Wasn't that Synthetic at Darling St? No chance in hell are you getting LMCC to dig up a turf pitch and reinstall it every year. Belmont Cricket have been at Cahill for as long as I've been alive they aren't going anywhere anytime soon.

One would think that Phoenix have learnt from past mistakes and rather than constantly trying to use someone else's ground they would be looking to secure there own Facilities. There is a nice little spot right near Valentine Swimming pool that has plenty of potential I would be banging on LMCC's door asking about if I we're Phoenix.

[DonPablo]

As was the case with Olympic, unless you submit your request with a large sack of dollar bills.councils will not listen.

i think it may have been the case that at olympic the cricket was a low league or junior cricket played. Where as at Cahill oval Belmont District grade cricket is played, big difference.

What does it matter who plays in the 20's. Don't the rules say that you can field 5 overage players in your 20's side ?
If Olympic have a bigger squad and can play these players in their 20's , what a great learning experience for some of these younger players to be playing alongside Stuie and Mooney.

Where does it say there was a problem ? Was just stating. Would be great if ALL clubs had players willing to play down and teach younger ones on the field. Not ALL clubs have this luxury with willing first graders.

Bring Back reserve grade and solve all the problems. if your 19 and good enough. I still don't get this 20's with half overage garbage.

Team sheets show that Casciaroli & Lewis have started on bench for first three games and Sakamoto has started on bench two games
Surely the coaching staff at Azzurri would have wanted these guys to start a Tuesday night 20’s game, get a run in their legs and wouldn’t the players want some game time
They get game time and mix with the younger ones, hopefully teaching them something

If Goodchild is out for 4 to 6 - Lewis will start this weekend wont he??
Why would he play last night and be risked? He started against us in a trial and looked the likely replacement if Goodchild or Smith got hurt

Sakamoto is out injured I'm told by one of the players in 20s- he apparently missed last weeks game and hasn't trained for 2 weeks

Didn't they also have 5 overage players already last night as I heard Matt Minors missed a start due to age limits being hit

Now to the mighty Phoenix- great news on the player front with a couple of good pick ups- here we come.......

Broadmeadow looked the goods for the first 20 minutes and took a deserved lead through James Virgili. After that they coughed up 2 goals before halftime to a very ordinary Bears side. The rest of the match was a scrap as Weston defended stoutly. Magic were bereft of ideas and rarely threatened. I'm going to preface this next comment by saying I'm as big a Bears fan as their is, but my goodness, our fans/supporters/mums are clueless. Are all sides home fans as dumb as ours?

The old park the bus Bears. Get a lead and get everyone behind the ball for the rest of the game. But , credit where it's due. That's 2 wins out of 4. A marked improvement on their 1 win all year last season

What happened in Edgy lower grades ? Are jets that good or just a bad day at office ?

[Unowhoweare]

Broadmeadow simply not good enough on the day. Weston obviously had a game plan and they pressed well to win the ball for their two goals, other then the Virgili goal and maj header the were no clear cut chances created by Broadmeadow and Weston defended super.
Weston obviously need work with the ball but worked to their strengths and played on the counter and worked perfect for the two goals. Trusted their defence to get the job done and they did get the job done.
Big confidence booster and I absolutely love seeing magic get beat as does everyone in the league

You know the drill, 20’s is the roundabout. It’s the mix, 1st graders coming back from injury and getting their rhythm,1st graders been dropped and playing like spoiled brats, 18’s players given a chance and try to hard forgetting how they were playing to be given the opportunity, 20’s is just such a hard place to play,
That’s why Olympic have been strong as a club last few years, not a lot of movement between 18’s,20’s and first.

Interested to hear, how do clubs do there games played statistics, im doing up to date games played, all grades for Azzurri 2009 onwards ( of course ), but say a kid plays 18s and then bench for 20s, is that two games ( two team sheets ) , same for U20 in First grade, is that two games or do you just put them down as one game at the highest grade. Interested how other clubs do it.....

The highest grade that they play on the day is what they get credited for. Even if it is for only 5 minutes. So in Cal Hector's case he gets one 1st grade game.
Otherwise people would be racking up 800 games for the club

[onlooker]

Agree, first grade only, although I thing on the team sheet should count, a sub is representing the club even if he doesn't take to the field.

