There is going to be some very crucial games coming up that should shape the competition.
Getting in early with my tips for next week;
Adamstown vs Singo
Toronto vs Maitland
Thornton vs Belswans - Draw
Cessnock vs Westy
When is the first competition decider between Maitland and Adamstown?
Round 9 and 20
The comp wide open for anyone to seize?? Hardly believe so after seeing all teams play. Maitland look too strong in 19s and 1st, 23s may be a closer compQuote:

I sat through quite a bit of these games:Quote:

A few defensive lapses on both sides and a few decent attacking moves. But generally a disappointing game from both sides really.
U23's Rosebuds dominated far more than scoreline appears. With two U19's backing up in starting lineup and another 2 as the bench (All of whom showed quite capable of bettering their Thornton opponents) this really was an average showing by Thornton and definately showed a lack of depth for their 1st grade for the season.
1st was even worse.... 2 nil down after 8 mins Thronton were never in the game. After 15 mins Carter's only involvement was shouting at his team mates, as they jogged back after scoring their third, not to slacken off. On corners Thornton looked terrible, poor choices from their keeper was not helping a situation where they were being easily dominated either. Only plus I found was that Thornton had ample volunteers at the ground for the day. On the field there was nothing to be happy, impressed or positive in the future over. The foot was off the pedel for Rosebuds even before half time, this could have been the chance to really hammer home a goal difference early into the season (and by that I mean 10 plus was not out of the questions mid way through the first half if the continued at that early pace).
The facility........ it would seem the promises made when kept in New Fm are not being kept with any real speed. No parking, no covered seating (and no guys a few chairs in front of the beer window does not count as covered seating and in fact there is hardly any seating of any sort full stop in fact, cricket pitch had fresh top soil covering about 7-8 squares metres at either end. IF that ground cant be made into a football field then the club should be given a choice/chance to move to a ground they can work with or to drop down and allow a club willing to move forward on their facilities into the competition.
No club is expected to do things in one season but the clubs like Thronton and Belmont seem to have made so little progress full stop from season to season in even trying to meet any of the required improvements. After seeing Belmont and now Thornton 2 weeks in a row I am nearly ready to feel sorry for clubs like Mayfield, who voluntered to be dropped from 2nd to 3rd Div when the critieria was first proposed becasue they knew there was no way they could meet such needs as covered seating, score boards, parking etc, when I now see clubs that have been given the opportunity yet seem to be have done so little in nearly 20 years in Belmonts case.
Belmont Swansea will be waiting for the VPFC merger for the money to do ground developments. I maybe wrong (more often than not I am) but from what I've seen and heard Thornton are a club with a pub side mentality.Quote:

I havent seen the surface this year but usually it is good, apart from the pitch. (better than singo anyways)..
Its a different ground and yes cant compare to rosebuds, but really not many clubs can.... Effort is being put in to improve, but easier said than done, finances and councils...
Belswans have lots of parking around the outside of the pitch, plus Demon, you obviously haven't seen or been in the new changing room/referee facility that has been added. The pitch may not be in the greatest shape but there won't be many games on tonight after this rain.....
