Ok lads. Time to get the conversations going in relation to this ZFL2 competition.

With the high flyers gone, this is going to be one of the most competitive years we will have seen in this division in years.

Teams in this years competition are

Southern United
Norths United
Bolwarra Lorn
South Maitland
Cooks Hill
New Lambton
Lambton
Mayfield Juniors
Minmi
Merewether Advance
Croudace Bay crabs
Nelson bay

How do you think each team will fare?

My thoughts Top 4 will be
Southern
Croudace Bay
Norths
Cookers

Relegation Battle between
Merewether Advance,
South Maitland
Mayfield Juniors.


Any one with I go on how the rams are travelling in their preseasons?

Heard Southern have lost a fair few players- will be interesting to see how the fare as they have been a top team the last few years in ZL.

Who are the rams?

Bolwarra looks sharp this year. They signed so many quality players. Reserve grade NPL level players. Let's see how they go this weekend v West Wallsend.

Lambton Juniors 5- Merewether united 1

I have seen Lambton Juniors play 4 times in the last 2 years, but today was the best I've seen them play. For a pre season game they were extremely sharp with some new additions to there squad. For Merewether we cop that on the chin and move on, I think you learn more from your loses then wins. Some important players to come back in will certainly help, But Lambton showed they will be a force in zl2

Zultan

Went down and watched Minmi Vs Hamilton this afternoon.
Reserve Grade was won by Hamilton, I think it may have been 4-2.
First Grade was also won by Hamilton, apart from a poor back pass in the first half and a goalkeeper error, Minmi I think were quite strong and probably should have won. Minmi looking like getting there club back on track with some great additions.

Croudace Bay will win this league by a a decent margin. They will have promotion locked in by round 17 is my prediction. It's a real pity Stockton went up, they are a ZL2 club and Croudace Bay are more a ZL1 club.

I know Jesic is getting older, But would find it bizarre if the Captain of the best team in NSW NPL dropped to a 4th division club in NNSW. I think it must be Jaffas NPL.

Not change in players, in fact you?d say on paper they?ve gone backwards but new coach has worked well with improving their structure. Their preseason results looked solid so never expected them to be in any relegation battle BUT mayfield surely are favourites for the spoon.

Bolwarra 2-1 Nelson bay

You expecting Mayfield to have a good game? :)

I think being midweek with Southern having to travel will make Mayfield look ok tonight,

I have watched them in a trial and spoke to some officials from another game, they look to be a shambles. Very ill disciplined, which appears to start from the coaches box.

Not sure that the culture at southern is much better. I?ve heard they had 2 on the bench for ressies but still played with 10 men and didn?t use the sub when they had injury and went down to 9.. have to wonder why the subs were there in the first place! Lots of bickering amongst eachother in the first grade side too. I think they?ll win but not sure it?ll blowout massively. Match of the catchup round for me

Why would Mayf want to stay in this division. div 2 or 3 doesnt matter.

Finished bottom last year and struggled to get players this year so were never a chance of bettering their 18-56 goal difference from last year. Go down and enjoy the year.

If Bolwarra are as good as most people seem to be saying, they'll do a number on the bay right?

I think your right, will tell us exactly if the bushrangers are as good as the mail is saying. The Bay got done by Mayf in Aus cup and round 1 didn?t dominate until the final 10 minutes.

This backs up my previous thoughts, that Bolwarra just versed an easy team (Mayfield) and they'll struggle against any half decent team in ZL2. I'm going to back the Bay to put this Bolwarra "mail they are half decent" in the bin.

Bolwarra 1-0 Nelson Bay.
I guess your previous thought wasn't quiet right. Bolwarra can only play whoever is in front of them.
4 games (2 wins), 1 draw away with Southern and 1 loss (1-3) to league favourite (Crabs).
Let's see if they get any mention in next week's Bar TV Podcast. If they don't, I might think you are the lad who is running that show.

Mate I don?t know where you?re getting this information but I can tell you it?s false. I know life at robins oval may get boring but get a life and stop reporting crap. Wasn?t surprised to see you not come and have a chat when I was in the canteen at jesmond park the other week.

My understanding is they were taking photos of him in gear to promote the signing which will occur at the start of next season pending lambton moving to Zone league 1.

Short description of each teams start to the season after 5 rounds

1. Crabs (15)... Unbeatable (best ZL2 team ever??)

2. Norths (12)... Revitalised

3. Bolwarra (10)... Underdogs

4. Cooks Hill (9*)... More to come from these lot

5. Jaffas (9)... Inconsistent start; waiting for Jesic to save the day

6. Southern (7*)... Clocking up the mileage

7. Nelson Bay (6)... Doing well for a promoted side

8. Merewether (6)... ZL2 staples

9. New Lambton (6)... Always forget they are here

10. Minmi (3)... Eh

11. South Maitland (3)... Eh.2

12. Mayfield (0)... Relegated

I?d say

1.Crabs as predicted - getting promoted and will see Bolwarra in the grand final.
2. Norths - Had an easy run and taken advantage of it. I expect Crabs to beat them comfortably.
3. Bolwarra in promotion fight with Crabs. This clubs impressed me a lot.
4. Cooks Hill will make finals, lack the quality of Crabs and Bolwarra.
5. Jaffas mid table just miss finals
6. Southern, will make finals if they can win enough at home.
7. Bay very good for a promoted side can see them sneaking 5th.
8. Mereweather Mid table at best
9. NL. Average team just lucky there?s worse teams in the league to fight relegation.
10. Minmi, very lucky mayfield will keep them up.
11. South Maitland, they don?t understand what it takes to compete in this league.
12. Mayfield, need to go down and start again.
