You can't compare to winning a Grand Final. Packed out ground, whole club there supporting, family and friends coming along to watch. The atmosphere is like nothing else. Even if you go with the attitude "we've already won the minor and secured promotion, this doesn't really matter", the moment you see everyone there, the atmosphere is contagious and you'll feel stupid if you don't try and win. Hell, send a message to NBN teams that you mean business.
A minor/major double in both senior grades would be a superb achievement for the club.
heard from my mate didnt catch game due to playing myself lambton 4-3 over toronto "shitty conditions and rough pitch" would of been a good one to catch with that many goals
That wouldnt be a bad idea?? promote the gf winner
Most Aussies don't care to much for the the best team int he comp. we must be the only country that calls the best team in the comp the "minor premier" ant he team that wins a short round robin comp the "major prmier".
It would interesting to see what coaches would do. All they need to do is get into the finals and make run for the gf.
Any Thoughts. Personally I wouldn't like to see this happen but who knows what they will do I the future.
Ergh. Promote to minor premiers. They've showed consistency throughout the whole year. That's what it takes in NBN, consistency all year or you miss out on semis or end up relegated.
Perhaps locally, our mindset may change to consider the minor trophy the Major Premiershp, and vice versa. imo, if promotion/relegation was introduced between all divisions, I think it would go a long way to changing the mindset.
I blame this mindset on AFL, NRL etc where there is one major competition; No relegation/promotion; And the hype these codes give to their grand finals.
Todays games:
19s: Lambton 1 - Adamstown 3
23s: Adamstown 1 - Maitland 2
1sts: Maitland 0 - Adamstown 2 (two very very very special goals from buds)
Adamstown v Lambton GF by the look of it, great effort by adamstown to probably jump Maitland and Toronto in the pecking order from last year, also to have a good chance to have three grades in the Grand Final, how good would that be.
Todays results
First Grade - Adamstown 1 drew with Maitland 1 - Adamstown win 3 -1 on aggregate and progress to the GF next Sunday
U/23's - Adamstown 1 drew Maitland 1 - Maitland win 3 - 2 on aggregate and progess to the GF next Sunday
U/19's - Adamstown 5 def Lambton 2 - Adamstown win 8 - 3 on aggregate and progess the GF next Sunday.
Happy to stand corrected if the above scorelines are incorrect.
