SNFL Div 3 discussion 2024

What is with the messed up fixture? Teams playing teams a second time before playing everyone atleast once. Teams playing at another teams ground twice before getting the alternate home game. Teams getting stretches of up to 3 home or away games in a row. Surely couldn’t be that hard to get it right from the start.

You wouldn’t think so. But I think Ashwood had some issues with ground availability early in the season? Potentially threw off a lot of fixturing. Having Lyndhurst vs CPL and Narre vs Black Rock for the first time in Round 9 is weird, but it also ends up balanced by the end of the year eventually.

Also means Prime Train at NS is straight off the bye, doubt that played into it though

for sure, it's a real mess this season
 
Any surprises from the weekend?
Well except Narre South V Heatherton
I assume you mean the margin?
Believe Narre are missing half their team again through injury? Some of their best in recent weeks not listed in either side

Will be interesting to see how they go with Prime Train next weekend
 
So they should. People forget they were in Div 2 a couple of years ago before they cried poor to the league and asked to come down.
add in they spending the salary cap again.
probably double any other club is in div 4.

from all reports they would be top 4 in div 3 this year
 
Yes still weak as p*ss, many clubs have had horrendous seasons and toughed it out. No respect for clubs like this!
Almost like there's an unwritten law that a team isn't allowed to win too much. Lets not gloss over the fact that they didn't have a reserves team 2 years ago & barely got one up last season

Good on them for getting back on their feet

Other situations in recent memory eg: East Brighton 2016 had no reserves and continued on playing in D1 (getting pumped) without crying poor. Might have been another there as well.
