You need to calm down and grow up, whinging on a forum will do nothing. If anything Kotara should be happy as now they can drop all their first graders into ressies for the catch up like they have done all year.
Personally I dont think suns care nor want to be promoted.
Ideal situation, 2nd spot and winning the GF.
like Mr Beautiful, just a football enthusiast, interested in the assumptions and innuendo of 3rd division communiry pub soccer.
Suns definitely would love to win promotion
Croatia 1-0 over Kotara in a very tight match. Both teams hit the post or bar several times.
Deflected shot left Kotara GK with no chance and that goal was the difference between the teams
Heard Kotara had the better of it and were unlucky.
Croatia not at their best past few weeks but got the points still. That?s what good teams do so credit to them.
A draw would have been a fair reflection of the match imho, but yeah good teams find a way to win and they have proven their quality a few times now.
LMRFF really isn?t designed with spectators in mind. I can?t think of a worse ground in the comp to watch a game.
With Daniel McBreen signing for top of the table team Croudace Bay Crabs (ZL2), they are surely getting promoted next season.
I?ve watched them play and imo they are better than 2/3 of ZL1 comp. Clubs like Olympic, Cardiff, etc. won?t want them in the comp as they will definitely force them out of the top half of the table towards a relegation scrap.
Promoted yes but don?t under estimate the jump.
Cell?s comment is controversial yet correct.
Furthermore, Croatia proving it?s not much of a jump. 10-2 aggregate against the 2024 GF winners, Suns haven?t been the same since the 6-0 trouncing.
Croudace Bay will dispose of the aging mid table teams in 2026.
I believe the Crabs will be the next Azzurri. The club hasnt enough community support or longevity to create substantial backing over the long term.
They might stay in ZL1 for a few years at best for mine. They do have the future to turn this prediction around!!
Considering they were originally Azzurri this could happen .
This is why they need to go 2 up 2 down for next 3 years to sort it out quicker.
Norths, Southern, Bolwarra and Cooks would comfortably beat Westlakes, Azzuri, Stockton and Warner's Bay.
For the next 3 years we are going to see promoted teams from ZL2 make ZL1 finals first year up.
Stockton going up last year was an outlier, I think everyone knew they were not ready.
The same Warners Bay that recently beat Kotara and Mayfield? The same Warners Nay that was in the GF two seasons ago and still has essentially the same team?
Righto
I think to lump Warners Bay with Westlakes, Stocko and Azzurri is tough school.
I think Crabs and Croatia are in the same boat that as new clubs they are having excellent success but can they survive the long term.
The issues I could see would be both have excellent playing rosters but what happens when the rosters start to turn over. With no juniors it can make that harder than a club with juniors.
Croatia also need a home venue. Bero isn?t sustainable.
Both these clubs being successful is great for the comp as they add another strong club higher up and makes for more competitive games.
We saw putting up 2 teams doesn?t work. Stockton have struggled, Minmi and Westlakes came up as a 2 and that hasn?t been a huge success.
I
Well said Hacker,
Everyone in ZL2 knew that all of Stockton's NPL players would jump ship if they were promoted. They all were just glory hunters and viruses for Stockton. Stockton have done very well to essentially rebuild from scratch and hopefully avoid relegation. Stockton's biggest strength as a club is their passion and community commitment that will keep them in ZL1/ZL2 for a long time.
Be realistic, only Norths and Crabs would be battling mid-table onwards. Southern, Bolwarra and Cookers would be in and around that relegation battle. The gap between ZL1 and ZL2 has seemed to lose a lot of merit over the last couple of years.
Well put Cell.
I feel for Cardiff not only will the games get harder for them next season but with South Cardiff being relegated from new fm we might see players leave to the Gunners. This was meant to be a fairytale season for the tigers at the start of this year.

Who and where did these so called NPL players go to ? The only one i know that is still playing is Tom Smart who went to adamstown
Your whole post is nonsense but in particular what a terrible take on Warners Bay. Consistency has been a bit of a problem but aside from a tough mid week match against Croatia I dont think there have been too many losses where the guys werent in a tight contest and the opposition could say they came away with an easy 3 points.
