I’ve long thought we should have a cup winners cup between the Australian cup and GF winners. Could have at the start of the season. Be a nice way to kick the new season off

I agree but it should wait until we have a normal home and away season so that teams aren’t going to play each other four, maybe even five times in a season.

Merge the cup and the finals into a glorious hybrid.
The last two teams standing in the cup are joined with the two highest-ranked teams from the league to play the cup semi and grand finals.
Go one further, build a ‘+’ shaped pitch with 4 goals and all 4 teams play at the same time. Call it Football +

That sounds like the opportunity to get 4 toddler races happening simultaneously.
I know what I’ll be watching.

I’ve actually measured it out before. You could fit a hexagon with six non-overlapping penalty boxes on the MCG surface.

No magic of the cup for Fernhill FC with a comfortable 4-0 win for Dulwich Hill. Highlight being an outrageous 40+ yard chipped goal.

If we were a republic, we could have a President’s Cup

That didn’t stop the NSWRL
It was 1910 when Sir James Joynton Smith, the newly appointed President of the NSWRL, donated the trophy. Joynton Smith was the Lord Mayor of Sydney and earned a knighthood for his philanthropic work. A shrewd businessman, he was a key figure in the game up until his death in 1943.
Why wait for a republic when we can make a president for football!
I’m amazed Gallop didn’t try to make himself El Presidente.

Unfortunately for Hazelbrook, they were actually 1-0 up after 4 minutes. Down 5-1 at half-time.
Second half they were trying their best to be the 2001 American Samoan national football team.
I was wondering how our Blue Mountains representative was going.
Bad luck, Hazo.
I know it’s a heavy loss, but nice to see my childhood club in the cup haha.
