Sign Up Now!Not sure who decided that when the competition was changed to 16 teams.100% agree.
Isn't the reason why its not because clubs vote against it?
Still not a fan of finals. Almost as bad as the AL where half the teams make it. Can't call a team that finishes 6th and wins the GF the champions.View attachment 8940
Only 3 points separate 5th to 13th. Crazy.
How bad are some teams from 5th and below, where you can lose more game than you win and still make the 6 lol.
Those stats are crazy !Can’t see Dandy surviving VPL 1 at this rate..

Dandenong Thunder will be one of the better teams in VPL 1 next year though and won't be conceding that many shots at goal.Can’t see Dandy surviving VPL 1 at this rate..

Any idea what’s being built behind the goals at ilinden sports centre ?We are absolutely terrible better off not making finals just to be a number in the finals other clubs deserve it more
New coach next year confirmed resume isn’t the greatest but can’t be worse than this putrid football Paul Dee has served up and the ridiculous signings too
Wasn’t the 16 teams done with the idea that x number or clubs would leave for the championship and then it would condense againNot sure who decided that when the competition was changed to 16 teams.
Only problem is as we discovered when it went to a first past the post for a season or two you need something for teams to play for. In other leagues globally that either comes from promotion spots or continental qualification spots. Npl has neither. So you end up having vast majority of the league playing for pride second half of the season.Still not a fan of finals. Almost as bad as the AL where half the teams make it.

No, it had nothing to do with the ChampionshipWasn’t the 16 teams done with the idea that x number or clubs would leave for the championship and then it would condense again
Nah, I think it was done because Graham Arnold wanted clubs to play at least 30 games which makes sense to me if we want to be a football nation.Wasn’t the 16 teams done with the idea that x number or clubs would leave for the championship and then it would condense again
That makes sense. Once we have pro/rel from top down, then we need to get rid of it.Only problem is as we discovered when it went to a first past the post for a season or two you need something for teams to play for.

Imo finals would be more acceptable if it was qualification for a national finals Ala the aus championship format if they ever do away with the concept of foundation clubs. No state finals, just the top 4 or whatever qualify for the national finals
