back three times to level it up. A hard game but overall pretty fair, ref did a decent job. I spent half the game on the deck and the icepack is gonna be getting a workout.

Thanks for the games Stocko, good to have a bit of a crowd and thanks to any and all ladies who came and enjoyed our Ladies Day.

Thoughts on the first leg?

[C'mon man]

one thing for sure it will be blowing a gail at stocko tomorrow

In 1st can Morisset push through and do the double ? I think Stockton could beat them... but they need to win tomorrow at home
Cooks Hill i think will have enough to beat Warners Bay over 2 legs

in the lower grades which i have a invested interest in .... can we at Kotara go Back2Back in ressies and thirds ??
In ressies i feel its pretty wide open and both semis are going to be tight could go either way
Cooks Hill may just have enough to edge past Morisset but not sure if they are getting some players back this week

Kotara 3rds have been strong all year and have the exprienced old campaigners to do the job i feel .... but it wont be easy
Kotara v Warners Bay do get through

[Wilso8948]

Highly doubt it'll be blowing a Gail. Suppose to be 12km/h winds so I'm sure you'll be fine.

0-0 in 3rds. Pretty niggly and very stop start. Wind was causing a few issues with movement in the air. First 35 mins very even, but last 5 and 2nd half Kotara had more of the chances. Sets up an exciting 2nd leg at Mori

[C'mon man]

Kotara 2-0 v Stockton in reserve grade
Both teams didn't really play well to be honest but kotara had all the chances
First goal was a great solo effort second was a tap in
Stockton had two sent off late which was a shame really - both were silly

[controlzone]

Did Morisset only practice long balls at training this week??

Hey just wondering if someone from morisset could answer this for me.....

Last game of the season in reserve grade your captain (dread lock guy) got sent - off against Kotara
But he played against Cooks Hill last week in the 1st Leg of the semi

I would have thought he would have had to serve a one game suspension ????

That doesn't seem right..a suspension is a suspension of a game, period..not a game in a certain grade. Don't think it works that way. Besides isn't the thought that he played ressies both weeks?

[jaypee]

I am loving this conspiracy theory banter........

[ha'way the lads]

There's no conspiracy theory, people are just after an explanation as to how you can receive a red card and not be suspended. Or was it not processed in time and he'll serve the suspension this weekend? Stocko had 2 sent off in res grade on Saturday, they're ok to play this weekend are they?

[hawk]

can appeal against the severity of a red? or the appeal hasnt been decided and is held over

[namwob99]

can appeal against the severity of a red? or the appeal hasnt been decided and is held over

I'm no expert but I'm fairly sure you must serve the 1 week regardless of severity or appeal.

[Ker-Plunk]

automatic one game suspension , no appeal . played an ineligible player .

[C'mon man]

Jaypee I'm assuming you are involved with Motown .... are you telling me that this player in question did not receive a red card against kotara in the last game of the the year ?!?

[onlooker]

Yea I asked the same thing about another player and I got told....... It does not count for lower grades. Strange rule I reckon. Or a good cover up
Good cover up once u get a red u can't play any football, I got sent off filling in for res grade then wasn't aloud to play in my usual Friday night game until I served the weeks suspension for the res team I ended up missing 3 Friday night games because the res team was washed out a few times. So I'd say this team could be in a spot of bother.

[The Spy]

I know they used to talk about wiping cards leading into finals series, ie if you were on 3 yellows after your final regular season game, these didn't carry over into the semi's. But I wouldn't think that's the same with a red card, because as someone pointed out, it's an automatic 1 week suspension.

The only logical explanation, and being Macquarie Football anything can happen, is if the referee didn't end up lodging the red after that game.

Best check with the federation, because 4-0 is a big deficit to come back from, and any little help would be worth it...

[rolo]

Did someone say I can play now? Haha

If you get a red or a yellow card that puts you over the limit in the last game you still have to serve that suspension.

[Beppe]

If I was cooks hill, I would contact the federation and just ask the question. Why was this guy eligible to play when he was sent of the prior week? If they say no red card was submitted by the referee, then the question should be WHY was no red card submitted.

Don't quote me, but I'm pretty sure I have read in the rules that a forfeit in either leg, forfeits the tie. If I am correct, that means there would be no res game tomorrow... that would be strange.

