I found it odd back then and now in hindsight, I find it even more odd that they announced the 8. From their position, they should not have announced anything. Maybe tell the 8 in private, but tell the public that the process is ongoing. Now they are in this weird position where they have this 80% ready thing and don't seem to know how to get to 100% ready.
Just think, all that was needed to get this thing over the line was FQLD not to play the stand-over card and Melbourne Knights to come to the table. We would have had the 10 and enough to get something happening next year.

And for Tony Pignata NOT to have been promised an Aleague License, and for the APL to have less votes on the board ... and... and .. and.... 

7 years worth of work (and hope) gone down the drain it seems.... how very deflating.

In no particular order, just off the top of my head (and I'm sure there are others):

1. Any negative comment on Football Queensland social media, the commentator is immediately blocked.

2. In a sport where one of the constant struggles, especially at lower levels, is recruiting, training and keeping referees, over the past couple seasons FQ has refused to register some experienced and long-time referees, I believe because of things like negative social media comment or other ridiculous reasons.

3. An increase to registration fees occurred when Cavallucci became CEO. I'm sure coincidentally, the sum of this fee increase across all FQ participants was pretty much equivalent to the increase in salary that Cavallucci receives compared to his predecessor. Refer to Bonita Mersiades (and others) saga from a couple years ago.

4. For the 2023 season, FQ introduced an app called Squadi to replace the previous competition and game management system. It was a generic system for all sports that required significant modifications and changes to cater for the particular requirements of football in general and football in Queensland in particular. It was implemented at the start of the 2023 season when almost none of these modifications were in place, so the first couple months of 2023 was a disaster, including up to NPL competitions. The rest of 2023 was only slightly less of a dog's breakfast, and at the end of 2024 (two full seasons after introduction) the system still does not have anything near the functionality that the previous system had. For example, it is only in the the last month that the teamsheet system has been fixed so that a team cannot have two players with the same shirt number allocated to them for a game. The previous system did this. Another example, the previous system tracked yellow cards and send-off suspensions so that any suspended player was automatically blocked from being selected on a teamsheet. Now, FQ require all clubs at all levels, including junior and community and up to NPL level, to track yellow card counts and suspensions, and it is up to the clubs to ensure players who are nominally suspended (FQ do not advise the clubs anymore of yellow card suspensions as they did previously) are not played in the fixtures for which they are suspended. Squadi allows suspended players to be selected on the team sheet, the previous system did not.

5. For the past two seasons, the fixture scheduling for junior and community football has been a nightmare, especially but not exclusively at the beginning of the season. At the beginning of the season, for quite a few weeks fixtures were only being released an a week-by-week basis, often only a day before the weekend. So many players and families are complaining how can they organise weekends without visibility of when or where games are being played, especially for families who have more than one child playing. There are occasions through the season where many community teams don't play for a month or more at a time, part of which is due to school holidays but exacerbated by poor scheduling. Even in the last couple of weeks, there are community teams who are only being advised of the day and time of their semi-final the day before the match.

6. For some reason it appears FQ (i.e., Cavallucci) is completely anti-NSD. They even went to the point of modifying their regulations, without apparent consultation, to discourage clubs from applying for NSD, e.g., any non-NPL clubs, including new entities, who may be relegated from NSD in future could only go back to FQ competition at the lowest level (back to FQPL6 instead of NPL).

7. FQ totally pissed-off all the regional zones (zones outside SEQ) by excluding them from highest level competition, and removing zone boards that were club selected. The zone boards were replaced with FQ-appointed "zone representatives" who are in FQ's pocket. Some zones were actively looking at how they could separate from FQ.

