Yeah 2 great ideas to be honest...That should shorten the fixture list a whole lot...Maybe introduce the prem teams in the 3rd round or something..Thats 2 les games for each premier club which would make a huge difference in the fixtures.
Heard the same one game a week under lights in Jackman and the final to be played Paddy's weekend.Quote:

yeah that sounds good, 4 first round games, 4 quarter finals, 2 semis and the final, thats 11 games, if they played 1 every Wednesday night in Jackman starting in January, it would bring it right up to Paddys weekend.Quote:

true,they have a great squad,alot of those FRINGE players would walk on to any team in town
pike v wembley match off jackman unplayable!!!!!!!!!!!
Jackman Park is hardly unplayable even after all the rain.Quote:
