2025 Zone League 1

[Undertaker]

And now miraculously all those players are now available for two matches to be played tonight?

Maybe and just maybe people go on holidays the long weekend?? Poor planning yes but have seen it happen in NL1 too

I heard they had 5 players between the 2 Grades.

I heard players at another club knew about the forfeit before the Suns did. If that?s the case it?s a little off. The Suns are disadvantaged big time to drive up the GD and Croatia and Kotara benefit as they already ran up a score against Azzurri and in a comp that could come to goal difference that?s average.
They should be removed and all previous results 3-0 and future results 3-0

Hahah dumbest idea I?ve seen.

Hahah dumbest idea I?ve seen.

Why is it dumb. If the club is such a joke they can?t field a first grade side they should be removed. It would hard to remember the last time a club forfeited a first grade game if ever. If they are such a shambles kick them out and back to the bottom of the pile for them

Yeah you are right. Now tell me out of the other 11 clubs in the league how many of their teams forfeited over the weekend? Or maybe it is only Azzurris players that go away in mass numbers.

It’s not a dumb idea at all. The integrity of the competition has taken a massive hit and the best solution is to get rid of the clowns that have caused it.

Also don’t forget the other clubs who are in a relegation scrap with Azzurri. The likes of Westlakes now have to back up just days later to play again. Meanwhile Azzurri go into their midweek match recharged and the Suns are also fresh for their fixture against the wildcats.

Westlakes had 6 first graders out vs Cardiff too and managed to use all age players in ressies to push players up

Hearing the powers that be held an emergency meeting with all parties.
Fine incoming in line with the rules and regs.

Apparently a email was sent to clubs so others may know more.

I don?t think Kotara have played Azzuri yet, but it?s a valid point nonetheless

[Parochial Supporter]

Azzurri look to have plenty of players tonight, by the team lists on Facebook page

So 30 players today and less than 11 on Saturday. I call bullshit

[ForeverRed]

Who cares, move on

[MCG_1997]

Any updates on tonight's catch up games?

[Zonal Marking]

Who cares, move on

The integrity of the competition has been affected. That probably does not mean anything to you but it is not your call to just dismiss it.

[Gelato]

Suns vs Westlakes
First 4-1
Res 3-1

[Zone Insider]

Kotara 5-1 Azzurri

Why didn?t they put 15 past them?

Better change it to 3-0 to be fair

Hahahahhaa

Hahahahhaa

Suns couldn?t put more than 4 past Westlakes and their facebook said 1-0 at HT? Westlakes have copped 9 twice and 8 once this season? Why didn?t Suns put more past them? Too busy crying over Azzurri. Tonight proved they wouldn?t have got the 10 they wanted

Let's not exaggerate here

An emergency meeting held, to simply follow the rules and regulations.

And miraculously now all those players are suddenly available again for two matches to be played tonight? Just 3 days later

Everyone is back home by Tuesday night

I?ve played against a few of their 35s teams
They would easily beat their ressies team
There?s some quality there compared to what normally gets put out for them

Even if they are better there are reasons people choose to go to AA and O35s and not zone. Less training, less games, and no playing on a long weekend.

Tell me the last time a first grade team forfeited a match in this competition or previous editions of ZL1?
