Couple of light kick arounds last year, ramped up this week.
Been getting good numbers, good to see the lads are keen. This heat and pre-season training in it is borderline criminal.

Barnsley relegated, Morisset promoted.

We were supposed to play Tenambit but they cancelled on Saturday night so we had an inter club trial on Sunday

Edit: wouldn't read to much into Cardiffs earlier form, everyone wrote them off early last year and look how that turned out.

knocked off convincingly I don't think so, if tigers had a bit more composure in front of goal, it would of been a bit different result, but hey credit, Barnsley took there chances well. Barnsley should go well in zone 1 under the guidance of Mr Kelly.

How are your boys shaping up? There was a rumour going around on this forum somewhere that you were getting players in from Warners Bay or something? You had a good strong team last season, hope you retained players to build on that.

I beg to differ. I based mine on facts. I didn't state other teams due to lack of knowledge; hence "Everyone else still seems fair game".

1. Beresfield have had alot of good games over preseason and solidified their already strong team with additional players (so I hear). Their results showed that.
2. Morriset I watched on the weekend. Solid players and growing chemistry will make them top 4 material. I also admit I was comparing their play to last years teams in ZPL.

Injuries could play a part. With the comp being so tight, I think whoever deals with injuries best with squad depth will be up there. The top 10-15 players at each club seem on par. Will make a difference once a few of those start becomming unavailable and how clubs perform then.
Suns unfortunately lost their top scorer from last year with a snapped achilles in the first half on the weekend.

I have been wondering if that along with a long weekend played any part in some games being off throughout zone leagues.
Cooks Hill called out Athletics park too, that ground never gets called, especially on a mostly sunny and windy day. Any more to it i wonder?

Also, a lot of game reviews in these threads seem to suggest many teams had numbers missing. I know it has been a major issue in the past with local netball having trouble with numbers when that festival is on.

Mate you want to very careful spouting things you on here you NOTHING of, I live in town and it absolutely flogged down from 5am (up with the baby) till at least 9:30am. Only call that could have been made was to call it off. We were full strength at Cookers and filthy it was called off but no one can predict the weather. Muppets like you insinuating that we would deliberately call a game off due to players unavailable need to pull their head in. Maybe contact the club before shooting your mouth off!!!!

They used to be able to call off Rooball, or all non-a grade games or just single fields, so I don't see why they couldn't call off all age and play ZPL, even just first grade.

Imo, there needs to be an avenue that opposition teams can go down to verify that the ground is unplayable.
Whether they go and inspect or get an independent to inspect or offer an alternative ground.
If both teams are happy that it's washed out, leave it be. If unhappy, give them a pathway to follow to maintain integrity.

Not commenting on any specific incident. Just what I've seen/heard in NPL, NEWFM and ZP and zone leagues.

Settle down buddy, i was not spouting anything. It was simply a question of people missing from multiple games in multiple grades. Someone else had hinted that groovin the moo played a part in another decision (true or not, who knows?) and i was simply thinking of other games that were off throughout zone leagues.. and there weren't many to list!
And it is true that Athletics Park very rarely gets washed out am i right?

Imo, there needs to be an avenue that opposition teams can go down to verify that the ground is unplayable.
Whether they go and inspect or get an independent to inspect or offer an alternative ground.
If both teams are happy that it's washed out, leave it be. If unhappy, give them a pathway to follow to maintain integrity.

This probably works in theory but i don't know that it would in practice. I am unsure how the Barnsley situation last year panned out, as in who made the decision that it was playable and at what time. Seems strange to do that in one case and not have some kind of appeal in other cases. Do teams go and inspect opposition fields when they are called out? and if they do, what kind of pull do they have if appealing? i means it a matter of opinion and a call made at 8.30 in the morning can be difficult to judge for a 3oclock 1st grade kick off... a lot can happen in that time.

Pretty easy in practice I would think.
All clubs have the contact person for opposition teams. Quick call on a day of concern to converse about the situation. If its been pissing down and both parties don't wish to inspect the pitch call it off. If the away team wishes to inspect they arrange themselves (or appropriate committee member) to inspect together with the home team committee member. If they inspect and agree, call it off. If they inspect and cant agree, leave it in the hands of the ref.

