2017 National Premier League thread

[Charman]

Most likely attract a bigger crowd then the Jets! :)

[WhatAGame]

I obviously don't speak for everyone but as a player i love the idea of having the grand final at McDonald Jones Stadium. you can say what you want about atmosphere, money etc. but at the end of the day playing a grand final at the stadium would be a dream come true for nearly every player in npl, especially those in the U-18s and U-20s.

[Bremsstrahlung]

I think it's great for trying to increase the professionalism of the league. The experience to play at the stadium would be a great experience for players and clubs.
Not so great for spending, I assume, a lot of money to hire out the stadium. Money that could probably be better spent. But, it is our premier competition and idk, can give it a shot and see how it goes.

There's still something about walking into Wanderers oval and seeing the grass perfectly mowed and rolled, grandstand packed, your club support on the hill and walking out to a sea of people.
You add some aspects of atmosphere, but take away just as many.

At least people can't complain about clubs getting all the proceeds.

I think it would get more people at the game than would normally go. How many people go to the real NRL GF that don't go to a game all year? In the paper it said that the gate takings should cover most of the cost, so shouldn't be too much out of northerns pockets. Only Magic (or Edgy) lose from it really but they'll get the new fm GF now.

[Premy]

I hope they set up like they did for the Olyroos game there a few years back. Close the whole Eastern stand and just have the Lower Western and both Hills open.

That's what they are doing

[leftrightout]

That's what they did for local rugby league grand final and there was quite a good atmosphere in there.

The big advantage i think is the corporate boxes. Most of these were taken for Rugby League, i cant see why it wouldn't be the same.
I know its probably not as financially as good but i think numbers will increase which, is in the long run, is more important i think!

I'll tell you why it won't be the same. For years the rugby league grand final was getting between 8-10k as opposed to the npl getting 3-5k
It's a terrible idea. As much as I dislike magic, they have the facilities to put on a good day

[MFKS]

Other thing to note is they talking about night time KO

Early september being outside at night isnt exactly family friendly weather

Yeah you will get your tragics but think they would get more blow ins holding.it on a Sunday arvo rather than a Saturday night

i think its a good idea having the opportunity to play on #1 ground...but
NNSWF should charge $5 entry flat, rather than $15, keep in mind the beers and food will be exorbitant to other venues in NPL. A family of 4 will dish out easy $100 for entry 4x drinks 4x chips.
my tip- BARTV will be the winner here, viewing will go through the roof, i can see NNSWF charging for subscription for viewing like the mundine fight, not to lose out.

[Park the bus!]

Any views on this years fees - these are for Seniors only at NPL and NL1 clubs, cheapest first:
$0 - Maitland????
$170 - magic and weston (assume doesn't include gear?)
$350 - Singleton
$490 - Cessnock and Buds
$600 - Belswans
$650 - Stags and South Cardiff
$675 - Thornton
$720 - Kahibah
$750 - Lakes
$800 - Wallsend
$950 - Valo - reliable source says an extra $300 for gear plus a $150 sponsorship levy - clearly funding players to get them into the Top 4 this year?
Hamilton and West Wallsend - no packages?? Hamilton probably organised but with the start of the comp only 2 weeks away, suggests that Westy are all over the shop

Happy for others to update/correct but thats a massive cost to play at Wallsend in NL1 and Valo in NPL

[Stryker]

no supporters on one side of the stadium, will be an atmosphere killer. plus sitting on the eastern side with a cap is much warmer in september than sitting on the western side which can be freezing on the warmest days.

AR on that side of the field will have a great day with no supporters to deal with.

a local ground (edgy, magic, lakes) would be a much better option.

will taking the game to MJS attract new supporters to the GF? i dont think so. entry fee will turn ppl off and overpriced food.

we really need another ground similar to #2 or the old breakers stadium. 10-15000 capacity boutique stadium. nnswf missed a great opportunity for the speers point facility to be utilised for these types of matches

How much is Lambton

Lambton is $170 also

These are all for 18s/20s/1sts in NPL and 19s/23s/1sts in NL1

[dan]

$800 for Wallsend is correct for our seniors, but that includes all of the gear. If anyone would like to know what we include in that cost please feel free to contact me via personal message.
Also keep in mind we don't take a cent to prop up our NL1 from our Junior club, WPL or ZL1 regos unlike some clubs.

800 is over the top, you can get a golf membership for that

If people want to pay that to play for Wallsend, or for anyone, good for them.

Unless you are going to list everything included, this is like putting up the price of the standard model car v's one with all the bells and whistles. Wallsend include all gear and I have talked to players at Thornton and their rego covers their playing and training kits as well as some club functions. Easy to tell which is just money and which includes gear, if you look at the teams and they don't have squad numbers then playing and training gear is probably not included.

[Park the bus!]

Are you suggesting that neither club have set rego fees?

No it means that neither Club has set up the online registration packed for players - they would have already set their fees I would have thought either later last year or early this year

Clearly some clubs put up a basic online rego pack hence the lower fees and then charge an additional fee for the extras. Of the clubs listed 8 are at $600 or more which you would think includes all the trimmings. Cessnock, Singo and Buds, perhaps they are subsidised and then Maitland, Magic and Weston well who knows

Lambton 0 magic 1

Magic very physical, magic the better in the first half, lambton dominated the game in the second.

Ruben needs to find a midfield, magic had about 7 yellows, probably would not have finished with the full quota if it was a normal game.

If half of you aint had shit for brains you would know that any player under 20 can play maximum of 40% of their games in First Grade without needing to be in PPS. Therefore it aint matter which kids are included. Yeah looks good that you are recognising the presidents son, but thats mainly for the offset value of players particularly 17-18 in the PPS as you must list 20 players, max 23.

Edgy 3 - Magic 1

Not going to lie the pitch at Edgy leaves alot to be desired.

Surprised its on TBH.

yep

Just found the end of the stream here.
Isn't the rule:- Link or GTFO? lol

Saw old? (young!) mate with the horn - was he the streaker??

[Retro Jet]

And by 'horn' I mean the air horn - you grubby buggers.
As Frank Zapper once sang:- "What's the ugliest part of your body?"

[Kicktheball]

Terrible quality of soccer in tonight's game

[Lofty]

Pitch was horrible.

Pretty. Scrappy game, magic had a few solid chances in first half with two great saves from Edgy keeper.
Not a bad result for either team, although Magic will be disappointed not to have capitalised on their good chances and numerical advantage.

It was quite a nice night out there, although I didn't think it was that cold until I saw the streaker. Maybe on the pitch their was more of a wind chill factor. Best part about it was we didn't have to hear his horrible mouth and that horn for the remainder of the game.

Pitch was a shocker, also surprised it was played considering edgy rarely play if there's bn rain within a wk of a game.

Not sure the ref affected the game that much, there wasn't much in it. Edgy player didn't say anything when he got sent off. I suppose there wasn't enough biff for your liking in a gf rematch/season opener?!

I have to disagree, I thought there were some pretty ordinary decisions against both sides. Ref didn't seem to have a solid grasp of the game.
No idea where your assumption of biff came from? There was enough of that between the young hooligan with the horn and the poor elderly Edgy supporter that was helped away with a bloodied nose by security with the mates of the young fella giving the old guy a spray.

Too many soft fouls? Maybe you see it differently on the sideline compared to being out in the middle. Would you have preferred he let the game go a bit more? Not blow the whistle so much? He may not have ended up with 21 players on the park due to a handball in the box stopping a goal but I would have thought with the pitch the way it was and being the first game of the season he did a fair job.

Decent saves by both keepers to keep there teams in it.

Jaffas 3-2 over Olympic

Jobe with the first and Pat Brown with the last two

Griff played 90 and still smarter than your average bear

First goal was a clear own goal from Olympic 13. Might have looked different from the grandstand which is why the announcer called that. Definitely didn't touch Jobe.

Olympic dominated first half. Great strike from 25 yards from Bertos tipped into the crossbar and then tapped in. Cooper burst straight through the guts to score quite a good goal.
Second half Olympic didn't offer too much but Goodchild rounded the keeper then smashed over the crossbar which would have made it 3-0. Lambton then all over them for the remained of the game.

Olympic to me looked unfit. Jaffas have been training 3 nights a week since October and simply ran Olympic into the ground. Agree with you that Olympic dominated the first half but once the match pushed beyond the 60 minute mark it was one way traffic as they sat deeper and deeper. Goes to show what a good pre season does for you

To me I thought Jaffas offered nothing in the first half as there was a complete lack of support for the 9

The subs at HT of Brown and Remington changed that.

To me Jaffas have a very good squad on paper it just a matter of Pascoe finding the right mix

Last night Waller and Hay offered little.
Remington and Brown did

By also pushing Griff wider he got on the ball more and can create for others. His speed in the body ain't what it was but he has the speed between the ears still

Magic firing back at Edgy.

I was so confused how/why they let the streaker back in. But something I've not really seen mentioned anywhere is the fact that when the streaker was back in the field, he had 2 security guys standing right next to him (and his mates) the whole time. So if anything, to me it just seemed a waste of security resources rather than an issue. And very potentially a violation of RSA, which I would imagine is a much bigger deal than just NNSW and the clubs. But still, I personally would never have let him back in. The group of mates he was with, I have an assumption were all in a local football team together. Putting 2 and 2 together, I THINK they were all apart of a ZL3 side. They definitely knew the NewySports guy, so maybe he'd be able to shed some light. But yeah, IF they are a group and IF this streaker isn't a player, I'd bet some money that he'll be showing up to more NPL as well as whatever games his mates go to this year. So that may be worth monitoring for NNSW and the Zone Leagues, potentially.

I didn't see any of these apparent words being exchange in the players race, so can't comment there.

SURELY the bill for the FFA Cup lighting was sorted out so, so long ago. Whoever is in the wrong, it just seems ridiculous that is still going on!

Had nothing to do with the lighting bill... Magic and Mills had an agreement for ground hire before the FFA Cup... Mills reneged, deciding not to pay the full amount, his integrity shows as much class at the Edgeworth supporters that Friday night 2 weeks ago... Edgeworth will have to hire Hunter Stadium for future FFA Cup matches.

There is one common denominator in 6 of the last 7 crowd/official disturbances... Edgeworth...

"The streaker has been identified"... that's was the last we will hear of it.

[MonkeyKplunk]

“It was serious what happened last year, this is just rubbish,” he said. “If they just let it go, we’d let it go as well but they just keep going.”

This all seems like Mills is trying to sweep some serious breaches of spectator and club code of conduct, plus breaches of RSA laws under the proverbial carpet.

IMO this needs to be dealt with harshly by NNSWF.

[immersion]

We are all worried about a streaker. I would love to hear anyone who didn't find it funny. Where i was sitting in the grandstand near to some magic people, even they found it quite funny. Surely there are bigger areas to improve than the once in a life time streaker event.

This all just seems petty to me. This rubbish between Edgeworth and Magic is old, who cares? Both seem to be as bad as one another in different ways.

I'm pretty sure the mother in front of me that had to explain the situation to her young son and daughter didn't find it funny. I'm sure there were plenty of others in the same scenario. But hey, if you think that's acceptable then go for it.
The main issue is that he was knowingly let back into the ground and then jumped in for BarTV interviews around the dressing sheds. It was handled poorly and the behaviour from both hills with Edgy fans was pretty ordinary. Not to mention the physical altercation between this same group of mates and an elderly gentleman being escorted away by security with a bloody nose.

End of the day, you can't prevent a streaker, but once it happens, there are a lot of different ways it can be handled better than what happened on the night.

If you can't see the correlation between a streaker and breach of RSA and code of conduct laws then you need to have a long hard think about life.
A breach of RSA laws alone could see parts of the club being shutdown on game days, and a loss of a major game day revenue stream

Out of curiosity why is it Edgys responsibility the behaviour of said streaker??

How about the bloke in question take responsibility for his own shit and how about other people actually force him to take responsibility for his own actions instead of trying to negate his responsibility by trying to blame Edgy for it

Hey next time I out at Jack McLauglin Oval if I have a beer or two whose fault is it if I take my clothes off and go running around ??

It ain't Millsy's fault
It ain't the bloke who handed me the over priced tinny
It ain't the fault of Edgy FC


It the idiot drinking it and the idiot doing it

[MonkeyKplunk]

It's the security companies responsibility to uphold the RSA laws they're contracted to enforce.
They were contracted for the event by Edgeworth, therefore, it's Edgeworth's responsibility to make sure the security company understands it's responsibilities.
That's the nature of employing contractors.

I'm only guessing, but from past experience I'd say someone at Edgeworth hasn't had that pre-event chat with their security head for the day and made sure they are acting in the clubs best interests.
It's event management 101 really.

Totally agree with comments.
BUT
if Millsy is there high 5ing and encouraging the behaviour of this smart Edgyite, along with the 3 yellow vested duty officers, near the offender the whole game were finding his abusive manner funny and entertaining. then yes Edgy FC is at fault and they have a serious bogan mentality occurring at home, with repeat offences of this behaviour continually happening especially on Friday nights..
Great football team 1st GRADE is, unfortunately doesn't reflect the attitude of the morons running the joint

It is their responsibility because he was in attendance to support Edgeworth, was actively supporting Edgeworth and doing so within a larger group of Edgeworth supporters, regardless if they are known to the club or not.

In the eyes of NNSWF there are no neutral supporters. Its is an absolute disgrace that when the streaker returned and was harassing BarTV, an Edgeworth official remonstrated with security not the kick "the kid" out, again. The streaking was a culmination of many events that Edgeworth official blatantly ignored and were not showing visible presence to monitor THEIR SUPPORTERS' BEHAVIOUR, ignorance is bliss at Jack McLaughlin.

I would hope NNSWF sends a clear message to Edgeworth on the standard of behaviour outlined in the terms of admission and spectator code of conduct and expected at its events, and implements bans to the degenerate few.

[pv4]

degenerate few.

This is the key words here for me.

Punt the degenerate few, and problem solved.

Also agree with MonkeyK - it was the security peoples responsibility to kick out the streaker, and keep him out. The only people I can really think of from the Edgeworth club who had a responsibility once the streaker was let back in was the people selling alcohol, to make sure they didn't sell more to him (which I'm assuming they didn't but can't confirm).

Sorry Monkey but you are incorrect.
It is the licensee's responsibility to uphold the RSA laws - ultimately they are responsible and can have their liquor license terminated if they are found to have breached requirements.
The security company and bar staff that kept serving this idiot should be being monitored by the licensee.

But every club has their issues. Let's look at magic last year:

This doesn't paint a great picture for the club. One of the worst incidents over the past 2 years. But nothing ever happens.

Throwing beers bottles and assaulting a player barely caused an issue, and yet everyone is crying over this.

yep. Stones and glass houses. Magic has had more than their fair share of trouble over the years but nothing we cant all get over as well.

1K fine for the streaker. Edgey club on notice if anything further. done. Precedent set.

That seems to be a pretty big fine. Especially when you consider I think someone previously stated that you only get about $10,000 for winning the league. Need a fact checker there.

10% seems a little bit steep to me. But maybe these clubs have more money than I think

Fairly sure hawk means 1k fine directly to the person. Which is pretty lenient given that streakers at most large sporting venues end up more than 5k out of pocket, and one poor bloke got a 3 month gaol term a few years ago from an NRL match.

Damn, i will not be streaking anytime soon lol.

Under what authority would they enforce the fine?

Enforcement of the fine would be a civil matter and probably passed onto the police or state infringement office same as a parking ticket etc. NNSWF power comes from directly banning this person from any football activity for a period of time, implementing the National Banning Policy due to breaches of the SCC and TA.

Irrespective of fines, the precedent has been if you are removed by security from a venue you are banned. When the streaker returned he was evicted by security. Case closed.

[MFKS]

More importantly.

Small about of rain today and some more ocernight.

We going to get another weekend of wash outs as the grass to precious to play on and they softly call it off ??

Maitland v Jets 18s and 20s off apparently

[Goatscheese]

We are all worried about a streaker. I would love to hear anyone who didn't find it funny. Where i was sitting in the grandstand near to some magic people, even they found it quite funny. Surely there are bigger areas to improve than the once in a life time streaker event.

This all just seems petty to me. This rubbish between Edgeworth and Magic is old, who cares? Both seem to be as bad as one another in different ways.

I'm sure if it had happened at Magic Park the howls of disgust on here wouldn't be happening.

[MFKS]

Gee Magic are doing well if they can stack their U20s side with Matt Hoole and Dino Faj every week

Magic have player depth and are playing with NNSWFs guidelines on u20 players
Not sure what your post means?

Think he means, its pretty good when Matt Hoole and Dino Faj are outside your best 11 and playing in U/20s when they would arguably start at most clubs.

[MFKS]

So any scores today??

It 2-1 Magic over Valo at HT here


How many red cards did Adamstown get this week??

[MFKS]

On another note for all our referee fans out there

A foul occurs on half way and you allow the attack to continue the defence cuts the attack out and kicks it out of play for a corner.

So explain why you reward them with going back to the centre circle instead of them defending a corner??

[MFKS]

FT

Magic 3-2 winners

Was pretty impressed with Valo defensively

Their back 4 went well

They were not helped by keeper who probably should have done a lot better for goal 1 and goal 3

And the no 9 goes alright too

[jets04]

I can't believe no one has mentioned Maitland calling off their game today. Very little if any rain this week and Maitland's ground has always been one of the best wet weather grounds. Surely it couldn't have anything to do with having arguably their 3 best players out this weekend?

Another red card for Adamstown, so much for improved discipline this year.

Mate I think you will find if you go back the last 10 years or so that every year we have the luxury of this type of players dropping back.
Players want to play for the club so most are quite happy to drop down from time to time

[cobra23]

6-0 edgy

Heard a very soft pen again for the buds but still no excuse for there Lack of discipline.
Until the send of was told edgy were chasing shadows

6-0 sounds like they were chasing the scoreboard attendant to put the goals up.
Even with 10 men, 6-0 is comprehensive.

1K fine for the streaker. Edgey club on notice if anything further. done. Precedent set.

Dave, Al and Gazza (aka NNSWF) need to grow a set and use the power they have given themselves in the Comp Regs:-

49.2. NNSWF reserves the right at its absolute discretion to direct a Club not to sell or to restrict the sale of alcohol at any fixture under its jurisdiction.

If Northern arent prepared to use the rule why the **** have it in there??? No credibility......

Direct Edgy and other clubs that can't control the fans to stop selling beers and see how long it takes for the clubs to pull their supporters into line. Better still get the licencing cops to do random inspections and issue infringement notices to the licencees

Mickey mouse comp that is under funded and under promoted.

Olympic vs buds tonight,
Tipping Olympic by 3 .
Also short odds on buds having a man sent off.
If it happens Olympic by 6

Olympic 1-0

[Speedymetric]

I thought Adamstown were a little unlucky. A draw was probably a fair result.

Does anyone know what the Pommy at Edgey did to get suspended? He's been out for a while & still out tonight apparently.

What time is kick off tonight?

[MFKS]

6:30pm Jaffas v Edgy

Same same

Lakes v Valo

According to NPL website

Great win for the Jaffas over Edgeworth last night. That's a loss and a draw for Edgeworth in their first 3 games. Has the bubble burst ?
Are they missing Keanu ?

Just shows how ****ing pathetic these grounds are.

Part of a day of rain and it called off.

Really wish clubs were made to invest in there facility to make it playable after the sprinklers go on rather than piss away 50-100k a year paying players

Well maybe Northern should actually be addressing the sub standard playing facilities.

Let's remember it was 35C on Wednesday so any prior railing should have evaporated.

It hasn't exactly been flogging down for 4 days since either

Finished 3-3 but that more a reflection on the weaknesses of both teams defensively than a reflection on a quality game.

sources tell me windy hill was in the best it ever looked mid week, last week for the youth games, so to call off senior games.. the jaffas groundsman must maintain windy hill as well ???
how many players out last weekend

[GO AWAY]

I must say, the positioning of the Jets keeper for the first Azzurri goal was pretty ordinary ??? Did save two penalties but, just lost his bearings I think. Keepers in here may like to add, as ive never been one, but looks very out of position ?

I queried a former "pathway" keeper about exactly this last year. Said that's how they're being taught to now.

Now Thommo, playing in the geriatric exhibition game at Gosford?
probably better performance than the main event..

Jets Youth 2-4 Maitland. Dominant performance from Maitland despite being 2-0 down very early in the match.
