a lot of talk about Smithy, so how many goals did he score this year, and will he be really missed.Quote:

I've watched scott play for years & he's always been a natural leader, perhaps not always by words but definitely by actions. He plays with passion & heart, and gives 100%. He seemed to be able to left everyone and I think that will be hard to replace.Quote:

These two have been the best strike force in the competition for years. Will be interested to see if Olympic play with 2 up front next year or try and turn Smith into a number 11Quote:

Kane scored more headed goals this season than Tim Cahill & Jan Koller combined. Smith is a better header of the ball than Badchild. With Cooper (Reece, not Mitch) in behind, they will score more times than Tiger Woods did before he got caught.
You heard it here first, Buffalo Hawks, NBA Champions 2039 (the franchise will have moved from Atlanta by then).
Have heard Hartnett on his way to Adamstown with McGuiness after Magic have signed their new keeper from Tasmania. Herald on Wednesday confirming the rumours about Scott Smith going to Olympic. Two good signings that will strengthen both Magic and Olympic. Any other signings out there

Are many first grade teams training yet?? Heard on the grapevine Magic a starting next week, four times a week?? Can't confirm though!
Azzurri have hardly stopped, had another valentine first grader at trial game yesterday ? Not sure whats happening at valo
Liverpool are again reaping the rewards for all the hard work done at Southampton , with their eyes on yet another two [2] players to bring to Anfield . That would take the number to around seven {7] players over the past few years .
So what of the Mighty Liverpools youth acadamies etc ? Why aren't they producing these players ?
This situation is a mirror image of how Hamilton Azzurri , sorry Hamilton Olympic have raidd Azzurri , sorry CCB over the past few years .
Again the question is asked , what of Olympic's suppposed fantastic youth program ? They seem to win comp's regularly , but very few seem to be good enough for the Pirate . Obviously he prefers the finished product .
Liverpool/Olympic then sell their youth players to lower table teams like Bournemouth/CCB.

Nice try but.
Don't think he was genuinely having a go at Liverpool, just trying to find a way of having a go at Olympic.. :gent:Quote:

Doessn't really sound like it .
But in this case probablt true about the familiar faces , if Mr Bird turns up and Joel Witherdin hadn't gone back to Melbourne then that would have been 7 starters out of 11 ex Azzurri . So yes , a lot of familiar faces .
That last message was for Why Blue in case anyone didn't get it .
Next year 2017 will mark 8 years since Olympic have won anything in 1st Grade .
Their last success was 2009 v Valentine in GF - 2-0 .
Valentine then assembkled , not coached , by The Pirate .
So now heading into his 8th year at Olympic , and no cigar .
That is despite spending plenty of theirs and his , gragging players from everywhere . Still nothing ?
And then NNSW go and reduce the PPS to 180 for 2017 , eventually ending up at 160 for 2019 .
Now that will be interesting .
Very patient those Greeks
All jokes aside and all the sledging, some light hearted, some not, that is very surprising Ned, hope your facts are correct, not doubting you, but I cant believe Olympic havnt won something in eight years, will all the established stars they recruit, very interesting.Quote:
