Re: Campbelltown v Olympic

Adelaide United’s GK last year had a different number to the team sheet, we should have reported that, I reckon those 3 points would have had us equal top? :lol:

Re: $1400 junior fees for 2019

You'll probably find clubs with a synthetic pitch will be including a 'repair fee' into rego's so in 7 or 8 years they have the funds to relay the surface.

PM I reckon you're on the money. Most of the clubs and officials are sensible and make changes on the night. Those that want to make an issue out of it are being belligerent and unsportsmanlike.

Re: Round 18

It’s simple, teams register their home, away & 2 GK kits with the Ffsa at the beginning of the season.

Ffsa allocated kits to be worn by all, including officials, with the fixtures so it’s clear and put in place from the beginning of the season.

Thanks for clarifying it however, you've gone into a lot of detail in your response that I didn't think of. All due respect, far too analytical i.e.size of pitch, canteen takings, proximity of spectators etc. etc.

Brahma lodge vs the downs was an excellent game. Two of the best teams the league has seen. Mullen was brilliant for brahma, he set the second half on fire. In my eyes too good for the level he’s playing at! Also billy for downs earned his team the draw as a Super sub. Won’t be missing this fixture...

Entertaining game, good atmosphere, good to see a striker, Mick Mullen choose to stay on his feet & score after being kicked in the penalty area, easy option would have been to hit the deck, but respect for staying up, glad it resulted in a goal for him.

Re: Player movements before June cut off

There needs to be an incentive for W league & NTC players to return to their club of origin.

PPS can work but needs to be stricter than the men’s one, or clubs have limited transfers to play with each window, ie can only replace departing players ect
