Thankfully Northern saw sense and are playing the Mens & Womens finals as stand alone fixtures on different days this year. Was ridiculous having the mens match as a curtain raiser before the womens last year. Both matches and competitions are prestigious enough to deserve their own day.
Another poor decision by the ref effecting the outcome to the GF,
Go the soft centres
Absolutely shocking call. Ruined what was a good contest. 2 years in a row the ref makes it about them.Originally Posted by ForeverRed
Edgy was in awesome condition makes playing football easier and good to watch a game from
What decision are you taking about, there was so many.
If that bloke is the best ref we have got then we are in serious trouble
Was the final Jaffas goal offside...couldn't see on the angle on BarTV?
As a lower comp player I couldn?t believe how bad the ref was, it made me realise just how bad ours must be in zone league, field looked great
nah.
The penalty decision was a joke. Should be 100 pens next round if strikers can throw themselves at the keeper and go down crying
No idea but the keeper will be having nightmares for weeks letting that one in
Literally cost his team the comp
Agree, was not a penalty. Goalkeeper got to the ball first and was are well within his right to punch the ball out.nah.

With the Women?s Grand final having 2200 and the Men?s 1800 people show up should be a good indication that the time slot and venue was a fail for the Men?s GF.
Absolutely. The pitch looked great at Edgy, but the only problem is that it's in Edgeworth. Far too inaccessible for the majority of people who would want to go to the game. The women's game also pulled that crowd while clashing with 30k next door. Many more would have gone if that game wasn't on.
It's football, not s***er!!
How many people are catching buses and trains to a grand final?
What's wrong with 2-3pm kick off on a Sunday arvo
Worked well 10 years ago when it was the last game of the season for NNSW
All the teams had finished up in all comps
Used to get 4k at Magic Park in those days
4800 at Magic vs Olympic @ Magic Park
Not only the crowd but that but such a well organised day.Why they ever went away from that concept is baffling.In the future id love to see similar days at Jaffas/Darling St/Rosebuds.Hopefully some homework is done before making decisions for next year we should be doing better than 2000 for our premier day.
WNPL crowd figure would be total across the day. Having 5 games would help when you consider number of parents, relatives, friends and other teams that come and watch the younger girls.
How good would it be to have mens Grand Final feature U13 through to 1st grade.
The location isn?t the problem. Having lower division finals and PYL games on the same day as the Grand Final is crazy.
It should be a stand alone final game of the season. Start the season later if needed but ensure that there is no other football on that day.
