    Well I packed up and went to Azzurri on Saturday night, following thoughts

    Crowd, not many there and most that were there were wearing black.

    Ground, poor, from reports hard and lets not talk about the lack of lighting, bloody hard to see

    Game, Edgy played like they had a big game coming up this Wednesday, probably did enough to win but not much else, I can't see them going three in a row

    And on recent comments on here about Azzurri, I think Sparky, talking of lots of young guns coming thru, the 20's was a 4-0 win to Edgy, remember Edgy 20's got done 5-1 by Olympic the week before, says to me that Azzurri 20's are struggling

    Any thoughts on a replacement for Anthony Richards at Lakes.

    Not many contenders left

    Think the young ones being talked about, three are playing first grade now, one out injured and one did play 20s on sat night. Two others just left the 20"s the others are playing in first grade now, so U20 stocks are very scarce and they are struggling big time unfortunately.

    Don't quote me but I think Azzurri first grade have now led Edgeworth, Lambton and Broadmeadow in recent weeks, may be wrong, but close

    Where did I say they didn't, just stated they have led these teams, just need to grind out the wins.

    Problem I think is old legs, they seem to be an older team across the park, even allowing for the three U/20's. This problem doesn't seem to be solved with next year signings either

    What about your 18's they are third, so must have a bit of promise in that squad
    Why not give some of them a run to see if they can step up to 20's or even higher

    End of season, nothing to play for in 20's or 1st's so why not promote and see if they are capable

    Answer to that is pretty simple really. Clubs will not promote this late in the season so they don't disqualify players for the semi finals.

    Who would know......... not enough columns left in the paper after Azzurri announce a new player every week.

    Bit of a tug of war, 18s coach, who knows his stuff, reluctant to play his boys up, with them in the semi finals and 20s no chance, makes sense. Just hard on the 20s, the bench players from the 18s have been filling in for the 20s.

    Not a great look for Lakes 3 year tenure, that leaves 2 years to get it right before they potentially go back to where they come from.

    go away it seems the same in 1st grade, bench players from 20's used in 1st grade aswell
    odd club structure, to use the worst players and play them up
    maybe a new coach will be the solution and next year all the worst 20's play in 20's again.
    But hey, what do i know. i only have an online coaching credential to my name
