Buds called off Sat games v Olympic in a hurry. lol.
Yes all grass games will be easily off. Azzurri at LCarr so wont play that[/QUOTE]
My good mate at Jaffas has relocated their games against last placed Cooks Hill to sandy Stockton. Why didn’t he do this a couple of weeks ago when they were supposed to host Magic 🤔😉

There isn’t another TD in town who plays the game as well your good mate at Jaffas. From top to bottom, from recruitment to organisation to getting the games played you want to at the right times, he’s light years ahead of the rest. Love him or hate him you’ve got to respect him.
Rosebuds youth weren’t set to play until Sunday. We know it’s going to rain but to call it on Friday after less than torrential fall speaks to perhaps a different agenda.
I love the Buds but the noises from the parents this season suggests things are worse than they have been in many years. Let’s hope things change soon.
Agree. Northern needed to show leadership and call whole round off like they did in round 1. Issue now is that some clubs are willing to get games on and willing to rent fields at LMRFF or move to sand based games where others are happy to take the 1 point. Throw in fact that North Coast will never get washed out causes issues as well.
You simply can't run a points based ladder where some teams are able to play and some aren't.
How can you have a comp which allows some to rent a game at Speers Point to get the points and then have other clubs in the hands of the host who might not fancy playing? It’s a joke.
If one plays at Speers Point on a wet weekend, all play at Speers Point. Start games early, play games late, use the school holidays to catch up. Is it that hard seriously?
Couldn’t agree more with this. Clubs shouldn’t be able to individually book speers for competition games. If one clubs gets one it should be an expectation that all should be booked into the facility. They won’t all get on the same weekend but some teams are having to play games Saturday and Sunday the same weekend to catch up. I mean how does that work for a balanced comp?? Going to be a lot of annoyed people with 1 point washouts this weekend!
For sure, but that shouldn’t stop a few 8 o’clock am and pm school holidays kick offs in the youth comp. Sure it’s tough to organise but isn’t that what Northern are there for? They have people who’s job it is to organise the comp and and manage the venue. Surely they can have a chat? If we are saying it on here I’m hopeful someone is saying it within Northern.
Northern won't provide use of synthetic as will lose income from teams hire costs to train there. If Northern were fair dinkum about using the venue for catch up games, they may have cancelled their revenue generating Women's State Cup and Community State Youth Championships that are using the synthetic fields all next weekend and during holidays or at least had it at end of year.
Northern however took easy way out and made call to not replay wash out games for 18 years and under.