I have been wondering if that along with a long weekend played any part in some games being off throughout zone leagues.
Cooks Hill called out Athletics park too, that ground never gets called, especially on a mostly sunny and windy day. Any more to it i wonder?

Also, a lot of game reviews in these threads seem to suggest many teams had numbers missing. I know it has been a major issue in the past with local netball having trouble with numbers when that festival is on.

I'll go about it in a much nicer way. Just be careful by saying statements such as "any more to it I wonder?"

Stockton was called off. I live out of town and was Sunny most of the morning. I was then sent photos from local boys with the ground ankle deep in water covering over half the pitch. We had a LOT of coastal rain. May explain why Cooks hill was also cancelled.

They used to be able to call off Rooball, or all non-a grade games or just single fields, so I don't see why they couldn't call off all age and play ZPL, even just first grade.

Imo, there needs to be an avenue that opposition teams can go down to verify that the ground is unplayable.
Whether they go and inspect or get an independent to inspect or offer an alternative ground.

Not commenting on any specific incident. Just what I've seen/heard in NPL, NEWFM and ZP and zone leagues.

You can still call out single fields. The thing is, you have to make the call on grounds prior to the cut off for cancelation of games. If the fields look dicey, you have to make a call. If it dries out ofter that, not much you can do. Same when as happened last year to us, it pisses down rain after the call is made and the pitch gets trashed.

As for our grounds, I don't care what an opposition team/club thinks of the pitch. If our ground committee, independent of the ZPL, thinks it is not in the grounds best interest to play, we will call it off. A lot of clubs have pitches that are questionable at best by the middle and end of the season, so you do what you can to look after it as best as possible. You obviously have to be reasonable with it, but the grounds are used by more than just the ZPL squads and clubs also have a responsibility to other teams in looking after the pitch. An opposition team, who only have to play on the pitch once in a season, are not going to care or have a balanced view of whether a game should or should not be played and I don't think should have any call on whether a game is on.

Offering up an alternate pitch is all well and good, but then you are denying clubs a big revenue stream through the canteen and booze sales.

But if the club calls game on the ref can then call it off if it does hore down just before the game.

Has a ref recently been bothered to call off or do they always seem to play on?

The ref will only call it if its dangerous to play on, a pitch can get destroyed well before you reach that point.

Ive been playing for 37 years and only had one occasion when I was 16 where a ref has called the day even though the fields are declared open.

It just comes down to whether people value a single game of football higher than the pitch they will need to play on for the remainder of the season. Being Round 3 just gone, I have no issues with clubs being conservative with their decision. I think preserving pitches at this time of the year is far more likely than any conspiracy theories about calling off games due to weakened squads.

Played a game at the Suns ground last year. All three grades playing waterpolo football across the entire field. If the ball hit the ground it would stop dead. Several players running passed the ball after it didnt go where they expected it.

Exactly, and if the field looks dubious at 9am, you aren't going to take a punt on it clearing up. You make the best call you can at the time.

I've called plenty off at our ground that I know our ZPL would want to play. I assume most squads are like ours, they just want to play football. But when a club has a duty to care for the facility, as we do in Lakw Mac, you respect it.

These conspiracy theories reflect more on the people raising them than they do on the clubs allegedly calling games out.

There is a certain section of our ground, that our ground staff has been working hard to fix. I'm truly sorry if any injury has been sustained at our ground, however none of our ground threw this season so far has been unplayable.
We at Garden Suburb haven't been as blessed to receive will over $500,000 from Lake Maquarie Council to upgrade our ground and facilities in the last 5 years. Sorry...

You don't want to see anyone get hurt anytime, whether through a tackle or playing surface.

Unfortunately, that section of field is going to be as it is in the wet or dry. We have had issues through the off season, after some repairs were done during summer to level the ground, with people (players from other clubs) cutting chains to install the goals and have a kick around. That area had been destroyed before the season even got started. It got worse at Easter when it effectively got trashed.

How do we know they are players from other clubs? Members of our club have had some pretty heated arguments trying to get people to relocate, and kit being worn on a number of occasions were of other clubs (NPL and ZPL).

There was long debate about delaying the use of that ground, but if you have ever played on the top ground (ignoring that it is too short and narrow) the surface is diabolical and barely up to training, let alone playing. Most of the damage was done to the ground over Easter which essentially destroyed ground maintenance that had been done over summer. By then it was too late to get grass to grow in the sand pit. Our ZPL was renting other clubs facilities for trials to give that area a chance to be playable.

The field that day was not wet,far from it. If anything we are very conservative about using the ground in the wet. The only time it gets used wet is when the rain comes after cancellation time. And yes, the area in the box at the bush end is less than ideal. No one at the club will pretend it is, but unfortunately due to what really amounts to vandalism it's what our club has to work with this season.

In terms of playing on it though, it is no worse than the ground I played on today with a raised turf cricket pitch in the middle. I also know it's not that clubs fault, they just do the best with the pitch they have to work with.

Are you for real legal action FFS !!!!!!!!!!! People me included have been on about dubious games being called off which is part of football and always will be and you have the hide to come on here with this rubbish , We played there first round and admittedly not the best playing surface but certainly playable . The Garden Suburb people have responded on here some issues beyond there control however a couple of things for you and your duty of care and legal action 1 - on that weekend if you count juniors over 200 players took the field on that ground and one player unfortunately does his ACL , 2- also your club at anytime could have refused to play not just them so duty of care ???? , 3 - The player was not forced to play by anyone I assume but again your own clubs duty of care , 4 - people are volunteers who give up there time to clubs so if we start threating legal action we would certainly lose numerous people at all clubs , 5 - The referees on the day obviously deemed the ground playable on the day as well , PULL YOUR HEAD IN

The problem with Morri is not the team its that the coach does not have the dressing room.

Players do not want to play for him

His keeper this week was a left winger from ressies..... (first grade keeper suspended, reserve grade keeper injured, third grade keeper refuses to play for him)....

Sooner he goes (or wakes up the fact no one wants to play for him) the better that team will go.....

He seems like he has done alot for Morri over the years, and has had success recently, so why is their a problem now? Its 3rd division, what type of coach do you think your going to get? Alot of the coaches in the lower divisions are there to help the club out because options are limited.

There was a problem last year (look at the 2nd half of the season)....

The ressies coach from last year brought a lot of guys back to the club last year - their success is not down to the coach but the lads themselves......

There are more qualified coaches at the club - but politics has played its part

Sounds like a case of players thinking they know more than the coach.

Players should stick to being players and let the coaches do their thing.

If the players were any good, they probably wouldn't be playing third div football.

Best thing I saw all of last year was when Morriset were playing us, the coach pulls a player over with about 20 to go and passed him a note, only for a player that was told the message to then yell out and tell everyone else that they were changing formation.

I have played for great coaches, I have played for poor coaches.... In W.A I even played with a first grade team that had a coach sacked after the team approached the committee.

The best coaches have the ability to engage and win respect... IMO The best players have respect and a clubmen mentality... It always works both ways.

Lack of leadership from the committee + lack of respect between coach and players = Shit outcome

Far bit if hearsay going on in some of these posts, nothing out of line, but nothing based on facts. I am not a current Morisset player but they've just made the jump from ZL1 to ZPL and don't seem to be out of place. Any problems between the players and the coach should be discussed between the players and the coach.. simples! Leave these sorts of things in house where they belong and don't deal with them on a faceless forum.

Truth speaker, not disagreeing with points said about the coach and squad but you said more qualified coaches.. I know that the current 1st grade coach has his Class C seniors licence. So you're saying Morisset have someone floating around with more? Why not say something to the Secretary or president who both play in the squad.

Just jumped on here for a captain cook and must say I'm a tad surprised by the Morisset press. The table shows a win at home tonight over Suns, whom the table suggests are very beatable and Morisset would then sit on 9 points, 1 point outside the 4 in their first year in ZPL. Hardly seems a reason for mutiny from anyone within. Clearly my opinion is based solely on looking from the outside in. There are a lot of clubs in Newcastle Football languishing at or toward the bottom in divisions they have been in for years, some 10+.

Will they have the squad depth to keep them there?

Ressies, shaky.

Thirds, abysmal at best. Heard they have used AA/O35 players almost every game. After copping a bunch of injuries early on.

If they can keep their starting 11-13 fit, they could be in it.

Yes agree thirds are disappointing ATM ressies may be on the rise and Mayfield firsts are traveling along nicely ATM I believe maybe a few positional changes may help third grade but we'll have to wait and see.

