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.Quote:

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 ?
Piggo my tip for first sacking
Got to have a B replacement who is keen to drive to Weston- might just save him
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 opinionQuote:

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 weekQuote:

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
"Longer development perspective"? Please are you serious? They want to win at all times, they cannot be happy ATMQuote:

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?
Ok Immersion , i will say it. He has massively underachieved in the last 2 years.Quote:

Did Valo manage to pick up anyoneQuote:

FT
Jaffas 2
Jets Yoof 0
Mitch Oxborrow returns to Magic
The key to Magic really challenging for the comp IMO. They move from top 4 to challenges now.Quote:

Amazes me how people keep saying Olympic have a bunch of youngsters this season and wont be in the mix
Hodges Mooney Petit Bertos Cooper Lucas have been around plenty
Green Davies Pappas McGuiness have been playing at this type of level for a number of years as well
Beats me how they keep getting refereed to as rookies and kids looking at the future and not now
Maitland 2
Lakes 0
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.Quote:

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 moraleQuote:

Ry Griff
Kantarovski
Hammell
Hay
Jobe
Crowley
Am i missing anyone ??
But that some talent in the front 6 positions and reality is nearly half cant start and most wont play in prefered positions
Seem to be a problem of too many options for Pascoe and he dont know his best side
Magic 4
Jets Yoof 2
This i did sse
Heard Buds beat Edgy at Jack McLaughlin 1-0 today though sounnds like BS to me
No BS here member. Adamstown 1-0 winnersQuote:

Who will CCB chase as replacements for Goody and McNaughton? Surely there is no one left ?
They do not need replacements. They are on top of the league.Quote:
