2025 Zone League 1

[Two tone]

Newcastle Football and Northern should be pressuring council and NPL, NL1 clubs out of the finals to use their grounds.

I think you?re forgetting about all the juniors that NPL teams now have. That are still playing and they have finals as well.
Two senior teams not in finals, has just made some room for junior catch up?s.

Don?t be surprised if it?s called off. Mayfield have a contact at council and ground could be ?unsafe? and it has nothing to do with their mates playing the Jets tonight.

It?s true, this morning had a damp spot in one section, by this afternoon it was dry enough to play.

Excellent prediction and classic MAYFIELD Haha

Their 2nd last home game as well.. I’m sure they needed the field to be immaculate for when they play Stockton

[stopper2]

Yeah not sure what is going on at Mayfield.
We are nearing the end of the season, not half-way through...how much more "protection" does the pitch need?
There was a good window of opportunity to play 1st grade tonight and reduce the backlog of games building up but now with more rain predicted in coming days it just makes things so much harder.

Sounds like something Azzurri would do

[Mr Beautiful 2.0]

Can anyone confirm the latest I have heard is Suns will be promoted if Croatia cannot provide the new fm ground requirements by December this year that Northern requests . Background has Meyer park potentially being shared between the red clubs. Best of luck to whoever gets promoted I’m sure they will crush it.

[ForeverRed]

Rumour, P McGuiness to coach Croatia next year.

I take it Croatia offered to play the game at their facility instead?

Any teams playing them should go look themselves like Croatia did hence the drama with it all.

No point checking it. Newcastle Football checked it yesterday and deemed it fit to play but cannot overrule the ground licence holder or council.

A gutless decision by Mayfield.

They want to bang on about the integrity of the competition when Azzurri forfeited but here they had a ground good enough to play and crickets.

[mussfc]

Well hopefully facts don’t get in the way of a good story.
Mayfield park has been closed since last Thursday (all council inspections)
We advised Croatia that the ground was struggling as early as Monday but would keep them updated.
Croatia asked if they can find a ground would we move the game which we said yes. …Silence
Yesterday morning we phoned Newcastle football to see if they had any grounds we could transfer to? They advised Croatia have already asked today because Mayfield park is quite wet we were then advised that Pasadena has been opened by council.
Mayfield park was then inspected by council and closed. Immediately we were contacted by Croatia that Pasadena was open and would we play up there. We said Yes.
So for the next 3hrs we thought we were playing at Pasadena.
Until we received a call from Newcastle football that they were at Mayfield park doing a formal inspection with a Council representative that Croatia had organised.
The Croatian council guy was a player in their squad on leave from work and he felt it should be open but had no authority to open it.
When we questioned this we were advised any damage would still be against us as a club.
Newcastle football then rung us and said they felt Mayfield park should be closed but if desperate to play we could open it and it would get damaged and run a high injury risk.
We feel we have done everything correctly and stand by our call it was never about protecting ground it’s well gone it was all about player safety.
We gave plenty of notice , agreed to ground swop , agreed to play at Pasadena, council closed the ground officially, Newcastle football agreed ground should be closed, we done what we could.
We also have got speers point booked for next week to ensure game can go ahead , both teams don’t have a game booked next week so surely speers point is an advantage for them? And it doesn’t change anyone’s schedule.
The End

To take the heat of themselves.

What Mr Mayfield didn?t tell you was the pitch was checked by the GM of Newcastle Football who told Croatia that he believes the ground should be open.

Mayfields call to keep it closed which is embarrassing.

Except it was more than a chance it was actually deemed ok and opened by the council and seemingly everything was in place to play there?

I have no idea about it. With the conference playing at different days and ground haven?t seen any of the players in a while. It is the one thing about going up that it does split that team away from the top 2

I was only asking before if both teams agreed to move the game to Bero where did it fall over. Croatia are near unbeatable at Bero

I would like to give a shout out to Warners Bay for hosting the games last night, given the weather lately the field was in excellent condition, and would be one of the best pitches we've played on this season.
So credit to the club and grounds staff for being able to dish up a nice field to play on, myself and the boys were all pleasantly surprised.

Yep you are right, I asked the club and they are playing all age this weekend. Depending on the weather.

Mayfield vs Stockton
Only played 39 minutes with two stoppages due to hail and lightening. The conditions deteriorated and took referee to call it off after one of Stockton's midfielder got injured severely. Mayfield scored about 37 minutes mark and were leading 1-0. I guess the game will he replayed from where it finished and score to remain as 1-0.

The fact a team not even from Newfm won that competitions grand final last season is an absolute joke. And dont even get me started on the fact they were awarded a trophy and medals for doing so.

The finals series is made up with a vast majority of Newfm teams based on where they finished in their league campaign. Hence it?s a finals series for the Newfm competition with one outside addition. How is that so hard for you to comprehend?

You do realise I made no claims against Mayfield I was in fact actually sticking up for them saying that they made the correct call in closing their ground midweek. You have had an absolute nightmare here pal

One more win secures minor premiership for the Croats
Looking at the goal difference you have to say it?s well deserved.
Best attack
Best defence. Goal difference of 60 in 19 matches.
Those sort of stats win titles.

