Haha we had 8 first graders out and 14 in total. Definitely wasn't the same formation and players that I'm talking about .Quote:

BJ didn't play that game. Hence why ill still say that without him dungog would be sitting pretty close to the bottom
Pretty sure that's the 2nd time this year they have conceded 9 goals in a game. Did BJ also not play that game? Did they have a lack of numbers as an excuse for the defending?Quote:

My opinion anyway.
We have a new coach and we started the season with ou current striker and RB, our Curren CM at LB and was playing a 3 at the back. He wanted to push me further up the park, we were getting results but still struggling to gel throughout.Quote:

Lost 3 embarrassing games on the trot, coach knew we had to go back to our original formation that had us speed home last year.
Now we have that RB up front, the LB back in the mids and a few old faces on the backs where they normally play and I play CB with mt cousin.
We have had a 7-1 and 6-0 win, 1-1 hard fought draw after getting screwed over by Simba.
Not including the undermanned stocko game, we only lost to cookers round 1 with our forwards at the backs with me and the cousin.
I will say the guys have been knocking the ball aro

I will say the guys have been knocking the ball around well, we never did that at all last year!
It was get it in defence and just get it up field. I think it's credit to our coach for trying things this year and managing to make us play football better as a team.
Who do you all think will be top 4, fairly safe to say its between cooks hill, Simba and Dungog for the last two spots. I think Simba may miss out, as they probably have the toughest run home.
I think it between you and simba. Cooks hill will finish 3rd I think. Dungog should sneak in there if they are good enough to win on the road.
Hopefully the gog can take points off berro!
The game of the year is next week at finan oval for sure. Huge for the winner!
We would definitely prefer not to have simba there, they are an enigma, you never know which team will turn up on the day, the registered one, or the team that shreds!Quote:

not to sure you can relegated from zl3 but ok!
I don't know where you come off telling me I'm rubbishing anyone or any team. Simply voicing an opinion about the "all star" team and their selections. That is all.Quote:

What's doing on the weekend? Surely game of the round is simba v bero. Poor bero has to play at a shithole like the tech very happy we haven't had to play there this year and hopefully won't (possibly semis). Looks rubbish at the moment. I think bero will get by but simba are really really tough to beat there. Surely if bero win it will make them favourites to finish 1st. Still a couple of difficult midweek trips to dungog and tronno though.
The battle for the spoon goes on with mayf and tronno. Tronno could put the nail in mayfs coffin this week.
Really important game for cookers and dungog this week too! Could be of great importance especially if bero do the job on simba who then woulda lost two on the trot and could be on the slide. Ill pick dungog seeing as though its up there.
Hopefully we can get the job done on Kurri and keep our good home ground record going
Toronto forfeited both games tonight :|
Wins a win mate
pretty ordinary from a team that promised so much in preseason hype!Quote:

Why?Quote:

I just want to say my 2 cents as a player for Toronto this year. I feel that we as a club had every right to optimistic at the start of the season. We were a completely new club with a lot of locals coming back to play for their home team. Our pre-season started fairly well for a start-up club; 2-0 loss to Thornton, shootout loss to Westlakes, 2-1 loss to Cardiff City and defeating Morisset 3-0, all teams in grades higher than us. These competitive games made everyone at the club pretty hopeful that we would have a decent season.
But work, injury, school/uni and desire from some played into the fact that we struggled and trying to bring near 30 players together from scratch is a near impossible task. The talk of the high quality players coming back is true to a certain extent, we have several players who have played first grade in NBN and NewFM but for the majority it was several years ago, some having not kicked a ball during that time. The reason for this is work commitments, not being able to train even once a week was a big killer. Combine this with the young boys who had only played a hand full of games not in u/19s, playing against men for the first time was a big shock.
There are people behind the scenes who work very hard like most clubs but if the players at the club cannot replicate that effort on the pitch we aren’t going to have much success. There is a handful of players who are there every game, try their absolute hardest and even go back to the workies after home games, but a handful isn’t enough. So as Youaskedforit said on the very first page “maybe year two will be there best year”.
Not enough players availableQuote:

The annual grudge match between Toronto and Westlakes is named in his honour.
I understand Beresfield has agreed to a minute silence before games, so thankyou, and hope to get a few extra boys on the hill to try to bring home an upset for Johnny.
Also i second true locals input to our season, has been dissapointing thus far. But plenty to build on.
Worth noting that there were a few hired guns in the Toronto squad solely to play that one game that were never going to, nor wound up, playing for you guys.Quote:

You can't rush these things - all the issues you guys are having, every local team has. Westlakes had 14 players for two grades on the weekend against Medowie, and similar numbers for a few other games over other weekends. And our committee is about 8 strong, average age being around 23 and not one person on the committee older than 28years old - and all being players themselves which makes it the hardest. The important thing is you guys build a healthy club culture, make your current players and committee come back next year, promote any juniors who come of age and skill, and build on that. Just don't steal any Wildcats players :rof:
Apparently they are going to target that Mitch bloke who plays CB for westlakes, heard he is known as the " slow CB " so we need one to fit in with our culture... ;)Quote:

2-0 cooks
2-1 cooks
What can I say, absolutely terrible from us. I'll be first to admit I personally was disgraceful! Worst game I've had in years, and we can never get going against them. Well done to cooks
Stocko v Kurri
Res 1-1 prob had the better of the chances but need to put them away to get the points
Firsts 4-0 Kurri struggled with lack of numbers. Fairly good performance and Kurri keeper surely stopped the score from being double
Mayf ressies got a forfeit.
Mayf firsts 4 nil. Toronto low on numbers and lost another during the game. Toronto did well to keep it at 4. Would have been a tough afternoon with minimal numbers and Mayf couldn't make the most of all the chances!!
Simba Vs Beresfield
Ressies 2-3
Firsts 2-2
Absolute circus!!
Haha I've heard. Welcome to the world that is simba ZL3Quote:

got to say the kurri keeper is the best reaction keeper i have seen in a long time , we have 2 very good keepers at stocko , my son is a 1st grade keeper at the terrace BUT no disrespect to the mentioned he is the differenece in score lines.Quote:

I've heard send offs for threatening the life of the ref and game getting called 5 mins early haha. I'm still nursing stud marks on the back of my knee from last weeks game against them.Quote:
