Why wouldn't they come here. On a dollar per mins played basis Andy Brennan would be on as good if not better coin than Messi or Ronaldo. :gent:

Jets v hammo today, to be frank couldve been 0-0 1/2 time, also couldve been 2-2. Hammo slotted all their chances, jets couldnt hit the side of a bus. Jets intensity 1st half was good, 2nd half dropped off, hammo put queue in the rack and still did it easy. Goodchild looks like he does nothing but slots 3. Says something. Jets need defensive experience, the lads try and 16 yr old rb matches physicality with anyone. Main problems are cb and striker for mine. The jets looked ok today and scoreline not a fair indication of the game but a fair indication of the gap in experience, if that makes sense. Jets 8 looks a quality player and would make the grade at any club. What have the jets got to offer guys like this?
19s Magic 5-2
22s Valo 2-1
I'm out at Weston V Maitland it's bout 20mins in and I'm wondering when either team is going to start playing football. Deadset foul after foul.
Maitland take a 1-0 lead BK saves a pen and Broadley taps in rebound.
Brock Oakley sent second Yellow still first half and very little football played.
Edgy 1-0 ht
22s azzuri 2-1
19s Azzuri 3-1
Magic 2-0 up at HT
Valo level it up
Haynes then misses another penalty
Dives in studs up for the rebound. Only a yellow.
FMD
Maitland 3-0 up second was a pen for Heffernan after BK gave away his second pen for the day. Lucky to stay on. And broadly just grabbed his second FROM SOME DECENT FOOTBALL. Weston playing like they are the man down. No idea where they will get there goals from this year other than a Morris free kick.
Full time 3-0 Maitland
U/22's 2-1 Weston
U/19's 4-0 Weston
FT 3-3
Valo scored to make it 3-2 straight after the pen save
Virgili levelled it up with 15 to go
Looks like Weston will claim the spoon. If they continue playing like they did today, they won't grab another point all season
[QUOTE=GO AWAY;152844]Azzuri have more points this year then the whole of last season, they are going well, remember their best four players this season were all out yesterday,( Hughes, Lama and Hudson and Ross went off after 40 )so depth was tested and backed up my statement that there is more depth this year. Big three weeks coming
Came up a long way short in the first week of their Big Three weeks, getting demoralised 6-1 by Edgeworth
It was comical really
Valo for the first 55 mins were not in the game and Magics keeper was untested
5 mins of abysmal defending and 2 goals
They steadied the ship and then another moment of abysmal defending cost them another goal.
I will stick my ground and say that for the most part it has improved considerably. They are still though far too sloppy at times
The coaches insistence on playing 3 attackers never pushing back and never offering much in defence though is leaving a big problem
To me it doesn't get the best out of Kale and Virgili speed and leaves them far too isolated at times
It also puts a ridiculous amount of work on the CMs who are gonna tire and be overworked numerically far too often
They won't win shit playing this formation that is for sure.. Would like to see the two wide attackers drop back and play a but deeper and narrower.
As for Kale not taking penalties. This hot brought up before that Haynes is a gun Pen taker.
Not seeing much evidence to back it up.
Matter of fact the way he has been playing in the last 18 months in general it may not be too long until they actually bench him anyway.
They sure looked a lot better without him on there for the last 15 mins
This moryasu guy has got to be close to the best player in the Comp he's incredible
Past it.
No
He still quite a handy NPL player.
He just ain't the player he was 4-5 years ago
Magic reliance on him is a little excessive and needs to be tapered back a bit i think.
He can contributeat this level but I think the coaches need to ease the load on him
With Fino Kale Virgili they have enough quality there that Haynes doesn't need to be the main man any more
Kale up front with Haynes in behind. With virgili and petit on the wings with finlayson and faj/foteff/whoever else in the centre
Well doesn't yesterday just summarise the demise of Weston. It's hard to go along every week to support a club that can't even take it to a side that is a player down for most of the match.
Obviously loosing the players we did this offseason, and recruiting those from south Cardiff who didn't want to play new fm was always going to be a struggle. But the fact that the kids who should be starting to come into the side don't want to play first grade because of the way there 'captain' speaks to them. Watching an 18 year old making his first start yesterday, coming up against Matt Thompson, Carl Thornton and Ryan broadley, holding his own, and still getting berated by his captain is hard to watch. If they want to get anything out of this season there needs to be some sweeping changes made rather quickly!
I think Weston are really really lucky there isn't relegation. GoWeston, did you hear what/how everything is said by their captain? I think as a player you have to be willing to cop a spray and listen to others issues with your play in order to grow. What always pissed me off the most though was players who dished it out but couldn't receive it, particularly senior players. Point is, was whatever was being said justified and coming across in a constructive way?
[QUOTE=winner;153344]Fair call........ was a " F " for fail in their first real test, everyone is allowed a bad day at the office, and yesterday was Azzuris day.
Good having old heads in the team, but when you have a youthful Edgeworth, passing through midfield with ease and Brenno given twenty metres of room every time he got the ball, you can expect to be belted. plenty of young ones on the sideline who could have maybe pressured there midfield at least a little, GK had a bad day as well, will be interesting week at training id say, with Magic on the weekend, if they are a good side, this is the week they need to bounce back.
On a plus 19s and 22s scored wins and there was a cracker of a goal in the 22s.
Three grades v edgy at edgy would have been nice, but we were beaten by a much quicker, youthful Edgy on the day.
I wish constructive was a word that could be used for what is being said. But it's not. Kids these days don't respond to being sprayed like players used to. If it's not constructive it's basically useless. For it to go on all game from the captain, whose coach is the father, just isn't helping anything. And from talking to some of the younger boys basically the same thing happens all week at training. Your captain should be someone that's going to help the kids, make them want to be there and enjoy there football!
Generally isn't that Weston's go though??
They are a little cliquey as a group
Just need to look at what happened with Piggott a few years ago.
He ruffled some feathers and got moved on
I think you'll find though in years gone by that those in charge were more than happy to give younger fellas a go though, and not just that but they wanted to play for them. Only have to look at the grand final team a couple of years ago that had players like Zac sneddon, Connor Evans and jye McKellar in it. Piggo being sacked was always a mistake. It stopped the youth so the older players could get another year or two in the sunshine. The mistake is just that more glaringly obvious this year since the Thornton brothers and co arnt at the back to pick up the pieces.
I was at the Weston Maitland game yesterday and you have to feel for the likes of Sneddon and Kelly. They're the only 2 Weston players that even bothered to turn up. Unfortunately for these guys the score line and results aren't reflecting their performances during games. Both BK and Sneddon are having stellar seasons, playing quality football week in, week out. Weston are lucky they didn't lose 5-0 yesterday if it wasn't for those 2. Maitland made Weston look a right joke.
Keanu Moore, is he good enough for an A League squad?
Weston should be feeling very satisfied with their performances and position on the ladder. They speared Piggo because they felt much more comfortable with mediocrity, and have done a wonderful job of achieving that goal. No wonder the place is crumbling with the players that were prepared to work and embrace change moving to clubs interested in achieving success. YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW.
The boys club strikes again at Weston. It's a shame to see a club with such a long & successful history being run into the ground by a select few but look what has happened to other old and successful clubs like Wallsend, West Wallsend & Adamstown in the past.
It may be a case of both living in the past and allowing the arrogance of past success get in the way of the future?
they will just circle the wagons , grill some possums , pull out the banjos and have a swinging family hoedown .