[stopper2]

True, the table never lies by seasons end.
Only I thought the terminology "Minor" Premiership for the league winners has been long gone in Australian Football, especially as winning the league earns clubs promotion to the next division so it is actually a more important title than winning the Grand Final.

It has been long gone, it?s been premiers and grand final winners for a while now. What don?t help is clubs still posting it as ?minor?. Nothing minor about being the best team over a whole season.

No doubt - that?s the nature of tiered competitions.
They would be at least mid table in ZL1 with the current team based on what I saw. They?ve conceded only 9 goals in 18 matches, which is outstanding. They press hard, all across the pitch. Any team that doesn?t play quickly will struggle against them. The ZL1 teams with be sterner test for that defence obviously, but they were very slick.

Let?s get another thing straight. The Suns representative/president didn?t say anything abusive to anyone. He was simply standing up for his player and pointing out what he believed was poor sportsmanship from Uni. Is that really abuse?
People need to get their facts straight before accusing the president of abusing players. Labelling someone as abusive without evidence is not only unfair?it?s damaging.

Incorrect. Regardless of whether it is the goal keeper unless it is a head injury the play will still be stopped at the discretion of the referee. There is no official rule saying otherwise. The goalkeeper however does not have to leave the field of play after treatment.

From: https://www.theifab.com/laws/latest/the-referee/#powers-and-duties

?Injuries
- allows play to continue until the ball is out of play if a player is only slightly injured
- stops play if a player is seriously injured and ensures that the player is removed from the field of play. An injured player may not be treated on the field of play and may only re-enter after play has restarted; if the ball is in play, re-entry must be from the touchline but if the ball is out of play, it may be from any boundary line. Exceptions to the requirement to leave the field of play are only when:
* a goalkeeper is injured
* a goalkeeper and an outfield player have collided and need attention
* players from the same team have collided and need attention
* a severe injury has occurred
* a player is injured as the result of a physical offence for which the opponent is cautioned or sent off (e.g. reckless or serious foul challenge), if the assessment/treatment is completed quickly
* a penalty kick has been awarded and the injured player will be the kicker?

:lulz:

You think there's a bunch of Doogie Howsers with whistles out there in the middle knowing whats slightly injured vs seriously injured?

Ref made a call. If its as described then Uni should have done a Wenger and let the Suns score.

If not....then sit back and pray for karma I guess.

Also, club Prez should have chucked the gloves on and got his monies worth giving the nerds the big ones.

[ZLWB]

So Croatia are locked in Premiers, and deservedly so. Suns need only 2pts from their remaining matches (Westlakes, Olympic, and Azzuri) to secure 2nd. Uni have 1 game left but it?s against Croatia, meaning Kotara with 2 games left are a chance of pinching 3rd place. They have a tricky match against Swansea this weekend.
Then there?s the battle for fifth between Cardiff, Mayfield, and Olympic. Olympic have a game in hand over the other two, and a better goal difference. So the winner of the catch-up between Mayfield and Olympic should get 5th, but if they draw that benefits Cardiff.
Final games for these teams
Mayfield - Olympic, Stockton
Cardiff - Warners Bay, Westlakes
Olympic - Azzuri, Suns, Mayfield

Final table
Croatia
Suns
Kotara
Uni
Cardiff/Mayfield/Olympic

Mathematically it?s still possible for Warners Bay, but the combination of results required is so unlikely I?ve discounted that possibility.

Azzuri forfeits are in. Teams fighting for finals in last games.

First Grade - 4 teams for 5th place. 5th place currently 34pts. Mayfield (34pts), Cardiff (32pts), WB (32pts), Olympic (31pts). All with 1 game to play
Ressies - 5 teams for 3 places 3rd-5th. 5th place currently 34pts. Cardiff (38pts), Olympic (36pts), Swansea (34pts), Uni (33 pts), Mayfield (31pts) 1 to 3 games to play
Conference - 4th-5th between 5 teams. 5th place 28 pts. WB (28pts), Uni (28pts), Swansea (23pts), Kahibah (21pts), Mayfield (18pts). Oh my, some teams with 4 games to play.

So riddle me this... why aren't the first round games a 3-0 forfeit also?

Newcastle football have made a mess of this. It only seems fair that all games are the same?

Tin foil hat, if mayfield lose and warners bay defeat Cardiff this weekend, they are through to the semis due to the fact that their loss against Azzuri was changed to a 3-0 win? WOW

Don?t forget the one point Azzurri took from Cardiff? give Cardiff those 2 points, then the split between Mayfield and Cardiff is GD.

And you’re forgetting the GD changes for all teams now as well. Anyone who had a 4+ win over Azzurri has been disadvantaged. On the other hand anyone who only beat them by 1 or 2 goals will be happy

How do you think the suns players feel not playing them at all in both rounds and some clubs put 10+ on them in round 1. all games should be 3-0 wins and all goal scorers removed from the records and all best and fairest votes removed as well.

What a mess!
