Great to start the year with a win & hopefully no injuries.

Kahibah forfeited round 1 against our D Grade side, not a great start for them either.
Thanks for the notified forfeit Barnsley.
Thanks for not passing it on Macquarie. It?s not due to the Telstra outage but good try.
Any one from Bolwarra or Uni able to shed some light on this? Wild result.

Lads, what usually happens if a team has fielded players from higher divisions in AA?
If they take the risk that's their problem. That also assumes you know before the match.
🤣🤣
Cheating🥱🥱 what are they playing for the world cup
If anyone thinks AA is anything other then a kick about with mates, your dreaming.
Just enjoy the challenge and the game with your mate then get on with your life. Anyone who needs to put in a complaint to get the result changed for AA football in Newcastle is playing it for the wrong reason.
These are good questions for those teams that feel they need to bring in players from higher levels.
Another good statement for those happy to break the rules.Quote:

I feel you're in a team who constantly does this, love to see your reaction when your oppositions decides to ask their mate Boogaard and McBreen to play just for a kick.Quote:

There can be wildly disparate skill levels across All Age grades and ring-ins can make a fun competitive kick with your mates in to a miserable experience getting torn apart by players of a much higher skill level. Grading is enough of a crapshoot as it is without teams taking the piss with ring-ins.
Didn't realise this would be such a hot topic.
For those playing at home, the opposition had players on the bench but still ran players from an higher grade.
Club sent an inquiry - found out that 3 players were played from a higher grade and result was changed.
Is there anything worse than playing low grade all age and having guys carry on like a bunch of porkchops? played a couple of sides this year that need to remember its pub footy and to not try and throw handbags every 2nd foul or abuse the shit out of a club ref.
We've just been notified of a 4th forfeit this season. One team twice and two others once each. Pay a good deal of coin to lose a 1/4 of the season to not play. Pretty ordinary.
As nicely as it can be said - seems to be a response by teams not interested in playing against a team that, for whatever reason or reasons, dropped down too many leagues and probably shouldn't have. Might get more joy with competition, and enjoyment overall, by playing in a more suitable level next season.
Not disagreeing with that, we wanted E grade but every time we nominated for E they put us in C where we won 2 games in 2 years. We nominated low thinking they'd push us a few grades above our nomination but this year that didn't happen. Shouldn't nominate, last goes down, 1st goes up. 2-3 seasons and everyone will be pretty much in the right grade. In saying this, we are not leading the comp and I'm not aware of Toronto having 4 forfeits.
and another AA side gets booted from the comps, that's 2 sides in 2 weeks.
Ring-in players gets you booted....
Not surprised, always happens. A team our side had, decided to play zone league players in their AA side, beat us convincingly. Told the two guys running the team and who deal with the club to have it reported, but they couldn't be bothered since we can't make finals anyway but it still might mean they make finals because of the win
Any info out there on the dates and venues of finals yet?
Semis - 18-20 August
Prelim - 25-27 August
GF - 1-3 Sept
Venues won't be announced for a while
Have heard some big dramas coming out of Tenambit. Clerical error from an NPL team causing a points loss for a friday night AA team? Crazy if true
Have heard the players previous club spelt their name wrong (unbeknownst to the player). Then when he left that club was able to sign up, under correctly spelt name, for tenambit without knowing previous club hadn?t deregistered him yet (despite him informing of departure). Potentially the club that can?t spell is in the NPL. Allegedly
Surely under a different FFA number as well. Perhaps Hunter Football have been lenient in that it was an NPL club fault and not a player deliberately playing for a team they know they haven't registered for.
i have heard the player has previous form from last year, doing a very similar thing.
When you leave a club it is also up to you to start the dereg process.
Your FFA number is generic basically, it will follow you unless you change some details and you have to change a bit to get it through, pretty sure it also flags when clashes arise.
