Edgeworth were better than Magic today. They could be real contenders for the premiership.
Azzurri game sounded pretty straightforward for them. No red cards so they'll be happy

Anyone checked in on the eagles? They want back in on the second division yet, hurts to say this but they’ll be severely found out this year.

Why would they want back into the 2nd div? Are you that thin skinned personally, or maybe can’t see the bigger picture?
The Foley era in newfm seems a distant memory for some. I remember the 23s keeper coming on on the field for firsts in a game.
Short timeframe later they made established newfm clubs look like the pub teams they actually are.
They’re a good club and they’ll have a plan on how and when to build - but without promotion and relegation, in a league where 50% of the players are state league Sydney qualify at best… why would you spend money to recruit? They’re giving the lads that won the league over and over the right to have a shot in the league above. They’re not spending club money on overpriced wannabes in newy football, they’re building their infrastructure and securing financials off the pitch… what do you want clubs to do lol?
Compete 🤷*♂️Quote:

Its been 2 games.You do realise that Lakes,Valo,Olympic just to name a few will also get found out this year.Just pay attention to the clubs that are improving and how they are doing it,a bit of patience might be good for everyone.To be fair some people in and around the place talked up their chances a bit especially in youth but most people there are aware of the challenges ahead.Quote:

Wow, why so defensive, I answered a simple question, I expect all clubs to do the sameQuote:

What an absolute joke, there is not the quality in England for a 20 team Premier League comp.
They need to reduce the amount of teams if there are scorelines like this.
Which is why there aren't enough refs, hopefully, Northern allocates refs to teams that aren't getting reds and yellows for abuse and those that do have to live with the consequences of 1 or 2 refs.Quote:

I think I outlined it in my previous post but eating the metaphorical cow dung for a few years while you build appropriately is the club friendly way to do it. With no relegation, they can spend money on infrastructure and development until that threat finally actually exists.
When the eagles joined the npl everyone cried that they’d be another low tier team spending unjustified money on a small talent pool. They actively don’t do that and give youth and existing players a chance (their ressies have a handful club juniors of 10+ years) and you still badmouth them. Newy football huh?
I’m not bad mouthing anyone , what you on about you joker, no matter who you put on the pitch all you can ask is that they compete, its obvious you don’t understand my comment. There’s no points given out for having long serving clubman eitherQuote:

No one’s denying the plan, you questioned my comment and now you are deflecting elsewhere, all I said was teams need to compete and you attacked me 🤷*♂️Quote:

I don’t think FR’s opinion differs to yours or anybodies opinion. Everyone wants a competitive comp full of teams that can put in some good performances. Nobody wants teams to struggle, or 1 team to run away with it.
Honestly, I think the bigger red flag will be if NL club can avoid finishing last. Other clubs (bar cooks Hill) have had 10 years to get their shit together, without fear of relegation. If NL are in a better position on or off the field than any other club, there should be serious questions asked.
Not deflecting at all, you said you donÂ’t win points for playing clubmen and I clarified my initial statement about their ressies team being lads of 10+ years at the club to demonstrate that I mean kids who are 20yo not old fellas who have spent 10 years in seniors. I just think itÂ’s a commendable thing to do.Quote:
