Great call from Newcastle football
Great call from Newcastle football
So it turns out the games yesterday could have been played with no issue.Originally Posted by Richardarlison
Today?s games are dubious with rain forecast to continue all day.
Three possible scenarios were on the table when the decision was made:
1. NO games playable
2. ALL games playable
3. Tuesday games playable, Wednesday not playable
Of the three, what would have been the worst outcome?
Personally, I think when the opportunity was there last night to play games, then you need to play. From Sunday, The rain was forecast to only arrive late Tuesday night, which is what happened.
Rain has passed, perfect conditions for football tonight
Couldnt they have had LMRFF on standby if needed with 3rds kicking off at 2am
Disregarding the comment about late kickoff time, having LMRFF as an option makes plenty of sense
LMRFF was no chance as NPL clubs kept their bookings for PYL training.
Correct if me I?m wrong but Suns, Kotara, Uni and Mayfield did not play over the weekend?
No reason at all why first grade fixtures were not played Sunday, Monday or last night when the top 5 was already known.
Zone finals take priority over PYL training. Delusional if you think otherwise.
Obviously you know zero about how Northern operate.
Next week it will be free as PYL season will be over.
PYL is a Northern comp. Zone League isn?t.
That may be a factor
Hearing the suns proposed a lucrative deal to host all grand finals on the same day at Myer park however it was turned down. Any more info on this speculation?
What exactly is a "proposed lucrative deal"?
Correct
lol what?? haha
All 3 zone league gfs on the same day on 2 fields
Where do you come up with this stuff
For the record we never asked for ZL1

There should have been an 11th hour decision made on both days, considering how condensed the final series has become. The prematurity of the decision was quite extraordinary.
Something interesting was brought to my attention yesterday. One of the more remarkable feats in recent zone league history.
The Kahibah team competing in the conference league (formerly known as 3rd grade) after an average start to the season followed by horrendous weather accumulated in quite a few catch up matches and impressively they ended the season on a 5-6 match winning streak which included playing about 5 matches in 9 days and winning them all to sneak into the finals.
Interesting that this turn in form appeared to kick in just after Kahibah 1st grade secured promotion to NPL next season. It must have been really inspiring for the Kahibah third graders having their new fm comrades able to attend matches and passionately cheer them on from the sidelines.
This is interesting, I also seen a Garden suburbs Firsr grader with a quick backup score a hatrick for their conference league team 2 days after playing first grade and they were happy to post about it on their social media. It makes you wonder this time of year just what could happen.
Just out of pure curiosity do we have the eligibility for finals outline? It makes you wonder what might happen in the finals series especially with clubs that only have teams in the finals for the lower grades?
Never let the facts get in the way of a whinge. We all know exactly what you are inferring, and you are a pathetic grub for doing so. My son plays in that team and every player that has taken the park is registered and eligible. They have even used u16 community kids at various stages because of work commitments. Nearly every one of them either played first or ressies over the last few years for Kahibah and dropped back to conference league because of work. As those senior teams have been strong for a number of years it is no surprise that when all are available they are good.

Teams stacking to ensure a lower grade can make finals? Fork found in kitchen etc
Jaliens gives me the horn
Two comments here suggesting stacking to make finals. I guess some times it happens and some times it just looks that way. Just had a look through the Suburbs conference league results and the team scored three or more in their last game and back in June (11 games ago) and a couple of times prior. So I assume that you are talking about their last game of the season when they beat Kurri 5-1. They ended the season in 6th place and two wins out of the finals, so doubt it is what you are suggesting.
