Jaffas too good on the day. Same with Azzurri today. Weston were a little underwhelming from what I had seen from them this year. Big game Magic v Azzurri next weekend
Magic need to bolster squad next year, desperately need an experienced holding midfielder.Originally Posted by Devon Sangas
What a long finals series!!!
Top 4, H/A semis and a 1 off GF...would make things a lot more stream lined
Agreed, or just the classic major/minor semi format.

Rumour has it they have a former international (Maso player) on the radar.
Contradicting herald article yesterday, 2 days ago the herald reported the young Magic keeper was being mentored by Ben McNamara, in yesterdays herald the keeper himself credits Clint Gosling for his good form. Someone is telling porkies.
Has NNSW given any real reason why they have switched to a night GF this year and changed the format yet again to only mens 1st and reserves?I'll never understand why they changed it from a day grand final with 3 grades.The mix of supporters from all clubs as well as loads of youth players supporting the seniors made those days unreal.
Two grades are simple, the 18s are part of the PYL and not NPL, the PYL season hasn't even finished yet.
Don't see any reason why youth players (even down to the club's U9 players) can't come to the grand final.
I was meaning adding womens to the day like last year,im aware of the 18s being part of youth.Dragging kids home from Edgy close to 9pm doesnt sound like fun.And before anyone jumps in I understand plenty of people come from Edgy to GF's in the city thats why the kickoff time was my issue and not the location.For the work Edgy has done to their ground plus their success over the last few years Im glad they are getting the GF there.The whole structure of the GF has changed quite often over the last few years thats why I was wondering if there was any reason for now changing it again.
Maybe it is because the PYL hasn't finished and will be playing on that day. They decided put the GF on at night to allow those players to go and watch or maybe some 18's could be required on the bench after their game.
Agree the grand final days of yesteryear were a great time.
I generally feel gamedays were better with 18s, reserve and first grade. Usually a healthy crowd builds over the day.
Ditto for the grand final. Sunny Sunday at Magic Park, some great memories. The lesser grades celebrating or drowning their sorrows.
Plenty of people on here complained about grand finals for the "lesser" grades being held at NPL grounds. Seems Northern can't make everyone happy
Who wants to go out to Edgeworth to watch grand finals? They've made it a night game which takes the family friendliness out of it.
So now it's a night time slot on a Saturday, perfect to enjoy some beers right? But wait, lets take it where it's really hard for the majority of people to get to without driving..
It's football, not s***er!!
Personally I think the first team to qualify (i.e. who wins Semi Final-1) should always get first right to host if they are able to. This year that would mean Arthur Edden
Minor Premier should get to host the gf. So it would still be at Arthur Edden
No issues with who is hosting. Just think they have got the men's and women's the wrong way around. Women's should be Saturday at Magic followed by the men's on Sunday afternoon at Edgeworth.
Especially with the RL on at the stadium at 4pm.
going to be hectic around Magic Park Sunday arvo
Certainly won't be hectic around the canteen with $8 cans of mid strength beer.
Wth does that matter?
