I agree, being a keeper myself you can definitely see what is happening all over the park.. I know I always have something to say at the halftime chat as Iv seen something others on the field may not have.Quote:

As well as some lighthearted banter to go with it that we all know they are good for. Someone better tell them now to not kick the ball out of play when 1 up at Suburbs though.
3 up**Quote:

Agreed X, this looks like it will be a tough comp again. Uni combining their teams you'd imagine would be strong. Suburb() if they keep that same team really should win the thing and I'm still shocked they didn't last year. Wallsend, according to the ZPL thread, have lost their coach so I assume are a bit of an unknown. Terrace will be looking again to add another Grand Final and arguably more to their trophy cabinet for sure. And Azzuri, if able to keep the team together, have a squad that I reckon rivals Suburb() so they'll be phenomenal - wait sorry if you talk to the Azzuri boys they're fully ready for the battle to #survivethedrop :rof: looks like a tidy comp and a win for most that there are so few trips up the valley!
Makes sense too apply. Guess you guys are hoping for another morrisset of last year happening now.Quote:

Yep, very curious to see where this site is and what’s planned. Any hints butcher? No need to hide anything if it’s all acquired anyhow!Quote:

Can't wait to see the Zlatan running around in the (sky?) blue of Azzuri in 2018, on the brand new pitch at Stade de Azzuri.
At this stage it looks like we'll have a temporary home ground whilst "Il Bordello" (the brothel) is being constructed, at this stage that doesn't look like being Smith Park.Quote:

as a resident of one of the Hamiltons I would be very pleased to not be associated with these types
I never really thought to stare at the opposition and decide whether I found them attractive or not either during a game or prior to kick off.. I guess I was too scared about running around the field with a raging boner that still wouldn't be visible through my football shorts to ever try it out...Quote:

Is this a common thing and I have been missing out on this all along?
How large of a negative number did I score when we played you last Butcher?:popcorn:
I only do it post game, when everyone is all sweaty.Quote:

Not that there would be anything wrong with that.

They are by far the ugliest, only ever since Muswellbrook moved all there players on.Quote:
