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

https://www.timeout.com/melbourne/news/score-a-huge-new-stadium-and-massive-parklands-have-been-slated-for-melbournes-western-suburbs-071924 Between Ballarat Road, Railway Line, and Ring Road. It would've been a much better location to base a team out of within the western suburbs, both in...

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

Was taking the piss. Meant it's silly to complain about fed teams getting home advantage like it's some unheard of thing when of the top 5 leagues, three of those federations do the same. Obviously I'm biased but in terms of atmosphere and storyline I do think it's just much better (with split...

First out of the hat isn't necessarily at home in at least Victoria and SA now (it might be somewhere else I just can't think of too). Also lower ranked teams playing at home is pretty common globally, DFB-Pokal, Copa del Rey, Coupe de France all give home advantage to lower ranked teams. Sounds...

90+10 minute equaliser for South Hobart to send their semi-final to extra time against Kingborough, been proper desperation football for a while now after being 2-0 down. KLU have an alright squad but have probably been underperforming in the league. Devonport won their semi yesterday

If you look at the team at all it's really not that surprising. They have a State 2 level squad (or at least SL3). Was at the game and don't think Fawkner were quite full strength but felt like Murray United were definitely better (fitness, speed, technically), 1-0 scoreline felt flattering and...

It is technically the four semi-finalists that progress in scenario 2, by virtue of allowing scenario one - and hence having ten clubs playing in Round 7, twenty in Round 6 and so on; there needs to be scenario 2 to decide which four of the five make the semis. However the competition is...

believe zone league will still go ahead? It's just community competitions that are being split off (don't know if this extends to zone conference). was a bit of a confusing statement regarding which leagues the clubs are withdrawing from and which they're not - don't think it'll affect first...

Until it's St Albans 2025 all over again (Hume did look shocking though)
