    Expansion Thread 🪜

    Azaad Club in the metropolitan leagues? All I can think of unless somewhere around Tarneit or Truganina has a connection They're trying this in Hockey One this year, Melbourne Cobras aimed at Indian diaspora who are eventually planned to play in Beveridge, as included in this council petition...

    NPL 2026

    Why do FNSW not have simultaneous kick-offs for League One and League Two? After Bankstown's win the Mt Druitt vs Tigers game feels a bit silly. Every State League in Vic has simultaneous kick-offs, it can't be that hard to organise over just the two leagues

    The Australian Championship 🇦🇺🏆

    Bayswater City and Oakleigh Cannons also officially (even though they've both more or less been for a couple weeks) premiers this evening. All sixteen now locked in assuming nobody says no, but of the group I can't imagine any do.

    NPL 2026

    2007 was last trophy (top of VPL, won finals). First Dockerty Cup since 1992. Good to get the win and clearly the better team today, Heidelberg's current run of form is very ordinary. Might just be hungover but felt like a bit of a boring game for a cup final at a couple points (first half of...

    NPL 2026

    Not at all, last time they were outside of the top tier in Victoria is when they were in the nsl. Have probably spent the most years in top tier of Victoria of any club (I assume South and Heidelberg would be more if you thrown in nsl years as well)

    The Australian Championship 🇦🇺🏆

    South Hobart's win over Launceston City this afternoon also guarantees they top NPL Tasmania and qualify for the 2026 Championship

    Larissa Reserve is terrible if they maybe want to segregate crowds. Also wouldn't meet broadcast standards. Thought they'd host it at Somers St though.

    NPLW season 2026 thread

    Is it still just two teams that go down in Women's NPL Vic, or was it expanded to 3 like the mens when they went from 12 to 14 teams this season? Can't find it online

    I'd say ~5 of the players start fairly regularly; it wasn't full strength at all but not quite a reserves lineup

    Equaliser ah well. Here's hoping there's still a chance national rounds football will be back at Valley Road

    Darwin Hearts and Casuarina respectively (so both from the NT). Both still pretty active within those communities as well

    St George played in 2019, for some reason I though Adelaide Budapest were the more 'senior' club in Campbelltown City's merger - but they would actually probably be better lumped into Italian

    First Albanian club to qualify for national rounds I think. There's been, or will be (to the best of my abilities): 16 Greek Clubs (+Nunawading City, not sure if they count though) +2 Greek Cypriot Clubs 14 Italian Clubs (again +Inter Lions, someone from Sydney can correct me but don't think...

    3-2 win for North Sunshine. 1st goal was class. Might sound odd to say but honestly rather see them win than Avondale
