Absolutely, a bit strange that from under 12's to under 15's don't have any semi's etc. only a GF but the 16.5's have semi's.
On the same token, at least it gives more kids more game time this season opposed to most kids only playing 9 games and some 12.
The league executive should be very happy with themselves as a whole, yeah it was a bit weird and a tad frustrating with the longer gaps between games but you'd take that, I also found the umpiring very good throughout the year (and my lad plays for a northern suburbs club).
Suggestions for the future Mr Riddle:
More of the mini's to under 10 games on Friday nights to free up the ovals for Sundays.
Less of the older age groups on Friday nights as the games go a bit long and spectators get on the piss for longer, the players tend to get more cheap shots in as the vision is poor for the umpires.
