Subbies 2023!

[Heavyd]

Does anyone actually know the finals format? Someone tried to tell me Div 2 is 3 vs 6 and 4 vs 5, following week winners play 1&2 with winners into GF??!!!!!! Surely they are wrong????????? You cant have 6 team make a finals in a 7 team comp.

I hear a lot of clubs in div 1 and 2 were unclear on finals formats just a few weeks out from finals. Ideally this should have been confirmed and communicated at the start of the season

If you're sitting 6th in a 7 team comp the thought would go through your head to try and get 7th to just end the misery.

Im sure they were and do. Does anyone know?

The fact that we are in the last round of competition and are still in the dark, is nothing less than Farcical.

 

[Prodigy]

My understanding is that Division 2 will be the traditional four team finals format.
Major semi finals at Concord Oval, minor semi finals at Rothwell Park.
1 v 2 with the winner advancing to the grand final
3 v 4 with the loser eliminated.
I haven’t seen 100% confirmation though

Back to a traditional top 4 based on what I’ve heard. Not sure about Div 1. From only going off the subbies website it looks like Kentwell has been a good arm wrestle and a close race

Forest vs Mosman at Melwood will decide who is heading down for a brief stint with those grubby Div 2 heathens.

Should be fiery as well. For someone from Mosman, being relegated by Forest of all clubs would be the ultimate humiliation.

Wouldnt they need to be at the same oval as reseves will come from lower grades in many cases?

I will be thrilled if Sefton doesnt get a mention ever in my life again.

I think the general plan will be for the major at one and the minor at the other, however, I think the 3rd grade major and minor May swap based on the teams involved

Who are the unlucky teams who have worked hard to finish 1 and 2 to get traded down to Rothwell from Concord?

Lindfield will play Uni in every gradez Wouldn’t the idea for Lindfield to play Uni in every grade at the same ground be the right decision here?

It does suggest that the two best teams in 3rd grade don't matter. And Lindfield will play Newport in colts. Uni's colts will be at Rothwell..... That's a conundrum

The fact that we are in the last round of competition and are still in the dark, is nothing less than Farcical.

Clubs have been given the information.

If they were unclear, they should have rung Subbies in the first instance.

If they didn't pass the information on, then ring your club.

 

[Pfitzy]

The structure of finals day again depends on finding the right facility - losing the second oval at DP is a pain.

Where else has two ovals available in an enclosed facility?

Rothwell and Concord aren't ideal given the distance between them. Sefton is an option nobody really wants by comparison.

 

[Denistone_Dennis]

That short white picket fence at rothwell is impenetrable....

Why not just play the Semis at Old Soldier then?

 

[Denistone_Dennis]

Why not just play the Semis at Old Soldier then?

Why not play the whole thing at Boronia right?

 

[Eastcoast]

Why not play the whole thing at Boronia right?

Give us 12 months* until the developments are done. Still strange to see the ground with those trees missing between #1 and 2

*pending building progression
