Kotara racially abused Olympic players, if they say they didn?t then they are lying, it was wrong and needs to be dealt with.

If it?s just a rumour, just throw the team name out there, my guess is Stocko.

This would be a shame. Now that Azzurri are out I think all clubs left have the potential to really add something to this competition. Yes Westlakes & Stockton have not had the best seasons but on their day both teams can give most others a decent game.

Yeah because Kotara won. Love how when there's abuse from both sides only 1 claims the bigger butthurt of racism.

Because being called a **** is ok but w*g isnt and we must only make one name criminal.

Seriously, I got called a wog a couple times when i played for Azzurri & whitey skip for other clubs. Not once did I feel like crying or fall down dying, besides i wasnt in the penalty area.

Sledging happens all the time. Not 1 is more worse than the other. Grow a set and get on with the game you weak pieces of turd.

There, have another cry.

I don't think Stocko is going anywhere. It could be Westlakes who have been in this league for a few years and always finished somewhere at bottom of the table.

Round 22

Olympic 3-2 Mayfield
Swansea 2-4 Kotara
Uni 2-1 Croatia
Westlakes 2-3 Cardiff
Azzurri 0-3 Suns lol
Warners bay 2-2 Stockton

Cardiff best westlakes
2-1 in 1sts
4 nil Res

I feel bad for Suns not getting on again against the Peoples club. in my opinion top goal scorer trophy this year should not be presented/awarded because of this.

AUZZRRI are nothing short of a basket case absolute disrespect for the club and the competition ever since the powers to be changed the club has gone backwards the current hierarchy there are incompetent individuals ruining a once great junior and senior club and most of all a disgrace to the Italian colours.

Perhaps the entire comp should be stopped and just redone next near.

If Newcastle investigated every time a club member called the oppositions grubs they wouldn't have time for anything else.

Yep and if the cap fits, they need to own it.

Grand final predictions?

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.

Expelled and results expunged. disgrace

Mayfield will most probably beat Stockton for 5th spot

What’s happened to Azzurri have they folded? No announcements on their socials

I hope not. There are some good blokes at the club and they deserve better than what appears to have happened

gone

They told Newcastle football, we can?t field teams for the rest of the year and we won?t be applying for ZL in 2026. I imagine the club will continue on with All Age and Over 35s.

More interesting is that they haven?t announced how ZL2 will get back to 12 teams.

ZL1
Thornton swap with Croatia
Crabs take Azzuri?s spot

ZL2
No one down from ZL1
Greta swap with Mayfield

Kurri v Mayfield playoff would be exciting. Will probably end up being an expression of interest.

Where are the Grand Finals held at this year?

100%, Myer Park was the best venue for ZL2 & ZL3. Lets see if these other clubs can produce what the Suns did over the last 2 years at Myer on grand final day.

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!