Should only count if the player takes the field, otherwise a back up keeper could play 100 games without actually taking the field.

That same player only moments before had pulled down blues player in the box as he went for a header. Looked a dangerous and very cheap shot. Surprised it wasn't a penalty as he grabbed player and flipped him on his back.

First Sunday free in a long time and the Lubjo factor drew me to the game, Magic should of had a penalty early on when Lubjo pulled Virgili back when one on one with the goalkeeper, Charlestown should have been awarded a penalty for the incident you mentioned and Lubjo should have seen red for a cheap shot in back play. Magic physio was very animated towards Lubjo's cheap shot.

Then you had the Magic head coach and assistant coach continually throwing a second ball onto the pitch at throw ins to stop the game and waste time due to the ref stopping the game for two balls being on the field. A very poor look for both coaches and the club

I assumed he must have done something but sideline official seemed more interested in telling the Magic number 20 to get back on his feet. Everyone that mattered looked like they thought it was a dive.

Can't comment on the Edgeworth and Weston games but I didn't see the ref do Magic any favours, if anything I thought Charlestown got the better of the calls and yes referee was very lenient on Lubjo, he could have easily been sent for the last man challenge on Virgili early in the game, only thing that saved him I thought was that Virgili stayed on his feet.

and yes referee was very lenient on Lubjo, he could have easily been sent for the last man challenge on Virgili early in the game, only thing that saved him I thought was that Virgili stayed on his feet.

[The Magician]

Magic physio was repeatedly told to leave the field after again time wasting, ref can be heard twice on bartv ( 85min )asking duty officer to remove him...... nothing done at all and physio remained on sideline .. why ??

Wrong... person asked to leave was a Magic supporter that threw a ball at Matt Tull, after Matt he had smashed a ball into the crowd, supporter had stopped the ball from hitting a pregnant woman.

If the referee had asked an official on the bench to leave, why would he restart the game without the official leaving? Thats like giving a red card and playing on with the player still on the field. Nothing was recorded in the match report on any issues with either team.

Magic physio had an issue with the elbow from Ljubo on the young Magic defender which was clear to see by all including the lines-person, which called the ref back. If a player strikes another player in back play in the head, with the ball not within a cooee... how is that a yellow? Young refs must have been starstruck. Truth is Ljubo should have been sent off in 10th minute for last man contact on virgili, looking at the video prob not a pen as contact was first outside box, just, but still last man outside of box DOGSO, red card... escaping 2 reds in one game... thats Grub worthy.

Watching it on bartv.. Ljubo's challenge in the 10th minute on Virgili isn't worth discussing, it was either not a foul or a foul that advantage was played, and Virgili well and truly played (and wasted) advantage. Nothing in that challenge.

[pv4]

Again, just letting you all know. Last man challenges aren't always instant red cards anymore.

Denying an obvious goal scoring opportunity (DOGSO) is still a red card, the only time it isn't is if it happens inside the box and the defender attempted to play the ball. DOGSO outside of the box, whether playing the ball or not, is a red.

But as I posted above, there was no DOGSO foul in the Ljubo/Virgili incident.

Considering the coach had an opportunity last year against a totally out of form Magic side to beat them in the cup quarter finals but played half his 20s team because he wanted to concentrate on the Premiership (that tactic worked well Valo miss the semis and played Magic back into form) I don’t know if that will be his focus.

I'm in hiding- it was really poor with 2 of our best players from the first few rounds on the bench for some reason. First half was just - wow
Considering how well they played at Maitland and how unlucky they were at Olympic it was a fair old reality check

Heard the Jets Youth are once again fielding a 2nd string line up this weekend after players were used in the intraclub game yesterday? Once again disrespecting the local comp!
I totally understand why they had the intraclub trial and thinks it's perfect for the Jets but not being able to have consistency in their starting sides in the NPL gives different teams an unfair advantage.

Year after Year after Year this happens. Appreciate all teams have injuries etc. but it’s not 50%+ of the team. The Jets totally disrespect the competition. Clubs who play them towards the end of the comp will also be advantaged as players used in A League trail matches, FFA Cup etc.

[Texas Ranger]

I believe the Yoof went down 1 nil to a red-hot Maitland team. Jets not playing their top players have mainly u18s and even u16. Since they can't play in finals I'm not surprised they are trying to develop younger players. It looks to me that everyone got something out of this game. Pies get 3 points and Yoof continue to blood young talent. Win win!

Alton, you provide an interesting observation
2017 - Adamstown, 5 wins from 20 games, not sure how many were under McGuinness but I do believe Nick Webb went on a run of wins after taking over
2018 - Hamilton, 1 win from 6 games

As coaching records go, not that impressive, it will be interesting to see what player movements happen in the next transfer window.

McGuiness only had 1 win in 12 games at Adamstown last year i believe before he was replaced by Nick Webb who won 4 from 8. I could be wrong about the amount of games both were in charge but the win column in correct

[Texas Ranger]

Lets get the facts straight. Only 5 games so far for Olympic. 1 win 1 draw and 3 losses all by 1 goal. Not a great record, but given the massive loss of senior players and need to rebuild from scratch, a little latitude before the vultures start circling would be appropriate.

I agree. Give the coach some latitude it has only been 5 games.
But i don't agree with the rest. Rebuild from scratch ? The club were club champions last year. Both 18s and 20s played in the grand final and first grade fell one game short. Why would there need to be a rebuild.
As for the massive of senior players , this was facilitated by the club and coach. The coach signed the squad wanted and released the older players not in his plans.
He has assembled his squad so at least give him time to get results before everyone calls for his head

No questions Adamstown are rebuilding. No way the jaffers are in a rebuilding year. I think any coach in the league would love their playing roster. They just couldn't get the job done against A'town and Valentine.

And Valentine are not in rebuilding phase, they are probably trying to build upon last year which will be difficult.

I also think Hamilton have a very good squad and their performances this year are not up to scratch. Guinno should have realised they need a striker desperately after 2 consistent goal scorers left.

[Alton]

Olympic rebuilding? Surely this is not a serious comment.

[Texas Ranger]

Heard they lost over 25 players across last years senior playing roster. That would have to involve a lot of rebuilding.

No, you were throwing shade at him. Grant Brown only ended up there when things didn't work out at Azzurri, The Swans were not required at Olympic and the other kid left when he was squeezed out of the pecking order at Olympic. Hardly a pied piper scenario.

From the outside the previous Olympic Coach didn't do a lot wrong did he when he left. Its not like he took the squad with him , his best players went back to Charlie and I agree with your comments on the 4 that did end with him??
Don't know his history much as he was always at Olympic sinse I've been watching- but,wasn't he sacked / replaced or whatever anyway by Olympic?

surely when 30 plus players leave he must have had a fair bit of loyalty there so maybe the Olympic preparation for his departure should have been to talk to a few players first before they moved him on?

There is plenty of chatter that a few more are not happy and I am sure if a few of them want a gig in orange they would be more than welcomed

Crowley would have been better off approaching Olympic they are short of strikers, would be guaranteed more game time. He will now compete with the Grithers boys, Browny and Remo or maybe they will sit out.

Seen a fair bit of Jaffas this year and the Griffo brothers are getting on a bit. For mine shouldn’t be carrying both of them in the squad. Both no doubt quality players but not both of them with where they’re at in their careers. Give me Remo, Brown and Crowley any day in the front third. And with one of the Griffos added in for experience (bit like McBreen who doesn’t play all games), they’ll be better off.

Don't know Aden well enough to ask why he left but he had started most games and had only been subbed a couple of times I reckon- went on at half time in the Lakes debacle.
Heard at work today he was signed as Casciaroli replacement and will be going into PPS but that wasn't from a Charlie fan it was from a guy who plays at Kahibah- who knows but I guess we will see next week when new PPS rosters come out

Got told today that unless you are listed in an NPL clubs PPS you can’t play in FFA Cup this never use to be the case in previous seasons. This is reason Nick Thompson has left Maitland and gone to Thornton. Does anyone know if that’s fact or was the puppet master at Maitland telling some porky pies?

So in your theory Johnno are you saying that Maitland approached Nick Thompson and said you can't play FFA CUP with us Nick so you best leave the club and go and sign with Thornton so you can play in the cup with them ?

Most clubs are signing 15 or 16 players for their first grade squads nowadays hamburgler. He may have been signed as a first grade player but this doesn't mean he is guaranteed a starting spot does it ?
It becomes a players decision to either stay at a club and fight for a starting 11 spot or take the easy option and move on to a lesser side or a lower division in search of first grade time. It looks like Nick Thompson chose the latter.
Realistically it is happening across the whole league and coincides with the first transfer window opening on Monday.
Thompson isn't the only player moving because of game time in firsts.
Casiarolli leaving Charlestown because he is on the bench every week.
Bailey leaving Olympic because he is playing 20's.

Not disputing your comments and agree with everything you have said. However the reason the player was told he couldn’t play in the FFA Cup and the catalyst for him leaving was that he had to be in PPS which is incorrect from what was posted earlier and therefore he was lied to by the Maitland Coach but hey wouldn’t be the first time that coach has not told the whole truth.

Guinno is a quality coach and has the results at both NPL level and in developing young players. Given a bit of time he will turn Olympic around. They might not finish in top half of table this year but I’m hearing the Olympic committee agreed from the start of his appointment that they were happy to take a longer development perspective. They have quality junior teams and coaches which they will see the benefit from over the next few years. I think Olympic are going through a bit of short term pain now but will reap the rewards a little bit down the track.

He has a great record over the last 18 months.
One win in 12 games at Adamstown and jumped ship 6 months into a 3 year contract to join a " bigger " club.
Moved onto Olympic who have been perennial finalist for the last 20 odd years. Moved on a lot of senior players , just like he did at Adamstown. Signed plenty of former Jets or Mariners youth players , just like he did Adamstown.
And now has one win in 6 games at Olympic and they sit in 10th place. How long do you think Hamilton will be happy with sitting at the opposite end of the table compared to what they are use to.
How long will this rebuild take ?

Yes last year his squad “over achieved” but they had A reasonable squad, what I question is his ability to maintain a squad
Ok he lost the Americans but also Minors , now he has lost Gardner
A club with the financial ability of Valentine should be able to attract quality players, but maybe the problem is with coaching staff ?
Just putting it out there, why can’t Valo attract players

As for McGuinness I think he will survive, long term plans, I’ve heard of a few players that have been approached for next year, most are youngish but are quality and in line with the plans

Experience/senior players beat youthful players in this comp everyday of the week

[the big V]

What about Sills , is he under pressure Big V or is it a developmental year at Valentine. Although he did over achieve with his squad last season in my opinion

Yeah look I know it looks ugly but with an ounce of luck we beat Maitland and really should have beaten Olympic. Even on Saturday both goals by Magic were great finishes. Good draw with Jaffas as well thrown in there
Only ugly game was lakes- and it was real ugly but every coach deserves a chance.
I also reckon having the bye first round is a huge disadvantage as you just lose all momentum from trials

Dan Minors got promised the world by Magic and didn't leave on good terms and still not sure why Aden G packed it in to go up the HWY but both came to play so at least we are attracting some guys- just got to keep them now or keep developing kids through juniors
I would also love to see a top shelf player come in and lead the club around- like most of the better clubs now have

Big question mark is who replaces any coach under pressure at the moment as they need the licence etc

We will win this weekend by 3 and that will help and remember we did touch up Charlie 5 1 in a trial and we have them the following week so it could be 2 from our next 2 and all the pressure is off

[Alton]

Guinno is a quality coach and has the results at both NPL level and in developing young players. Given a bit of time he will turn Olympic around. They might not finish in top half of table this year but I’m hearing the Olympic committee agreed from the start of his appointment that they were happy to take a longer development perspective. They have quality junior teams and coaches which they will see the benefit from over the next few years. I think Olympic are going through a bit of short term pain now but will reap the rewards a little bit down the track.
"Longer development perspective"? Please are you serious? They want to win at all times, they cannot be happy ATM

[immersion]

I agree. Other than a recognised striker they have a pretty good squad.

I don't think M Bolch is complaining at this very moment. He got sacked at Olympic for a pretty decent job most would say. Unlucky not to win a title or two while at an Olympic, he just ran into a good Edgeworth side. Bolch has had to bring in players albeit some from Olympic, though some have pointed out they weren't wanted by the club anyway.

So one might say Maitland are doing pretty well with some Olympic rejects? I also think Maitland are short of an out and out striker too.

Mcguiness's reputation is up on a high peddle stool, when do we start to say he has massively underachieved over the past 2 years?

was pretty confident we had him but then Magic weighed in. Last I heard he stayed at Olympic in the end after numerous meetings with other clubs so he must have got talked around I guess.

Haven’t been that concerned about Olympic myself, they have a good mix of experience and youth. As well as a coach who can pull it together

So those that were calling for ginno’s Head a few weeks back would now have to be calling for Pascoe’s

Jaffas certainly not performing to the level we had expected, so many guns up front so few goals, Crowley very underwhelming seemed like he thought he was going to carve this league up, time will tell but we will need to work harder

For the $$$ they have spent and the squad that Pascoe has assembled they are massively underachieving. Have just added 2 more players in Crowley and Finn Parriss to their squad as well.
They have too much depth to be sitting 7 points from the lead. They should be leading the competition by as many.
Are Jaffas in all sorts ?

I think when Jobe comes back from injury that will help them no end but the constant influx of players must be a concern to squad morale

Players like to know where they stand selection wise and just looking at their side

3 wins on the trot, the McGuiness noose has loosened, Cansdell-Sheriff has won a reprieve, also with 3 wins (FFA cup and 2 big NPL scalps), Pascoe and Sills must be feeling the heat.

I jinxed the Jaffas clean sheet but it still finished Maitland 2-3 Jaffas. On a side note, Matt Thompson and the Maitland keeper need ****ing muzzles. The first because he’s one of the most disrespectful players towards the ref I’ve heard in a while and for the keeper because he doesn’t stop screaming at his players for the entire game.

Trott? No wonder he’s used to yelling at his teammates. Was ****ing annoying though and no doubt the players tune it out most of the time. When they aren’t they’re too busy turning around to figure out what he’s talking about and not focusing on the game.

Heard a whisper on the hill this arvo that Maitland used 5 players outside their PPS list if so it’s against the rules if they did do that and didn’t get approved by Federation. Jafs were looking into it if correct could alter result to 3-0.

I have no idea how this works but I would have thought all the registered players should come under whatever the PPS limit is. So how can they select a starting XI that falls outside of it?

[Fairgo]

Some poor referreeing today at Olympic!! First goal ref gives a free kick outside of box for a handball from goalkeeper and gives him a yellow. He then refers to his assistant to be told it was inside the box. So how is then a penalty rewarded?? I thought a goalie is allowed within the box to touch the ball. Last goal just bad sportsmanship. Lessons learnt PLAY TO THE WHISTLE.
Overall a very even entertaining game a draw would have been a fair result.

Firstly

The ref got it right eventually

Virgili beat the keeper to the ball.

The keeper got Virgili.

Why it wasnt a pen straight away god only knows.

The linesman was 100% correct it was in the box by about 3metres

Ref by and large was incompetent all game really.

There was 1 play where 3 Olympic players could have got a yellow for hacks on Kale with 2 cast iron yellows in them

No one got one.

Then he books Simon Mooney for an innocuous foul that was a free kick but no more.

Go figure why he was blowing up


As for the last goal.
Magic had the ball as Dino Faj was on the ground. They are entitled to do what they want with it.
They chose to play on and caught Olympic sound asleep and square at the back

Exactly what Olympic can complain about has me perplexed.
It was a well worked goal.

TBH the 4-2 result flattered Olympic. Magic were a lot better defensively bar 2 shoddy bits of defending which got punished.

Was a pretty solid domibant performance from them I thought

Have since had a chance to look at rules on Northern website. Club is allowed to bring in up to 4 players from outside the 20 to 23 named in the PPS. Pies today apparently brought in 5 so that was what the talk was about up there today. Their ok if got approved before the game if not could be in trouble.

Agree ref was largely incompetent all game for many reasons. My question if a ref calls a decision even though it was wrong for a handball outside the box and gives a yellow for that decision and then awards a penalty for a different offence? which I think the goalie is entitled to go for the ball and they collided. I am a neutral and viewed the game as pretty end to end with no real dominance. I will have to watch the replay to see if I can see your view of dominance.
You are right they are entitled to do what they want. The players had stopped magic players were calling for the ball to be kicked out. 99% of the time the ball would be kicked out. In my eyes and may be my eyes only that is poor sportsmanship.
