Is this just Olympics way of making excuses for not being able to make let alone win a Grand Final in reserve grade for the 3rd year running??

I don't think anyone from uni is saying that noone from reserve grade played first grade at any point, in fact the opposite I think with saying they had huge availability issues. But more that noone from ressies featured heavily in 1sts and anyone that played both was a ressies guy playing up not vice versa.
Yep American goal keeper. Great keeper, but only played 2, maybe 3 games for 1st grade. I think one of those games he played both grades entirely as we were short in 1st grade. Uni coach could confirm the exact number of games. Rest of the year he was either playing Res grade or back in the states on holidays.
But yep no-one could argue he was a "first grader" dropped to play reserve grade semis.

Hi All,
With the amalgamation of ZPL eagles and ZL2 eagles we will be running a quasi-third grade side in an AA competition. Are any others doing this?
We are looking to play these matches before L2 home game kickoffs.
If any other clubs are doing something similar (or who have a current AA side that would be willing to hop on board) let me know and we can put in a request for them to be grouped in the same AA comp.
This means more revenue, and helps clubs prepare for life in L1 if they win promotion.
Unreal idea. Good luck with it pal.
OK
Dudley zl3 floated idea a few years ago of single grade zl4. Basically for teams in zl2 and zl3 to have option of a third grade. Had some support from some clubs but not enough to get over the line.
Games to be played before reserve grade and match where possible with other grades. Higher grades could have entered 4th grade in competition, creates more grades, revenue and greater club atmosphere. It also gives opportunities for clubs in zl2 to compete against zl3 clubs.
Probably too late for season 2017, but possibly an option for 2016???
Probably a little too late for 2016 too mate
This AA team will run regardless - its about being loyal to our players, trying to fit those from ZPL who didnt make NL1/didnt leave, in with a full ZL2 squad. They will train with the squad (and most will be dual rego'd) and they will play before res on home games.
More asking to see if any other clubs are doing the same thing, or if they are interested in doing it etc. Some clubs would benefit from an extra game on ZL2 day, it means 2 squads on the tins watching first grade..
Looking at clubs like Kahibah in particular, i know theyve got a lot of AA teams, surely there would be one interested etc. Maryland, Uni, the bay etc.
Im happy to do the leg work, even 1 club interested means we keep the boys together for an extra fixture per year etc
Obviously, you know what I mean.
The problem you face is Saturday fixtures.
Some club struggle already to get AA games to kick-off at the time you are proposing, added to that the scheduling of referees and the Zone League Board asking ZL2 and ZL3 clubs to move fixtures to Sunday.
Then the problem you face with Sunday fixtures is that there are no AA comps on a Sunday.
I'm not saying it's impossible but it would be a logistical nightmare.
All our home ZL2 (and 90% of away) fixtures were Saturdays last year? Or are you meaning that there will be no room?
I guess its easier for us, normally theres nobody on at Alder Park before ZL2 as AA play over at Novocastrian 90% of the time.
I know personally we would have no issue scheduling it (and hopefully it would help refs for us as theyd have 3 games instead of 2!)
Cant comment on other clubs but i remember watching AA before us when we played at Kahibah in L3, Edgy in L3, Westlakes in L2 for sure (cant remember others). There was definitely nobody before us at Mussy, Olympic, Simba, Wallsend, Medowie, Maryland, and I know some of those clubs have a few AA sides that could fill that gap (if willing)
Just an idea anyway, if any other ZL2 outfits wanted to up their training attendance and revenue by attaching a ZL2AA side to their squad. We will be doing it.
It's a great idea and as you've said, most Zone League clubs play Saturdays anyways. Sunday games are few & far between nowadays - the way it should be!!
OK
Would not have any effect on refs I believe, as refs for the AA game would come from a different association to the refs for the ZL games
