Embarrassing decision
Embarrassing decision
So the Premiers in every grade across all 3 zones are now disadvantaged by playing Major Semis mid week in front of smaller crowds and reduced revenue. Add in player availability compared to a weekend fixture.
Meanwhile teams 2-5 play in the best time frames on weekends in the sun with larger crowds etc.
Why wasnt one of their original plans of removing 5th place from the finals not implemented instead of this nonsense.
Funny that the team that came 5th is where the boss of Newcastle football son playsOriginally Posted by Zone Insider
Because of Mayfield, any other team in 5th, and it would have went to original plan. It?s an embarrassment IMO.
The coward showed his face to present Croatia the trophy and get his face on bartv. I wonder how many games he went to through-out the season
Well if old mate is correct I would say he?s been to heaps of Mayfield games.
One of the strangest decisions from NF in recent memory. The decision was made a couple of weeks back regarding the rescheduling of the Finals series, clubs were made aware of these changes and now bang just because of the potential for rain today the whole Finals series is turned on it's head and many club's preparations have been put in total disarray.
What a debacle!
Not appropriate
Some would say ?*opponents* are in the bin? being part of a song isn?t either but continue
I hope the Kepabi doesn?t go to waste sitting for a few extra days mate.
Singing a victory song and anonymously calling a bloke a coward aren?t even in the same ball park.
If it flogs down tonight as forecast the association will look brilliant, and if it doesn?t they?ll look like they overreacted.
They made a call. Right or wrong at least they?re trying to be proactive vs reactive, which has to be a good thing
kebapi will be fresh
get a kebap snack pack with the lot if you havent already
you wont be disappointed
Great I just arrived at Meyer Park to find out there’s no games on… checked a Suns post 2 days ago that said they were playing….. won’t see me attend another finals game.
Hahaha.
You really can?t be upset by those lyrics surely? If you are can I highly recommend you completely avoid any commercial radio & stick to Rhema FM to avoid any more outrage.
Also moving the game to the weekend suits Uni more than anyone. Playing midweek on a school night would be infeasible for them.
Today?s heavy rain must have washed the game out.
I guess like everyone else I was surprised by the move more then anything. Personally removing 5th place was never an option, There are some teams that have had their eyes on 5th place for some time. Removing them without playing would have been tough.
The Forecast for Wednesday was always looking bad. So Tuesday/Wednesday finals wouldn't have worked.
Obviously can't move all games to Tuesday night, given some teams would have Firsts and Reserves at different venues.
I would have moved all First grade games and the conference doubleheader to tonight (tuesday). At least get them played, Reserve grade could be moved to Thursday night at grounds that are fit for play after the rain.
I?m sure if you identify yourself to the club they?ll give you a snack pack on the house for your troubles.
The suns had a posted on their FB page that the games had been rescheduled to Saturday as per Nou Camp comment.
No doubt you?ll be missed.
Lucky games were called off tonight. A huge 1mm of rain fell. Would have made fields like mud.
Complete farce, hand in your resignation.
Hindsight vision is always 20/20