[C'mon man]

Sorry Boz just wanted Morisset to give their version of what has went down... Maybe they were informed from the association to late or maybe the referee report was filled out incorrectly ... That's all...

[boz-monaut]

can everyone just check their facts before posting - otherwise posts will be deleted

e.g. Hotline - instead of saying 'you're pretty sure you read...' just go to the rules and regs for the competition on the Newcastle Football website and look them up - here they are http://newcastlefootball.com.au/fileadmin/user_upload/nth-nsw-football/Zones/Newcastle/Regulations/2015/REGULATION_E_2015.pdf

then you can quote the regulation

that may be open to interpretation and we'll still have to hold off judgement until we hear anything from the associations

We had a similar situation few seasons ago in zl3 against simba and that single game was overturned to a forfeit 3-0 win to us. That was the second leg of the finals. Id assume the same thing would happen here

It wouldn't be classed as a 2 leg forfeit, that rule would only be a proper forfeit I reckon, like not enough to field a team. I'd say it would be 3-0 same as simba

Does that mean the player in question is now suspended for the 2nd leg? If so I hope they play him again and cookers progress. A few less loud mouth Morry fans at grand final day would be a blessing for all

I've seen on Fox Sports Pulse that the 1st grade Stockton v Morriset 1st leg reads 3-0 to Stockton

The plot thickens....

can everyone just check their facts before posting - otherwise posts will be deleted

e.g. Hotline - instead of saying 'you're pretty sure you read...' just go to the rules and regs for the competition on the Newcastle Football website and look them up - here they are http://newcastlefootball.com.au/fileadmin/user_upload/nth-nsw-football/Zones/Newcastle/Regulations/2015/REGULATION_E_2015.pdf

then you can quote the regulation

The res result is still 4-0 to Morri though.

[jaypee]

Sorry Boz just wanted Morisset to give their version of what has went down... Maybe they were informed from the association to late or maybe the referee report was filled out incorrectly ... That's all...

After the games and process go through I think we will respond. ...

What I will say is the above is pretty close to the truth.... in fact its very close

[Happy Tiger]

Heard via the grapevine that Charlie beat Warners Bay 3-1 in 3rd grade

Motown 2- 0 over Cookers

6-0 aggregate

But we will let the next few days play out to work out who is playing next weekend

Appeal happening this week..... so not over just yet

[GB285]

Cooks Hill through due to 3-0 result from the first leg- Never ever heard of a team loosing both semi finals but progressing... How proud Cookers must feel...

[C'mon man]

The disappointing thing for Morisset is that now in hindsight the player in question was not needed... They should have just let him serve the ban regardless if the assoc informed them late or the ref said something to them after the kotara game... It's a shame for them cos they are a good team

To be clear - we rang the association and they said all our players were cleared - so not even late notification but notification in the positive (even the association agrees this is what they told us)

There are other issues as well but hey I have bit my tongue till now and I will continue to...

So at this current time Cooks Hill are through? If so I can't see you winning your appeal unfortunately.

The ground announcer said Motown through on 6-0 aggregate. Because it was a somewhat confusing fixture would there have been extra time had Motown scored again or would the referees be officiating as if Motown were already 4-0 up?

So the 3-0 corrected result that was entered for 1sts in SP should have been entered for res?

Why would Cooks Hill be proud ? wake up. what a cheap shot. Cookers have more silverware from legit efforts,that more than prove how proud we are as a successful club.

Whats the real situation at the moment front2?

Sure but whilst we are on cheap shots your coach yelling out at the end of the game that we were cheats was a low blow as well... especially when the majority of cookers understood the situation and the agregate score

[C'mon man]

What was the score in 1st grade more importantly ?

How would you react if the opposition coach came to you at the end of the game and said 'you should be embarrassed that you are going through'
It's not the best situation for anyone but honestly morisset have no one to blame but their coaching staff for knowingly playing a suspended player. That was what everyone in the stands said too. You should stop blaming cookers, kotara, refs, association and blame the decision makers in your club that tried to knowingly skirt the rules. Regardless if the association said there wasn't a suspended player everyone in that team knew there was and played him anyway and ringing them to check if he could play is a clear admission of guilt in that you all knew he was suspended and were hoping you had got away with it.

Bay 1-0. Cookers on top early but missed chances, bay grabbed a counter and held out. Good luck to them next week, should be a good game vs mori or stocko