If you hear racist remarks at any ground, report it to the referee and have your coach report it the opposition coach, get it sorted there and then.

If you're still hearing it have your club report it to the association.

If it's just banter, then walk away and laugh it off. Everyone knows where the line is, if it's crossed then you need to say that the line has been crossed. If someone continues on with it then it's your responsibility to do something about it.

Fair comments Frodo, but have been down that path before and the time that goes in to proceeding that way for nothing to eventuate even in situations when referees hear everything does make you want to not bother. Trust me, I'm all for banter on the pitch and from on the sidelines. But to single out people during the whole match due to their physical appearance and or background, then that's what I seriously don't agree with.
At the end of the day when it's happened from the same group of people for so long and we are taught to forget it and let it go because that's just the way it is. You can take it to heart or the easiest thing to do is just pretend it's not happening.
Maybe at these particular fixtures there can be officials at the ground to monitor in future.

I have no doubt you guys cop a lot more shit that is out of line than a lot of other teams, and mocking the Kebapi Roll should an instant send off. That's like insulting boobs!

For future reference, when it inevitably happens again at another fixture and this is just my personal opinion. I would ask one of your coaches to approach the 1st grade coach and tell him first, then tell the Ref. Some of the idiots that yell out stupid crap at games will at least change the tone of their banter if the 1st grade coach has a word to them..

If it doesn't fix it on the day, i would think it wouldn't be impossible to get a hold of the club president via phone or even email, let him/her know. I know the Morisset President personally and i know that he, like my current club's President, would be very unhappy to hear that someone was offended by something said by one of their players/supporters.

Hi there first time user. I was also at this game between Morrisett and the Suns . Yes there was a little bit of banter being thrown around like it does in all games I've watched.but it definitely was not one sided from where I was standing I heard on numerous occasions players from Newcastle Suns yell at Morrisett players something in there own language which I can only assume if it was a derogatory remark ,or why wouldn't they say it in English go figure ... Yes racially taunting some one has no place in this great game . But when someone tells only part off the story it sort of gets up my nose ... They throw accusations towards another team that paints them as club full of racist and bigets which is not correct .ive been to most games this season and yes Morrisett are a team that plays hard but fair .. They only give what they get ... So finally if your going to post something on the forum make sure it tells the whole story off the game not snippets that show other teams in the competition as bad sports ....

Well thanks for coming. I'm glad we finally found Waldo :)
Firstly, I was on the pitch and there were only two players on the pitch that speak Macedonian. I honestly didn't hear anything being said from those players. In saying that, I was not really close to either of those positions, so I can't confirm, nor deny.
My issue is that over the past 9 years I have been at the club, the only club that we constantly have these incidents with is Morisset (FYI; there's only one R). Now I'm sure if you attend or speak with the majority of clubs we play against week in, week out and especially clubs like Garden Suburb, Kotara, Mayfield, New Lambton, etc whom we have played against for a number of years you'll find that incidents like last night do not occur. Now I'm sure you may find it hard to believe, but maybe if you just put yourself in someone else's shoes and if you are being constantly taunted, insulted and provoked. Then maybe, just maybe you'll react. Now I don't condone abusing people whether it be in English or another language - as far as I'm concerned, there's no place for it. Our club over the past 10 years particularly have done a lot of hard work the clean up their name that was tarnished in the early days, and I think that the club is very well respected by most these days. If you honestly think that our teams go around to every ground and just start hurling abuse towards the opposition players and supporters in different languages, then maybe you need to attend a fixture that doesn't involve Morisset to get a true reflection and then you my friend will actually see the WHOLE story. Rant over. Cheers, Lofty

His first year at the club and he certainly needs to pull his head in because childish behaviour like that is not something that we associate ourselves with. Dougie also needs to be pulled into line haha. He clearly said to me that the foul was "on the line", even though it was just inside. Even so, on the line is counted as part of the penalty box. He should either learn the basic rules or just cover himself by saying he thought it was outside the box!!!

Your not wrong m/town reserve grade are deadset filthy players and I'm surprised none of them haven't been sent off yet

We haven't had any problems with the Mo-town blokes, albeit there are a lot of connections between Gardo and Mo-town..
The only dirty player they have in ressies is that bloke who plays on the left (and keeper sometimes) that resembles a gypo love-child of Kwasnik and Vardy.. :gent:
