Anyone heard about Belmont AA-K being kicked out and multiple players being given multi-year bans after their performance last week after the game? Heard they surrounded a few players cars as they tried to leave and hit one of the opposition players girlfriend as well.
First I have heard of it.Quote:

Yeah that's what I thought, though other teams I've seen kicked out have taken one or two days.Quote:

They cruised all season in our comp (o35sF). We almost got them second last game of the year but gave up two late, late goals to lose 4-3 :/Quote:

Surely there is some scope for adjustments so the allocated grounds don't lose games.
Maybe someone knows someone and can actually ask.
The games get allocated to the various associations a few weeks before the season ends based on who is likely to win the various grades.Quote:

Bit rich though for Hunter Valley to take this league when they only have one team in the entire grade, 4 of the 5 are in Lake Macquarie and the last is in Newcastle.Quote:

It wouldn't even be that bad if the grounds and clubs closer to newy and lake mac were used but gresford is even a bloody 30min drive from Maitland at least.Quote:

O35 D final.
Redhead 4, valo 2. Redhead v edgie GF.
O-35 Fri B
new Lambton V bero
From grades that friends/enemies play in, there seems to have been a lot of runaway minor premiers exit in straight sets in the finals.
We are one off those teams in O35B. Undefeated only to suffer two 1-0 losses.Quote:

Minor Premiers in O35D didnt make the Grand Final either. They weren't runaways during the comp though.
Yeah I know this grade and friends of mine commented that a couple of teams had markedly different players from rounds 1 & 2 compared to round 3. I think both GF teams in this grade spent 2/3 of season around the bottom of the table yeah?Quote:

Another angle could be that we should applaud the graders for seemingly getting it right, where all teams were pretty close.
If I am honest, we shouldn't have been in B grade. We dropped out of A as we lost our entire midfield from last season and didn't think we were nearly as strong. We weren't but we still played well, till the finals when it all fell apart. I dont know how well we would have gone in A grade this season, but clearly the table shows we were. The rest of the comp was actually very close and it was only the last 2-3 rounds that the top 4 became a bit clearer.Quote:

The nature of Saturday O35's is that there is only 4 grades, so the grading is probably a bit tougher to make sure teams are right. I would prefer that they made A and B grades 8 team comps though and just slid the teams up, but that wont happen.
If we had made the grand final we would have played Warners Bay 5 times during the season. Thats one of the things I hate about 6 team comps.
Pick belswans mate........warners bay told us last week after they beat you that you lot said you'd see them in a fortnight......gave us a lift....anyway you will see them if you are bringing the beer...hahaQuote:

This year garden suburbs and Dudley were running away with it until Dudley lost points and warners bay jumped up. Belswans have hovered in the top 4 of the b grade for about 4 years now. It really only takes a player or 2 to come in or leave a team that pushes them up or down the table.Quote:

Oh yeah they don't think there's anything suss going on they just marvelled at Warners Bay having 6 blokes on the bench every week then telling them about their 13 injured blokes. The poor blokes I know struggled to get 10 carcasses on the park every week.Quote:

We will be back in A-Grade again next season. We actually had some very good games with Edgeworth last season. It's a bit like the Friday night comp before West Wallsend retired. You were playing for second in A-grade.Quote:

But right now I'm looking forward to watching Belswans v Warners Bay. It's not the grand final I was expecting but good luck to both of them.
Definitely nothing dodgy going on with the players in Belswans or Warners Bay from the 4 times we have played both of them. Looked like the same teams to me.
The Dudley boys are happy!
2-1 victors over Edgie. Toughest game I have played for a long time.
Won our Grand Final 6-0. Scoreline really unfair on our opponents, it just all came together perfectly on the day. Was 2-0 until they conceded a pen and had a bloke sent off at the same time, we went on with it from there.
10 team comp this season so was good to come out on top :)
Was that with Cardiff? I watched that one. didnt recognise ya lol. even for the 1st half then implosion from the yellowsQuote:
