If you're going to replace players don't you go for someone that is better in that position? Runge is a long way from being a top NPL keeper.Quote:

So someone other than you must rate him highly
Have seen very little advertisements regarding the NPL grand final.
He got called up because the top four teams were in the playoffs and wouldn't release their keeper even if they were asked. He is a product of the Goldman academy so that would help for a call up.Quote:

My predictions
Jets 3-0
Maitland to win on pens
Edgy 2-1
Sounds about right.Quote:

Magic have been incredibly stiff luck wise against them as the results could easily have gone the other way
They also havent beaten them in quite a few years
I thinking that will change Saturday night
Olympic in the 20s
Jets in the 18s
Two days out from the big dance and it’s a ghost town in here. Maybe someone should have accused someone of doing something on the pitch so everyone had something to talk about.
Well Azzurri have confirmed Goodchild and Smith are staying put at AzzurriQuote:

I agree. I’m a bit more excited for the zone premier league grand final; Suns v Kotara at magic on Sunday arvo.Quote:

Last year KO was at 7:00 or 7 :30 or something like thatQuote:

All right for the clowns in the Corporate Box out of the elements but not good for the plebs
This year they have brought it forward an hour or so hopefully not as bad
Ticket prices increased and booking in advance was dearer than walking up on the day thanks to all the booking fees
Crowd was noticeably down last year and atmosphere sucks
3/4k at Magic Park is a good thing
3/4k at Stade de Griffo is a joke
I for one think if they going to have it there they need to go back to the 3 pm KO for First Grade
Needs to be on a stand alone weekend. 3 divisions of Zone Leagues have their finals on the same day and one after it the following day.
I know for myself I'll be on the tins all day then into the evening I'll be either celebrating or commiserating with my mates after their game.
Hearing 2 departures from Olympic.
Tom Davis - Maitland
Jacob Bailey - Adamstown
Hodges to AzzurriQuote:

More a question of are there actually any of the kids that have came through the Edgy npl youth set up or are they good young players that they have attracted from other clubs at say 17 or 18 and then developed them into 1st graders
to answer your question FB- ZERO from that listQuote:

Biggest day for football in Newy and coverage of empty seats, move the crowd on that side, or cover game from there.
lack lustre to say the least for the youngsters.
Does it really matter?Quote:

Other clubs are out there trying to be buying comps like Azzurri Jaffas Maitland etc
Edgy showing there is another way to do things
crowd goes wild in the standsQuote:

Bit of a capitulation from Lakes that was
That own goal though was worth the price of admission
Well then.
