What is happening at Gypsy Land, 6-1 loss to Lakes !!
Waiting for the Big V’s match report and some insight into Valo 😬Quote:

Luckily we only play Jaffa's and Magic over next 2 weeks.
Might have to focus on FFA cup
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.Quote:

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.
As a Maitland supporter I completely disagree with your comments. I think it was a brilliant move and the Jets should be applauded for it.Quote:

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.Quote:

Pies get 3 points and Yoof continue to blood young talent. Win win!
Maitland 1 Jets 0
Edgy 3 Olympic 2
Magic 4 Adamstown 0
Charlestown 2 Weston 1
Jaffas 0 Valentine 0
Olympic one win from five games and in All Sorts.
Jaffas two points from a possible nine in the last three weeks. Giving Edgy and Charlestown an early lead in the race for the premiership
Tried to say earlier in pre season that Olympic were in all sorts but everyone took the piss !!!! Hahaha
Surely Guinno is under some sort of pressure already !!Quote:

His "Town" record has followed him, on another note, surely all players aren't happy either, especially the ones that have been used to winning.Quote:

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 correctQuote:

I agree. Give the coach some latitude it has only been 5 games.Quote:

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
Released goodchild and smith, 2 of the best strikers in the comp. I’ll take your word for it 😳Quote:

Adamstown are a club rebuilding not Olympic
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.Quote:

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.
Olympic rebuilding? Surely this is not a serious comment.
Heard they lost over 25 players across last years senior playing roster. That would have to involve a lot of rebuilding.
30 players out of 50 listed in Olympic 18s 20s and 1st grade last year are no longer playing there.Quote:

The former coach has a loooooooooong history of taking players club to club, it was always going to happen, can anyone out there list the clubs?Quote:

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
Did Jaffa's sign Brayden Crowley today??- he was at game on weekend and that's the whisper- far out they are almost the 11th A league side - guess they have to do something with that squad they have to be more competitive with the likes of Adamstown and the Big V.......
They must be spending almost $200k on that squad
Yeah
Reports that they’re talking to Jade North too
Also hearing (rumour) Josh Rose from CCM to Edgeworth.
