Surely Swansea FC has to get a look in before Azzurri, they won the 2019 GF and currently they are top of the 2020 table in 1sts and 2nds.

That’s what 2nd division needs. Belswans and Swansea in the same comp be a little seriousQuote:

Would love to get peoples thoughts on this.
Cooks Hill took the precaution on Thursday to call all games off - too many teams were going to have to pull out and too many people involved in the club were exposed or potentially exposed
playing any game under those conditions was not feasible
I imagine theres folks in Azzurri who feel differently but two games out of nearly a hundred doesn't make a difference to the decision making
Oh don't get me wrong we understand the decision making process behind CHill and very much respect that they did so.Quote:

if anyone pulls out for reasons related to Covid then it's a 1-1 draw
no one is stupid or unethical enough to do that to throw a game - plus its counter productive - we only get 14 games, pulling out means you miss out entirely
I’m not bagging out CHill at all. Nor am I suggesting they did that (that would be ridiculous).Quote:

Without naming teams in our all age comp, one pulled out last weekend due to COVID reasons and it was put up on the website as a 1-1 draw immediately..Quote:

Unless you're playing senior football.Quote:

Yeah stitched up :rof: Apologies to Newy Football, love your work gang

with no finals you could potentially miss out on the premiership simply because you played less games than the team in front of you
Because it's junior football and we're less immune to covid than our senior footballing counterparts.
Because the federation don’t see it as a serious premiership this year they just wanted rego moneyQuote:

You know what, there are only 4 teams and its a bit of fun, giving those who otherwise would not have played. I don't think anyone is taking the 3rds games that seriously anyway.Quote:

You should look at the lower divisions where 3rds play reggies in some games, a bit strange but hey they are getting a game.
In the end if you don't like the comp, how its run or anything else about it, just disappear, as i and many others are sick of the keyboard warriors on this page and other pages telling all how good they are, how wrongs things are, what a joke the federation is,
(side note its the not the federation who runs the comp we are in, its Zone league or community as its being known as now, run by Newcastle, Macquarie, Hunter Valley Associations) but i am sure you all knew that.
If you could better in running a comp in the mad days we are having stand up, be a man and tell us how you would/could do it better or refer back to my other point and just piss off.
cheers have a good weekend.
Azzurri v Cardiff at Cardiff rained out. Cardiff is soaked so had to happen
1-1 draws all round
Is covid all good this weekend? 😂
I don’t think many grades are taking it serious and in lower divisions Reggie’s playing 3rds is mind blowing. Clubs will take it serious if it was finals and make up games for washouts so it’s even.Quote:

Why can’t people disagree with the way a comps run or the way a federation /association is run? Feedback should be encouraged and welcomed
Suns v Swansea
Firsts 4-3
Ressies 0-4
All age v Bellbird
3-2

Good result for the suns. Swansea were undefeated for over a year from memoryQuote:

Would other clubs be interested in an unofficial finals series at the end of the season?
If someone breaks their leg are you paying their insurance. Playing with fire cause you will have no refs etc.Quote:

So you would have to pay another lot of rego to cover an unofficial semi final series that would not be recognised by anyone anyway?Quote:

Excluding ground use and the argument “it hasn’t been done”.
Feel like most clubs and players will be keen to just put this season behind them as a write off. Good year to make some $$ off summer 6s, expect a lot of people to be interested in extending their season.
