    Compromised solution offered by clubs instead of jamming 2 rounds into short season as didn't want mid week games.

    Wasn't too far wrong now with only 3 points difference between 3rd and 7th spots and also only 2 goals between them all in goal difference.

    Got to watch Jaffa’s v Azzurri today, Jaffa’s dominated early but Azzurri shame plan was spot on, defended in numbers and kept a great shape all game, they constantly worried the Jaffa’s with quick breaks against the run of play, Jaffa’s dead set missing an out and out striker, players playing out of position to complement others just doesn’t work, at times some of their football was brilliant with no result, Archibald did well in goal for Azzurri and deserved the points easily, Law clearly out coaching Pascoe today

    Good analysis.
    The loss of Crowley has been a big one.

    Only 3 points from 3rd to 8th.

    Surely the same could be said for every team (missing an out and out striker) except Maitland and Magic.

    And Edgeworth, I think Brymora is leading the golden boot

    Went and watched Maitland today,they aren't the same side without both Swans playing. Crowley and Thompson good for Maitland up front, but Cumerford and Woods offer little going forward and less in defense. Can't see how they make the starting side each week,throw Clarke in there.
    Can't see them making the top 5 the way they are playing.
    Azzurri not much better.
    Renee Ferguson best on field by far

    The recruits Bolchy made at Maitland are not working he had the keys’ to the club and wants to build from the top but surely he is under pressure -the club executive have made some big decisions recently such as extending Bolchy contract and ending long term TD role to go with a far less experienced TD, and things not looking’rosy’ ATM
    Yes their youth are going much better, but the foundations had been laid !

    Seriously, in 2 years at the club they have won their first ever premiership, made their first ever grand final and made the last 32 of the ffa cup. What more do you want. I agree they are not going well this season ,but which recruits are not working. The only recruit I see is Braeden Crowley the rest of the team were all there last year, they just have no depth.
    Do you lose the keys to the club after one season . Who is the new TD because the old one was rubbish

    If this forum had its way, no club would have coaches as they’d be sacked every loss.

    Maitland were the better team in the second half after a fairly even first. Azurri got a lucky hand ball penalty and convert a header from a corner and got away with a fairly lucky 3 points.

    So you have intimate knowledge of the club and the old TD do you ?
    I did and the TD -Rod was very good and had a great relationship with all the players and fully understood the basis of youth development not just a win at all costs ! I agree Bolchy has turned the 1st grade around but with the squad he has 6th place is not acceptable
    Chris Gallagher from Magic is the 2021 TD at Maitland, now I hear he is ‘rubbish’

    Two pools are
    Magic, Weston, lakes, Charlestown and Lambton.

    Olympic, Buds, Maitland, Edgeworth and valo

    Fixtures haven’t been released yet.

    With these pools two team will have a bye each week. Surely the federation just make these two sides play each other??
    Probably not though cause that would be too logical...

    From what I understand -

    teams are grouped every 2 positions on the ladder.
    1-2
    3-4
    5-6
    7-8
    9-10

    To make up the rest of the comp rounds you'll be pooled with one team from each group.

    For example if it was all odds:

    Edgy, Olympic, Jaffas, Azzurri & Rosebuds will be in one pool and play all the teams once to close out the rest of the regular season fixtures.

    EDIT - From a club facebook page

    Following Round 9 of the Northern NSW Football NPL Northern NSW Senior competition yesterday, a live draw was held this morning via zoom by Northern NSW Football to divide the competition into two groups.
    The results of the draw are as follows.

    GROUP A:
    Broadmeadow Magic FC
    Weston Workers FC
    Lambton Jaffas FC
    Charlestown Azzuri FC
    Lake Macquarie City Roosters FC

    Group B:
    Edgeworth Eagles FC
    Newcastle Olympic FC
    Maitland FC
    Valentine Eleebana FC
    Adamstown Rosebud FC

    Fixtures for this weekend's Round 10 will be confirmed later today with the Rounds 11-14 to be confirmed over the next few days as feedback is sought from clubs on date/day preferences.
    The fixtures will be the same for NPL First Grade and Reserve Grade.
