Picola & District NW 2018

For what grade ?
How would it work when clubs have grades that are the next standard playing at a different venue on the same day .
eg. A grade or Seniors playing at a different venue on the same day as the b grade or seconds ?

seniors cause lets be honest without senior footy there be no footy or netball

Ridiculous... Railton will do his best 2 get who he wants in GF

I honestly can't believe that people are complaining about clubs having most of their teams playing on same day/venue.

In my eyes that's much more preferable than having teams over 4 different venues over 2 different days just so a couple of teams don't have to play on a Sunday.

Some clubs would be stretched thin in terms of trainers/helpers etc if the league didn't try and do this, and grounds would be half empty with supporters spending half the day travelling to follow their clubs teams around the countryside.

Instead of whinging and carrying on, might just worry about winning your first week so you get a week off and have an advantage and control your own fate. the league is doing the best they can to help families not miss out.

A very difficult draw to work out. But lets be honest it needs to be geared around senior football. The senior side is costing clubs anywhere from $70K - $110K, so that needs to be the priority. In saying that, I think the proposed is quite fair. Waaia deserve a home final, they have been undefeated and have earned the right. It will be a very interesting 4 weeks.

If it was a top 6 it wouldn't be an issue.

 

[ark n go]

or extend the season by a week and only have the qualifying or eliminations on each of the first two weeks.

Doesn’t worry me which way it goes mate, I was just throwing up a possible solution to those complaining

Priority , but not at the complete expense.
I'd suggest that grades other than the seniors , are far more profitable for clubs ??

its not about making a profit.its about teams making top 4 not playing on a sunday!

Its about giving up a little to help many others. Go tell ya netballers or u14's they aren't important and see how you get on.

This finals program really sums up the pdfl’s last 18 months, a shambles.
How can two sides who finished top four be denied a Saturday final let alone a home final?? The league saying they’re shifting them to accommodate clubs is a joke, as Picola and deni have 2 other football sides on the Saturday and I’m sure Katunga would not mind playing Sunday as their reserve side is also playing as they both finished 8th

Would not have been done to avoid a club having their seniors and a grade playing at different venues on the same day.
Correct call in accomodating clubs and not sure how anyone could think otherwise.

Most involved in a community sporting club are considerate of others.
Including at the club you are involved.

 

[dogs1703]

im actually one of the parents that would have to go to to 2 grounds in one day and it wouldnt of worried me.

Would have if it was played at the same time, rather than 4 hrs apart or at least most would .

Do we have to pay twice to attend two venues on the same day

 

[surprisepackage]

Right or wrong I gues the best thing to do now is just get on with it start getting into the finals spirit. Once finals is done then the league and clubs can debate if it was right or wrong call

Great question - the answer is??? anyone?

 

[mixed emotions]

Passouts available i thought to go from one to other at gate for that day only

"The Roar Is Back" Would love your opinion on the umpires of the thirds game at Waaia. Hearing the whistle far too often for the game to flow

Didn't watch the game, but the games I seen today I thought were all well umpired.

You must have a stunt double. Based on twitter I suspect you were at yarroweyah today. Heard they had a massive crowd in which is fantastic

 

[browntown]

See by the SF draw on website all Rennie football teams are off to Mathoura when they are hosting the previous day - interesting to see if that changes or not
