Nothing wrong with someone having an opinion mate. Few too many sherbets I’m guessingQuote:

Ireland
Kelly
Trott

Bitz
James
Runge

I would have all of them before him
1-1 Jaffas and Edgy today
Thought Edgy shaded it but just didnt create enough clear chances and what they did create didnt do a lot with as their finishing was high wide and handsome
The 2 legged football shit though does favour the away side if they are prepared to sit tightish at the back all day and play on the counter
Be interested to see if Magic play a similar way tomorrow
As for the lower grades
Maitland 3 Jets 0 in the 20s
Azzurri and Jets 2-2 in the 18s
Well lucky both teams get the chance to be the away team then hey ��Quote:

Kale with 2 the 2nd a belter of a finish into the top corner from the top of the box
Maitland have tried kicking them and even with a weakish ref letting them get away with it they are still not offering much
Magic owning this game
nup. tragic could have had many more yellows for prof fouls but the ref looked after them.Quote:

At least Maitland came out and had a go in the second half to pull a goal back but i think this one is over.
Magic just too much firepower for Maitland
Thought Magic coasted in the second and tried protecting their lead a little too muchQuote:

They were a lot further away from Magic today than 2 goals
Bye Bye BolchyQuote:

Both are struggling out there
Maitland on the other hand are probably far too dependant on Thommo for creativity which is a bit of a load gor a bloke who dont have the legs he once did
They are also a little light up front in my eyes and could do with more goals from their strikers
Yeah agree with all of that member. Old legs in Thommo and the swans. But they have lost Comerford , Dutton black ,thompson and fayers out of their strikers.Quote:

Just for you
1. Goodchild
unhappy with coach and not being properly paid at Charlestown
Has good relationship with swans and Bolch
Joel Wood the other
Gee if that’s true the Moneybagpies are going to have find even more money, must have some great sponsors or their rego is through the roofQuote:

Wouldn’t have a clue but common sense says players like Thompson, read, swans, Thornton’s, trott et al aren’t playing for the love of it.Quote:

I wouldn't be putting any money on those Maitland player being paid below average.Quote:

It prpbably more of a bad reflection on the current compQuote:

Big gulf in clubs starting to form
Nothing groundbreaking here. For the most part, you have described just about every league in the world.Quote:

I will spare Magic and Jaffas here as they are still in with a realistic shot of taking home the prize
Rich coming from most arrogant poaching club in Newy for the last 20 yrs. Most juniors have come to you from other junior clubs at some point.Quote:

Is there a better way to run a league?
