Have to say no one saw this coming in the prediction thread!

Not overly thrilled with the proposed Sunday game schedule

Div 2 women's football getting prime time in the main event. Please .

Let's put the C4 GF on at 2pm and Div 1 at 10.15am

I also feel PAC would have sucked up having their GFs split from their A prelim

[LaughingKookaburra]

Probably avoid a few dickheads who cause trouble because its too far to travel I spose.

Can you pull some strings and get a better time for us? Or does the SAAFL really hate us that much. I don't understand how we are meant to play our GF 5 hours earlier than when we usually play. Absurd!

Might as well get your head around it early and start preparing. Same thing happened to our Cs last year and it twas a beautify day. I would suggest that if this is final schedule then it is extremely unlikely to change.

[bulldogs]

shocking programming. Why are teams playing at 9am when all year they are playing at 12 or 2 just a joke. Also div3 and 4 same venue another joke.

The world doesn't revolve around PNU mate and our convenience is a factor but is not the decisive one.

No conspiracy. Just looking at the list of games and limited venues shows you that it's impossible to make everyone happy. I know I'll be making the friendly suggestion for the future to reevaluate the commitment to women's football.

As a GGFC player who isn't playing in any of our 3 GFs this weekend I'm pretty happy ill be able to get to them all, not ideal for 9am start for the B grade but this was decided at least a week or so back so it's been common knowledge for a bit now - mrs Tex will need to put line through my name for a couple of days.

I think you will find there was more venues available - Broadview, Tea Tree Gully, not sure if any other clubs wanted a Grand final.

Top notch call DJ. Broadies at 2.30 Sunday, I will call Rocket, you call Kernahan. Venue changed

The Friday night slot is a ripper for spectators and supporters. Not as sure if it is for players

I think you'll find PNU AND TTG ate ahead there at that time on Sunday. ( in the under 16 reds that is)

At 3 however it would hypothetically prove incredibly convenient for both clubs if Broad view were willing

[Footy Chick]

both teams agreed to play Friday night, so clearly they're happy with it.

Not necessarily the correct inference.

Some times these can be a bit like a magic show. You know when the magician offers you any card and you end up with the one the magician wants you to have? It can be a similar feeling

[Yank Man]

So here's a serious question. During the finals home clubs buy their finals. Why can't clubs who are NOT participating in finals submit a request to host a final. I'm talking clubs without enclosure like Mitchell Park, arguably the best deck in the league, and pay let's say $1000k which is the norm to let clubs enjoy their day. Or is it really about the league collecting the big ones because clubs have worked hard to get there and it's now paytime. Sorry but I thought we were amateurs.

The country clubs get it right, they allocate grounds for finals and the clubs share in the $$$$. No wonder they continually steal players for big bucks.

I know our C grade was asked if we wanted to play Friday night at Thebby but had to say no due to the availability of a few players.

If both PNU and TTG agreed to play at 3pm at Broadview (assuming they are happy to host) it is a possibly the league would accomadate this?

They offered all clubs the opportunity to tender for home neutral grand finals this year.

Not enough clubs were willing to play ball.

Mitchell Park had the opportunity to tender (my guess is $1,000 wouldn't have done the job though)

You're kidding right? 18's games have been on Sunday at 10am, 12 and 2pm for at least 6/7 years.

12 or 2 sound good
