Discussion Sweet Football Association - where's it at?

[Wosh]

Oooooooo Saturday night Mobbs…

How about the Outback League
We have one ready made team, a ground, a huge membership.

The rest will come

Sounds like a Kevin Costner movie.

 

[Marlowe]

Is anyone else picturing Mobbs doing it now?

When was Kevin Costner ever in the Aussie outback?
That was Paul Hogan.

I see you've played Knifey Spoony before.

 

[Wosh]

Think of the doofs out at Koala Park

 

[Wosh]

I see you've played Knifey Spoony before.

Exactly, we already have an Aussie pub.

Fun fact I recruited Knifey Spoony to the League.

 

[Wosh]

Ok so instead of SFA-X how about SFA-XXX …complete with Mobbs secs.

 

[Mobbs]

Ok I'm back.

I looked through the index of all leagues I had from the old Footypedia.

Subtracted every instance of "league", "association", etc

And got these prospective suffixes:

Cup​

Trophy​

Competition​

Championship​

Tournament​

Carnival​

Union​

Shield​

Keep State of Origin for January, simple, easy to run, only takes 3 weeks, already have established buy-in and activity has increased every year since its been revived.

Trim the H&A season from 16/17 rounds to 14 rounds each. There's overwhelming data to show that engagement dwindles as the season progresses. Fixture 'equity' is unnecessary, let the clubs decide who the 3 teams they want to double up against each season. If you end up with the Demons and Wonders deciding to play each other twice for seasons on end then so be it, you might cultivate long term rivalries this way.

Shorten it, free up 5 weeks on the calendar to run a new competition in the middle of the year, like some sort of 'Hindealla Cup/Super League' with a different format e.g. straight knockout brackets or group stage + finals. You can include the 12 SFA clubs + 4/6 'invitational' clubs.

People can apply to be added as an invitational club by making sort of a mini-expansion bid except you don't need a full list, just a core group of players and you can top up the rest with whatever real life personality/fictional characters/made up names you want. Committee can either vote on which applications get accepted or some sort of qualification Qooty competition can be run.

With this you can sort of get the 'buzz' of expansion annually, the opportunity to create new club identities, form novel player groupings and none of the added overheads like needing to restructure the finals system to account for 14 teams, further diluting the player pool etc.

And to think we let a personality like this retire.
