Don't know what Jared's deal is with Weston or any non-metro team.
Watched the game on Youtube between Magic and the Bears, wouldn't have called it a particularly physical match.
Hearfield's challenge was only a yellow, no need for a red - was only a single foot involved and he got the ball. Big deal. Haynes played on for a while and didn't seem too injured when he went off - more of a precaution IMO.
As for the implication that Weston were only dangerous from set pieces, well they were dangerous from set pieces (as normal) but they did score 3/4 in open play.
NB the washouts in Newie are ridiculous. NNSWF needs to set in. Stupid that Clubs are making unanimous decisions. Should be decided by the TWO clubs in question and the match officials at the time of kick off.
Thought he was very very average to be honest but then again it was a pretty average overall performance by Azzurri.
Was just interested in your thoughts on Birdy considering the pasting you gave your keeper. I didn't think the keeper was horrendous - then again people see things differently.
My opinion of our keeper is cumulative over many rounds.His displays vs.Maitland,Rosebuds in FFA Cup &Edgy have all been of a similar quality.The defence is rubbish but I know how a keeper can inspire defenders with confidence if they fulfil their role competently.As far as Birdy goes he was CCB's best player again&it amazes me the number of times he gets fouled.His main fault is his belief that he needs to do everything & this doesn't allow him to play his own game.Changing positions 3/4 times a game doesn't help either.Pretty sure things might change next season.

I think your blowing too much smoke up this poor kids backside,(IF YOUR NOT THE POOR KID)
There are plenty of better players around in this league playing in better teams, even some weaker ones.
dont get me wrong birdy holds his own, but to try and say virtually he is azzurri and the rest are crap is just an ego - (there is no i in team ).
He is not proven in my eyes to demand such hype.
So 1st round of the NPL is almost done and dusted from what people have seen so far who is the tip for premiership grand final winners and relegation?
Olympic & Magic to be grand final and Maitland / Charlestown fighting spoon
Tonester, I also consider Birdy a talented player and that in a stronger team his game would probably progress. But you being the noise that travels with him, may find your attitude unwelcome at some clubs. My man tells me that it was similar circumstances at Weston , where one of their top players was moved on, it was his third club in three years and now he's bench warming in Sydney.