All these things mentioned above have only occurred since Cavallucci became CEO. Of course FQ wasn't always a bed of roses prior to Cavallucci, but it is now significantly worse.

as a cairns boy 7 is completely awful
the anti-nsd stuff probably delayed the nst to 2026 and means there probably won't be a qld team for a while

hahahahah fark your a hard man to please. HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAH 


So Queensland has a solid Pyramid that promises nothing to NSD teams but allows for flexibility at their discretion, depending on what the future throws up

Victoria now already has a soft Pyramid to try and allow for all possibilities, and praying everyone's happy with FV's interpretatiion of thise 'rules'

Genuine question : How many teams in Victoria aren't sure what division they'll be playing in next Season before the NST even exists in any form ?

If Avondale AND South do leave the NPL then either Manningham and or Moreland will get to stay UP to keep the league at 14 clubs OR WU youth and Northcote city (and maybe one more bearing in mind Preston already promoted but wont need it) ... and onwards down the leagues... Then  you have to maybe even allow for VPL2 with Caroline Springs Georgies going to the NSD ... its a bit of a mess.

Made a minor comment on twitter saying something about it before unfair to ban Sunshine Coast to join the NSD and got immediately blocked.

It’s the hope that kills you.
So many people have been hanging on to the hope that maybe, just maybe Australian football is going to move forward but then you’ve got aforementioned ‘knobheads’ doing everything possible to make sure that doesn’t happen.

If Avondale AND South do leave the NPL then either Manningham and or Moreland will get to stay UP to keep the league at 14 clubs OR WU youth and Northcote city (and maybe one more bearing in mind Preston already promoted but wont need it) ... and onwards down the leagues... Then  you have to maybe even allow for VPL2 with Caroline Springs Georgies going to the NSD ... its a bit of a mess. 

Incorrect. If NSD goes ahead NPL will be an 11 team competition.

So 7 round season and you'd expect 3 rounds of knockout finals. 10 week NST with guaranteed spots for foundation clubs ala European Super League...

Honestly, it's better than nothing, especially if it works as a pathway to a full H&A in the seasons to come.

But one wonders how economically feasible this is. I can only see clubs going for this if the FA are on the hook for more of the operating budget. The AAFC modelling showed a champions league format was the least feasible.

Also wonder how South fans will feel about the regular NPL season... so we can get relegated and still participate in the NST? Might suck the energy out of the regular season... which would hit the bottom line in the wrong way!

This would be ok as a temporary measure.... and I guess it does point to wanting to building a broader club culture. I for one reckon the NSD needs connection to the NPLs from day 1 via pro/rel... so this might be a good compromise.

I cant imagine a scenario where clubs are keen to pay wages for another 2-3 months, essentially no off season. Even as a one off i cant imagine much appetite for this. Nobody would turn up either, fans are exhausted after a long season.

yeah wonder if it means upping the roster to include full time players since it effectively means a 9 month season

They should've done this THIS season, entering this phase right now! Absolutely dragging the feet here. Playing this comp right now as a trial of real world costs and logistics I could've lived with. But waiting yet another 12 months just for this? It's a kick in the nuts.

There is room for a champions league or league cup type of comp like this, but IN ADDITION TO an NST, not a replacement, temporary or other.

If this is the NST format then I've 100% given up on the game in Australia. Ange is right. The country just doesn't care enough to get involved. Too many people sucking up a wage and getting their dick in the way.

Call me a euro snob. I attended every match in Adelaide of the first 3 seasons of the a-league. I attended Adelaide city games in the NSL. I travelled interstate. I played, coached, refereed. idid it all.

I've given up.

If this is the NST format then I've 100% given up on the game in Australia. Ange is right. The country just doesn't care enough to get involved. Too many people sucking up a wage and getting their dick in the way.

Call me a euro snob. I attended every match in Adelaide of the first 3 seasons of the a-league. I attended Adelaide city games in the NSL. I travelled interstate. I played, coached, refereed. idid it all.

I've given up.

hope a home and away comes in 2026 and you come back

it's been way too long

IF

This has become the Lakeside Rumour thread, and the strike rate is pretty poor, so lets not get ahead of ourselves

However IF this is true

Yep, I'll be gone as well
