After watching Edgy play Olympic tonight, Edgy are looking like a top 5 side again and Olympic are definitely looking like a top 10 team
Just looked up results and stats on bartv. Edgy win 2 nil but Olympic dominant with corners 8-1 and shots on goal 6-1. Was that how it played out?Quote:

Isn’t BarTV live with the catch up games?
Yes it’s on now
My bad got it. Cheers.
CooksHill /Azzurri 3-3
Cooks Hill improving in the last 2 weeks and doing it the right way too.
In the starting 11 vs Charlestown there was:
2 x 17yr olds
a boy that playe u16s for Australia a couple of years ago
~7/8 under 22
Only Jacob Pepper, Riley Mcnaughton, John Griff and Dan Yaxley over 21 years of age.
If they arn't going to make semis this year they might as well blood for 2023 and they are doing that very well it looks.

Haven't seen many games of late so not sure if it's a reflection of the season, but that Broadmeadow side is going to be good in the next few years. Didn't recognise many names or faces but for the most part they look young, skilful and athletic. Zane probably too good for this level.
Side note - surprisingly healthy crowd up there, pretty decent atmosphere.
I thought the girls did a decent job officiating too.Quote:

Yeh good crowd and great atmosphere and draw was probably a fair result. I don’t think either side was distinctly better than the other though Magic were probably a little bit more controlled in their play.Quote:

Despite there being quite a few yellows, which could in some cases be attributed to the conditions, the officiating was good.
Im all for promotion/relegation.Ive seen them twice this year (against Edgeworth and Charlestown) and both times been really impressed.They lost both games by a goal and its fair to say the experience of the opposition both times was the difference.Regardless whoever replaces them wont do any better judging from what Ive seen in NL1 this year.Happy to see a 10 team NPL and would rather have North Coast and Mid Coast come into the NPL/NL1 system to provide more competition rather than recycling what we have here.Its been really good for the youth but no idea if they have the same setup for Seniors does anyone know?Quote:

So if every team below is no good, who do you promote, when promotion and relegation starts?Quote:

Watching NPL this year, its probably the worst quality of football for a long time, and that includes the inclusions of many ejets players saturating these teams.
So is the ejet programs the issue, if jets or aleague teams are not interested in local players, and they have minimal impact in NPL, this can only mean we have low talent base of players, and more football opportunities will only in time flourish better players, reducing teams, will stunt further growth, and promote pub leagues.
Lastly I'm not sure, local NPL teams will agree to spend more monies or travelling to mid North Coast to play, and vise versa.
Yes thats my point as well.The teams coming up wont make the overall comp instantly better,unless they maybe bring in a lot of good established players.Then is that good for youth development?I support promotion and relegation because NL1 teams should have something to strive for or else the 2nd tier is always stagnant and it hopefully gets some of the politics out of the sport where no one ever really knows how the system works.Quote:

the girls?referee was a FIFA official and A League referee so i guess she should have been ok at this levelQuote:

Then you get a few snide remarks in response to the comments that make you wonder why you bothered.
What happened to match predictions?
I'll kick it off again.

Maitland 4 Olympic 2 ,game was tighter than score suggests.Both sides had plenty of chances to score but Maitland a bit more clinical up front
A good week for Maitland with victories over both Maitland and Lambton in the past 4 days
Cooks Hill v Lake Mac
5-0
Yep I watched it on Bar TV and the ground looked ok considering all the rain
Just happy for some football.
Pitch looked good at the game. Lakes just looked lost.Quote:

Not sure with Pepper, he seems to be taking the piss, and passenger like in the team?
Best signing for Cookers is Sam webb, not sure what Maitland was thinking there letting him go, to play L Webb or Cousins over him?
Agreed, Sam too quick and threatened all night.Quote:

Cookers made life real hard last 20 with a few missed chances but pulled it off in the end. Looked like real hard work on an absolute Heavy 10 track and a pretty physical match, both sides coming off the pitch after looked absolutely rooted.
I hear a serial pest out Weston way has been up to his old tricks again. "Ball" tampering and diving as well as studs up tackles.
