One can only hope.
Been told that for rnd 3 there will be 2 pots. 8 NPL will be drawn against each other and the 1 remaining will go into the other pot with NEWFM/ZL teams.
Meaning that after round 4 there should be 3 NPL and 3 NEWFM/ZL teams left to make up the Southern part of the long weekend playoffs????
Is this right??? Does this sound right???
This is a section from the English FA Cup draw.
"The first six rounds are the Qualifying Competition, from which 32 teams progress to the first round of the Competition Proper, meeting the first of the 92 professional teams"
I thought we did this a couple of years ago so to speak and it went fine.
Cmon Nnsw do something right for once!!!
Love this comment. Now say it with me boys, " I do believe in fairies, i do , i do ".
Weren't people complaining when they did a "rigged" draw that Guarantees a groups (zone leagues) progress?
Can somebody disclose the prize money for various rounds?
$0.00, if you happen to make it to the final 32, re, where magic and edgeworth did last year and happen to win its worth $1600 and accumulated from there
Do they get a share of the gate takings ForeverRed. Sure i heard Edgeworth made big money out of their game with Melbourne City
Only about $30 big ones
That doesn't sound right. If there are 16 teams left then by the way you have described it then after this round there would be 8 winners. How do they eliminate 2 to get to the 6 spots. The only way I can see them doing it is NPL there are 4 games and a bye and in Lower League there are 3 games and a bye which if they continue as two separate pots they get the 3 NPL sides and 3 Lower league sides for the final 6.
It seems stupid but with Northern anything is possible.
For the NPL side of the draw there are 9 teams left, so 1 side will get the bye and the other 8 will play cutting it down to 5 NPL sides. Then they will have 4 teams play off for 2 spots and the other team will get the bye into the quarter final weekend. Whichever way you look at it Magic will receive a bye in one of the next 2 rounds. Not sure how they will work the other side of the draw
There are 7 sides in the other half so it would be similar with 1 team having a bye and 3 games giving 4 teams to contest the next round which would give 2 lower division sides in the final 6 and 4 NPL.
The NNSW website says it will be 3 NPL sides and 3 NEWFM or ZONE LEAGUE teams making up the last 6
I can't keep up with this circus.
So while Jaffas or azzuri or heaven forbid magic might have to stay at home, our region is represented by possibly Belswans, Jesmond or Singleton instead ???
This is correct. So at the quarter final stage at the HOME OF FOOTBALL at speers point , the final qualifying stage to go into the main draw on foxtel we will be represented by
3 NPL CLUBS
3 NEWFM / ZONE LEAGUE CLUBS
2 NORTH COAST TEAMS
So the list could end up
WESTON
JAFFAS
ADAMSTOWN
WEST WALLSEND
BELSWANS
THORNTON
TAM WORTH UNITED
COFFS FC
No disrespect to some of the above clubs,but surely the best teams in our region should be representing NNSW on a national stage. Not some contrived draw to make everyone feel warm and fuzzy. Imagine if the above list was to take place and everyone's beloved clubs like MAGIC,EDGEWORTH and OLYMPIC didn't make it ti the last 8 because NNSW wanted to keep their publicity machine rolling. Learn to conduct a proper draw NNSW and stop the rot. Has anyone else read the 442 review of our second round. The author seems in complete shock at scores of 20-0 and 17-0. We are again a laughing stock. Hats off to northern again.
One of the Northern qualifiers will be from these 4:
South Armidale FC (qualified last year), North Armidale Utd, Wallis Lake FC, Forster Tuncurry Tigers FC
Seriously how complicated is it to throw 16 teams all in one pot and randomly draw 8 games?
easiest of the lot id say
If they were the best they would win their games. I know some clubs are getting the easy path through but those clubs having to go the hard way needs to prove they are the best and win their earlier games.
So what , just put your named 3 teams in the final series now ?
A draw should be a draw . In the hat you go and you get who you get .
If the aforementioned 3 get drawn together then that's the draw .
We are not NPL Victoria or Sydney or NPL QLD and thus we are going to get scorelines that presented themselves this weekend .
I do think though that as a region and with the population that is the size of a suburb in some of these states that we do not so bad .
Some people may need to take a step back and realise what we are and what we are not and numbers of people that play our sport in our area will always dictate the depth of quality teams we will have and thus 20-0 and 17-0 is always going to happen in these early rounds of our FFA cup qualifying rounds .
