Over 35's 2018 Mega Thread

Post by On The Pine »

Hey all,

I have some questions about the upcoming season, but I thought it was just as well to start a thread that can be added to for other issues/inquiries etc. as the year goes on.

Anyways, I have heard a few rumblings about a significantly shortened season for the Over 35's this year (apparently a late start and only 11 or so rounds). I also read something on FB where someone suggested that after the initial fixture of 11 or so rounds the league might split into two (top 6 or so sides playing off and bottom six sides playing off).

Can anyone confirm the start date and what is going on in terms of the fixture? Even better, does anyone have a copy they could add here?

Cheers

At this stage I believe fixtures are still a work in progress due to clubs not able to confirm having a +35s team and hence don't know if its a 14, 13, 12 or 11 team league. Ive heard variations of all 4 so far. Added to this is that clubs are requesting that +35s games try and follow their 1st team. A nightmare to try and organize if the size of the league keeps changing.

For 12 or more (max 16) team league a bottom and top play-off league after 1 full round is a good option. It suits the social nature of +35s in that you still play all teams once. It reduces the overall number of games for a season allowing for a proper +35s knock-out cup. In the future maybe include the teams from the Masters comp if both parties are keen?? It lets the more competitive teams fight it out for the title while those more interested in just being able to play still have a full season. Obviously it requires a little bit of work and a few compromises but seems a good way to go.

More than 16 we can look at two leagues, but that again introduces how many games are played. ie 2 or 3 full rounds. Obviously 10 or 20 teams would be ideal.

Still good to have a beer and a chat with some of them. The others will get the idea. Got to lead by example.

Mate, clearly you have no affiliation with headquarters. There are just too many sensible ideas and sound reasoning in this post.

Last year was a 22 game season and that worked, but personally I think it would be around 18 rounds in a perfect world. 11 games would just not be enough and if it a 12-14 team league the model where each club plays each other once and then splitting into the two halves of the table is the way to go.

Whichever way it goes, it seems it is leaving it all pretty bloody late. I know that is nothing new, but my concern is that the best model may require us to start sooner rather than the proposed later start, to get through the season on time.

If anyone gets any updates from HQ it would be great if you could pass the details on.

Cheers For posting them Htfac. Sounds like there are a few leagues that are having numbers change at the death and a few fixtures are still getting sorted. You would think they need to have a stronger cut off date moving forward.

So who are the teams that pulled out late of the 35’s? Vista? Para Hills?

Vista couldn't field a C team and a +35s as they have lost a lot of players from last year in their higher grades. Past +35s players who wanted to are now playing Cs with the others not playing at all.
Para Hills I think were struggling to field a full +35s so they've shifted to a C team. After last year took its toll on enthusiasm I feel. A bit like Gawler the year before.
Sturt Marion apparently had intent to field a +35s. Not sure what happened here. Maybe the thought of travelling north every second week got the better of that idea??
But Parafield Gardens have re-entered the +35s league. So lost two gained one from last year.
Cant blame the Amateur League. They are at the mercy of the clubs to a degree. Don't really want to see clubs/teams/players turned away. I'm sure the SAASL tries to at least offer leagues with at least 18 games a season. Clubs also try there best based on last years numbers when nominating teams. Players moving from club to club (for fickle reasons or otherwise) or players just leaving it until the last minute (particularly in +35s) make getting team numbers right early very difficult.

No one likes running in the +35s, so that could probably be the case for any team that wins the league!

yes, it was postponed. happy to stand corrected but I think Gardens asked for it to be played on Friday night which Westies couldn't arrange in time.
In my time at Anfield we always said we had the best two teams on Merseyside - Liverpool and Liverpool reserves.

Gardens did request the game to be moved thanks to Westies for accommodating us.
The league have informed us it needs to be played within the next 3 weeks.
Also Gardens have contacted the league to advise that due to pitch restrictions
ALL Gardens home games will kick off at 1pm. We will notify opposition before each
game to make sure that they are aware. We will also be looking to move some games
to a Friday night with a 7/7:30 kick when the new lights are installed.

Possibly.. Heard they would forfit against gardens if they didn’t play on a Friday night which gardens did after playing us on a Wednesday night (catch up game).. they tried to get us to play on a Friday night as well, maybe struggling for numbers on a Sunday

Jets had a forfeit game against Vale last week “apparently” but Game Day show
1 nil halftime 3 nil full time with 2 different goal scorers .... Grove only had 6 players turn
up today so Jets did the admirable thing and gave them 4 players so they could play

Now the Modbury Jets v Grove game has been changed to a forfeit the leading goal scorer could be determined this weekend when Farm play Jets. There is currently (when the ladder on the website is changed) one goal difference between the top two players.

Possibly.. Heard they would forfit against gardens if they didn’t play on a Friday night which gardens did after playing us on a Wednesday night (catch up game).. they tried to get us to play on a Friday night as well, maybe struggling for numbers on a Sunday
Jets had a forfeit game against Vale last week “apparently” but Game Day show
1 nil halftime 3 nil full time with 2 different goal scorers .... Grove only had 6 players turn
up today so Jets did the admirable thing and gave them 4 players so they could play
So Grove played unregistered players and Jets allowed their players to play. I'd dock them both points. We can't allow this good sportsmanship stuff to drift into the Over 35's Division.
