Compromised solution offered by clubs instead of jamming 2 rounds into short season as didn't want mid week games.
Wasn't too far wrong now with only 3 points difference between 3rd and 7th spots and also only 2 goals between them all in goal difference.
Got to watch Jaffa’s v Azzurri today, Jaffa’s dominated early but Azzurri shame plan was spot on, defended in numbers and kept a great shape all game, they constantly worried the Jaffa’s with quick breaks against the run of play, Jaffa’s dead set missing an out and out striker, players playing out of position to complement others just doesn’t work, at times some of their football was brilliant with no result, Archibald did well in goal for Azzurri and deserved the points easily, Law clearly out coaching Pascoe today
Good analysis.Quote:

Went and watched Maitland today,they aren't the same side without both Swans playing. Crowley and Thompson good for Maitland up front, but Cumerford and Woods offer little going forward and less in defense. Can't see how they make the starting side each week,throw Clarke in there.
Can't see them making the top 5 the way they are playing.
Azzurri not much better.
Renee Ferguson best on field by far
How anyone can play football on that pitch is beyond me,Quote:

Seriously, in 2 years at the club they have won their first ever premiership, made their first ever grand final and made the last 32 of the ffa cup. What more do you want. I agree they are not going well this season ,but which recruits are not working. The only recruit I see is Braeden Crowley the rest of the team were all there last year, they just have no depth.Quote:

If this forum had its way, no club would have coaches as they’d be sacked every loss.
Maitland were the better team in the second half after a fairly even first. Azurri got a lucky hand ball penalty and convert a header from a corner and got away with a fairly lucky 3 points.
So you have intimate knowledge of the club and the old TD do you ?Quote:

Chris Gallagher from Magic is the 2021 TD at Maitland, now I hear he is ‘rubbish’
Any word on the make up of the 2 groups as yet.
Whats this about?Quote:

Fixtures haven’t been released yet.
With these pools two team will have a bye each week. Surely the federation just make these two sides play each other??
Probably not though cause that would be too logical...
From what I understand -Quote:

To make up the rest of the comp rounds you'll be pooled with one team from each group.
For example if it was all odds:
Edgy, Olympic, Jaffas, Azzurri & Rosebuds will be in one pool and play all the teams once to close out the rest of the regular season fixtures.
EDIT - From a club facebook page
Following Round 9 of the Northern NSW Football NPL Northern NSW Senior competition yesterday, a live draw was held this morning via zoom by Northern NSW Football to divide the competition into two groups.
The results of the draw are as follows.
GROUP A:
Broadmeadow Magic FC
Weston Workers FC
Lambton Jaffas FC
Charlestown Azzuri FC
Lake Macquarie City Roosters FC
Group B:
Edgeworth Eagles FC
Newcastle Olympic FC
Maitland FC
Valentine Eleebana FC
Adamstown Rosebud FC
Fixtures for this weekend's Round 10 will be confirmed later today with the Rounds 11-14 to be confirmed over the next few days as feedback is sought from clubs on date/day preferences.
The fixtures will be the same for NPL First Grade and Reserve Grade.
Thanks. I thought season was over.Quote:

Predictions For The Round?
Lakes vs Magic (Magic to strong for Lakes)
Weston vs Jaffas (Jaffas aren't leaking goals as much, so jaffas in a close one)
Olympic vs Edgeworth (Edgy to be to consistent for Olympic
Rosebuds vs Maitland (hardest round to pick for me. Maitland to get back in their rhythm. Their quality inches them above A'town)
Valentine BYE
Azzurri BYE
Lakes vs Magic (Magic easily)
Weston vs Jaffas (Jaffa's - especially if Carter is out again)
Olympic vs Edgeworth (Draw - Edgy have been grinding out results especially with late goals but I think this one will be all square)
Rosebuds vs Maitland (Maitland)
Valentine BYE
Azzurri BYE
Lakes vs Magic - 0-4
Weston vs Jaffas - 1-3
Olympic vs Edgeworth - 0 -2
Rosebuds vs Maitland - 0-0
Tell you lads, great game of football at lakes yesterday.
3-2 in the end to the mighty magic ..
But lakes probably deserved more out of it. Being 2-1 up with 10 to go then copping a winner with 30 secs left ..
But that’s football ..
But seriously though that ref was up there with probably the worst I have seen in this league .. wow
Buds V Maitland today reserve grade was the worst reffing I have ever seen. 5-1 Maitland.
Ref gives them a penalty and free kick which were not fouls. Another goal their striker takes out the goalkeeper and scored.
Adamstown turned down two clear penalties and had an offside goal incorrectly given against them.
Should have ended 5-1 to Adamstown.
Complete disgrace by the refs and the match fees should be refunded to players.
So it's the refs fault you lost 5 - 1, WowQuote:

Wasn't there either buddy , but I'll take your word for it. Just don't like refs being blamed for a result, but if he was that bad ??Quote:

Unfortunately the standard of reffing is poor across the entire league but then again the football isn’t exactly world clas eitherQuote:
