    Could work but I disagree on putting win at all costs pressure on juniors, imagine telling an u13 team if they don’t win today then the clubs going down, some pressure

    Welcome to life. FNSW doesn’t include 13s in the club championship, youth and senior are seperated and senior Pro/rel is decided by first grade position

    There’s just no consequences for poor performance.
    And performance can cover a range of aspects of operating a club.

    Correct me if I’m wrong, but I seem to remember a large motivating factor for “protecting” the NPL clubs in top division with no relegation originally was so there could be focus on developing instead of spending money on players to buy survival. Whether it was putting a development program for younger ages, upgrading facilities, buying better training equipment etc

    How many clubs have improved their facilities over the last, what, 6 years?

    Pretty sure I remember Weston wrote a year off cause it didn’t mean anything. Came last from memory. And then the year after, there was going to be a “review of criteria and new applications” they recruited again and did well. Not bagging Weston, just an example.

    What are the downfalls to promotion/relegation?

    And I agree there should be a club championship style system for it.
    It’s heavily weighted on first grade results, but a strong reserves and 18s or whatever it is this week, can save a club.
    Something like:
    1st: 8 for win, 4 for draw
    Reserves: 4 for win, 2 for draw
    18s: 2 for win, 1 for draw

    Think that’s fair. Very little pressure on 18s imo. Shame on any committee that would rely or pressure the 18s to achieve results to “save the club”.

    I’d even be happy to give promoted clubs a year of safety to get their affairs in order, but that’a being generous.


    I heard they were supposed to “re-assess” NPL licenses at the end of the year for prospective clubs. I think if any NEWFM clubs meet criteria, give them a license. If they win, send them up. Bring somebody down. If a club without a license wins, no change.

    100% correct Brem. That was the publicised reason re pro/rel and I’d say player payments just increased because of it with very little investment if any in facilities. Valentine perfect example of this nil investment and brought a heap of players this season 6 or 7 to run 8th. Seriously. Governance by Northern and management of this whole situation in recent years has been appalling.
    Also agree with your model shouldn’t be just about first grade because the above will keep happening.

    In all fairness to Valo why would they invest in facilities knowing that it will all be bulldozed and replaced in the near future?
    Comparing their grass condition on the field to the rest of the comp they did very well to maintain its condition considering how bad the drainage is there. A lot of other teams fields were appalling by the end.

    did he mention Southy, i dont think so.
    How about we put it in simple terms to you, without promotion and relegation the comp is a joke......as always Northern do what they like, always have, always will.

    Either promotion happens between the two comps, new lambton up to NPL ... Lakes to Newfm. OR .... New Lambton v Lakes at NL1 home ground ( Not NPL park ) the winner is in NPL
    2020 example

    Its a miraculous recovery from the Azzurri game a month ago where the pitch was hard as a rock and the field was a dust bowl.
    Kudos to the ground staff.

    They shouldn’t. And he didn’t say that.


    They could be offered an NPL license though, along with other clubs in NEWFM if deemed to meet criteria.
    The license (providing it doesn’t end up with an NPL1/2) would enable a club to be promoted if they win NEW FM. Which would give clubs something to work towards. Atm both competitions are stagnant with the exception of some who are constantly aiming for FFA cup success at the next level

    They do have the facilities as proven when in the NPL previously, better or equal to olympic, much better then valentine and have done minor improvements since being relegated, new lights etc, when was the last time lakes or Azzurri’s facilities had improvement, I’d say never, also made two grand finals and several final appearances whilst in the NPL, a win loss ratio lakes, valentine and Adamstown would die for.
