The lost revenue for a home game is huge for any club
Speaking with players from a few diff clubs they want to play as much footy as they can especially after last year playing half a season
I think the APFL are leaning to a 14 game permanent system moving forward which would be ridiculous imo
I agree with this. Should have played the season out and have a Saturday Sunday finals or just have 1st and 2nd on same day at 2 different grounds (close together like Av and Virginia or long plains and mallala)
A lot of kids especially both football and netball just want to play footy, now they won't be able to get as much development into half the teams that don't make finals.
Its kinda like they are preparing to make arrangements for something that doesn't exist yet.
But, whatever decision they made they would have copped some flak for, but I think the overall priority should have been to get the most amount of football and netball into the most amount of people possible.
Seriously it is a two horse race Mallala v Two Wells... Balaklava are starting to get their mojo happening and capable of a surprise upset , Angle Vale are 10 goals behind those sides on a good day, let the other clubs play out their rest of the minor round games and then have 1v4 2v3 system.
This will mean
Mallala v Angle Vale ( 1v 4)
Two Wells v Balaklava ( 2v 3)... both dominant sides throughout the year will go through to Grand Final, no disrespect to Angle Vale and Balaklava but Mallala and Two Wells are far superior.. too much talent all over the park.
Minor Round : August 7th 14th 21st 28th
Finals: Sept 4th knock out finals
Grand Final 11th
Allows the struggling clubs to play out the rest of the year.. seems a shame that in 2 weeks no more football and 4 weeks of finals is a bit boring know that at the end result will be yes : Mallala v Two Wells Grand Final
