Inchcolm Posted August 22, 2018 Report Share Posted August 22, 2018 There is such a big gap between games in this Competition. In Scotland the season begins with a cup competition. This competition at the league stage is used to get your team ready for the start of the league season. Would this help Australian teams prepare for the start of the league and drum up support? How would it work? I see it as 4 leagues of 5 teams. 12 A league teams and 8 National teams (there would have to be a playoff to reduce it to 8) 3 A league and 2 National teams in each group this gives 4 games (2 home and 2 away). The top 2 or the winners can go through to the next round (semi-final or quarter-final). It sure would keep things going rather than this long gap between games.

As it is currently with a six-month off-season the A-League "dies" for several months and then has to be revived for the new season. The format I've suggested would still work with a league of 12,14 or 16 clubs; there would just be more group matches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are going to keep noticing “weird shit” the FFA does and wondering why, pretty soon you’ll be as twisted and cynical etc etc as the rest of us. Best you just look, nod and smile. Less pain that way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jovan Posted August 24, 2018 Report Share Posted August 24, 2018 I think the thing @Inchcolm may not have also noticed is that the different levels play in different calendars. Npl and lower leagues are traditional winter leagues beginning in mar/april and finishing in sept/Oct whilst A League runs through the summer starting in Oct finishing May. The problem with FFA cup is that the early rounds 32 and 16 are basically when the A League teams haven't even been training but the NPL teams are probably at their peak. The later rounds become less favourable for the lower league teams as they have basically finished their seasons and if they are still in the last 8 or even semis they won't have played much at all I think the final 3 rounds quarters/semis and Final should be played in march april and mirror somewhat the Champions League model of early rounds early on and final rounds much later.
