Haha players from both teams have stated on here they thought the first goal was offside.
Pretty sure I read mussy complaining about a goal they thought was offside in the first round. Sounds like there is a crack in your glass house

could say the same about mussy atm.
only have to bring up the first few pages to see mussies complaints about a non offside ruling, and yet continually bring up westlakes complaining about a mussy refs ruling when even some of your players have said offside.
if you guys didnt keep brining it up it would be over by now lolz
Seeing as no one has written about the westlakes matches ill give it a crack.. Reggies for westlakes were sloppy in defence and were lucky to have their keeper stay on the park after he took out a player outside the box near the sideline. Hamiltons goals came of the back of well earnt fouls and it was a good tough match. Firsts.... Was tighter than the score line shows went to half time at 0-0 game got very physical in the second half but was good to see because it was a tough close match. When the slow cb scored the 2nd with a nice header off a corner that's when westlakes started to look in control and with about 10 mins remaining got a couple of goals on the counter to blow out the score. Good match with a bit of fire from both sides. Looking forward to the away trip.

Typical westlakes response, always trying to pass the buck[/QUOTE]
I think you mean muswellbrook. U guys have referenced westlakes in just about every one of your posts.
Of course The Butcher meant Muswellbrook. That's why he wrote Westlakes. He's weird like that.
Apparently the Westlakes CB was actually jumping for the corner before the one he scored off. It just took him so long to get of the ground that play had gone on, and another corner given. That corner hit him cleanly and luckily went in ;-)
Ressies was a good match. Good summary. Hamilton will feel hard done by not having keeper sent but I think the elephant touch by the striker was the only thing that saved him. Also after having a player sent in the last 5 with a straight red. I was bewildered as to why until I read the report to confirm what I was later told.
I enjoyed chatting to their ressies players which was a suprise to the contrast of their First grade. Keeper is quality and IMO should be their first grade keeper. Both teams had a chance to get a third. Westlakes with a pen shout that woulda been soft but by the book was a pen. Hamilton with the last play of the game from a keeper fumble. Draw fair result tho.
Disagree with the first grade summary tho. Hamilton were quality in first 20 but dropped off after that. Pretty sure it was 1-0 at break.
It was about 3-0 when it started to get heated. At 4-0 with 10 to go coach told our bench players (no subs used) to have a shower with one to cover for injuries.
Ahh k I must have missed the first half goal. Yes Hamilton were very good in the first 20. Was a good game all the same from my view
it was 0-0 at half time
Olympic will be a tough team to break down this year. their biggest enemy will be themselves though
their number 21, the smaller striker, is a weapon. a delight of a guy to play against too. to all the slow cbs out there - good luck with him
Im sorry i disagree Westlakes definitely deserved the win, but 4-0 was not a true reflection of the game. Olympic were the better team in the 1st half in my opinion. But at the end of the day it doesn't matter how much possession you have or how many chances you have unless you win. So good stuff westlakes.
Pretty well agree with everything in here. Firsts was a weird match with Mussy leading 2-0 at the break but then seemingly taking an extra 15 minutes chill time after the interval found themselves at 2-2. Re-gathers themselves late on to take the win. I think Charlestown will be a very strong outfit this season, with some very good individual talent. The only thing that let them down was lack of game time, it was pretty obvious that it was their first hit-out but I expect better things to come for them. Also credit to all the Charlestown lads, the game was played in a really competitive spirit but after the game everyone was happy to have a laugh and a beer, leaving any niggles on the field, which is how it should be. All in all a top bunch of blokes and looking forward to meeting them again in the second round!
Merewether v Charlestown last night.
Res : 2 - 4
1st: 0- 1
Reserve grade: This scoreline should have blown out with charlsetown missing atleast 4 easy chances (by easy I mean 6 yard box tap ins not going in.) in the final 15 minutes of play. Im pretty sure at one point charly were 2-1 down but deservedly walked away with the points as they dominated most of the game.
1st grade: Charly were hot out of the gates putting alot of early pressure on merewethers defence with 3 or 4 good chances that were not finished. half time 0-0, second half charlstown continued to dominate possession and pepper the merewether goal but to no avail. With 10 to go charlestown broke through with the winner and only goal by a cracking strike from about 25 yards into the top right corner. The final 10 minutes merewether put it to a nervous finishing charelstown who adopted a time wasting/kick to the corner mentality but failed to really create anything in the final third.
To be fair charlestown should have walked away comfortable winners but in the end did it tough for the 3 points.
On a side note, I noticed that the merewether goal keeper was intentionally time wasting for almost the entire game (until they were losing). He was trapping the ball instead of picking it up and forcing charlestowns strikers to shut him down before picking it up and playing on. I have never in my life seen this before and found it to be if anything poor sportmanship.
