No reason for 18 games again. I thought 16 was great. Season drags on otherwise.
8 teams
Play 2 others 3 times (is that correct?)
Do it on ladder position

Thanks for the comment
I’m actually 31, the body is telling me it’s time mate finding it hard to keep fit and get up for each week.
Also factoring in this way I get to go out on my terms rather than being forced out again by the league.
Will no doubt have itchy feet next year but am comfortable with my decision.

How does it drag on? There’s always been 18 rounds. There’s always going to be 18 rounds, so the length of the season doesn’t change at all. It’s just instead of a bye you play. Same as Div 1.
I more meant 16 games. Byes are good especially in division 3. Blokes can go away, get a rest and it’s easier for the clubs $$

Great to see the Turtles ressies make the Granny in season 1. Panton Hill going up to Div 2 next year really does make it anyone's to win.

Im with 10571z on this... Its much easier to manage 16 rounds with breaks at D3 level.

easier for the clubs $$$ short term but how does it help their transition into a higher division which has 18 games????
Well if you jump a division i suppose you’ll just have to renegotiate with players and raise more money regardless . But for every other club who doesn’t go up 16 games and plenty of breaks is great for clubs and players.

Saving $10-12k across a season helps long-term, short-term and volunteer reliance... That's the conservative figure you'd need to raise on top due to 2 extra matches. I can assure you, that profit does not come from 1 extra home match.
Is going up a division without a bank behind you a better option... Actually think having 18 rounds is a huge detriment to clubs at lower divisions on lots of levels including weekly player payments that have a slight advantage when not divided by 18 rounds. The extra $800 a week can be used very wisely (excluding coaches, medics, NFNL fees which could be upwards of an extra $4k dependant of agreements and age groups participating)

The commitment levels are reduced at lower levels, 16 rounds helps with a point of difference for players and admin staff.
From what I see, injures weren’t really an issue until the last 6-7 weeks, they had a healthy list when winning but they still weren’t smashing teams so a few injuries later and then going into the finals missing 6+ older senior players/heads and then playing the prelim with 11 players U19 including 3 U/17 players and to loose by less than 2 goals each game was actually a pretty good effort I’d say and far from a choke.

Who are the 6+ older heads that missed the prelim? I see you had 3-4 guys that had only played under 5 senior games, but the rest of the side played majority seniors. Looking at how young Morangs side was aswell. It is borderline choking

When do they pick the final squad??
Choke or not still a great season by a developing football club.
Looks like someone more in the know has answered your question, no doubt most Div 3 are young, I’m just comparing apple with apples mate and you take 5-6 senior players out of any side at this level and replace them with all young blokes is going to have an impact, hence why I believe it’s no choke and a good effort, kudos to the young fellas and look forward to see them develop together.
Well done to SM, especially after the erratic start to their season, they’ve hit their straps at the right time of the year and have some really good players running around, credit where credit is due and we’ll done to Laurimar also, especially their young fellas (half their side) future looks good.
A bit of positivity never hurt anyone mate

pOpOtAm was all over this from a while back too ... guess he had the first bit right (Desi got speared), obviously missed the mark here, but he should redeem himself with the next Mernda appointment
As the great wordsmith Meatloaf once sang - 2 outa 3 aint bad
There you go ... the mail was good wasn’t it
You cant get them all right but told desi was gone long way out mate . Still wouldnt surprised he be their as off field coach as Tom will be playing still

Panton Hill should be too good for Morang Saturday and should have control of the midfield but you never know what side of the bed south wake up on. PH by 20
