    Hopefully the weather is better for the Olympic game and a bigger crowd turns up. Local teams need support even if it’s the only game of the year you want to see them win

    Very poorly coached.
    Chalk and Cheese to how Zane approached the game last week.
    Embarrassing is the first word that springs to mind

    “Newcastles premier club” as they say

    Bunch of w@nkers all walking around yesterday in their suits trying to look important as they suck up to the Lord Mayor to gain more funding to their ground. If only they spent half their efforts into trying to field a first grade team..
    If that’s the squad they are going to field in 2022, Joel and his men are going to have a long year.. reserve grade team at best.. disappointing for “Newcastles premier club” 🤣🤣🤣

    You know that’s just money that comes from the sponsors or out of money that can be spent elsewhere..

    I really don’t think you’ve made much of a point; I don’t see it as relevant how you look once the game kicks off.

    I want to be completely upfront here and say that I am an Olympic supporter. I went to the game on Saturday night and watching the game plan that Griffiths dished up made me sick. That negative crap is now what the national audience thinks of when they think of Olympic. Not to mention the fact that he sh*t on quite a few players that were a massive part of them getting there in the 1st place. He shouldn't be coaching under 12s, let alone NPL.

    Some absolute genius coaches here. Olympic are a local NPL team who had 4 weeks to prepare to play against a Top professional outfit in MacArthur who were still training in lockdown. They had Mutch, Davilla, Da Silva, Noone, Meredith, Oar. All very good top tier players in the A League.
    What did you want Olympic to do. If they went all out and played like they would on a weekend against other local NPL competitors, go all guns blazing playing out and sending people forward and got beat by 7/8/9 goals, all you heroes would’ve battered them for that anyway. Okay they probably should’ve tried to go forward more but they definitely didn’t “embarrass themselves” conceding 3 goals against those quality players under 4 weeks training and one warm up game.
    One of you saying it’s a reserve grade squad is laughable.. they’ve made the semis more times then not in previous years.

    Making the semis once in the last 4 years hardly qualifies as making it more times than not

    Go out and have a crack maybe? Rather then parking 11players inside your box for 90mins, they would get a lot more credit from people getting pumped by a cricket score if they went and actually had a go considering the circumstances rather then approaching it the way they did.

    Made the semis more times then not?
    They have made the semis once in the last 4 years🤣🤣 and that was in a shortened covid season

    2021 7th
    2020 3rd (covid year where season was cut in half)
    2019 7th
    2018 5th

    This made me laugh. I thought they must of ducked away from a “Greek wedding” with the suits. There is a few well known tosses which would have influenced this that think they are above everyone. Looked silly really I don’t think ALeague clubs wear suits anymore. It gives them a sense of importance for their own egos. From what I am hearing a few unhappy past and present players.

    Something is pushing some influential past players and their younguns away.

    Any ideas?

    The TD, their reserve grade is full of blokes who will never play first grade, joel tried to move a couple on but was told he couldn’t so most of last years 18s moved on for a better chance and most ended up at cooks hill, when the committee under mines the coach then things can’t be good.

    Seems as though Olympic are in all sorts. They have gone backwards ever since they got rid of Bolch.
    Doesn’t seem like an attractive club for players anymore. Shame really

    All this negative talk sounds like a few people trying to create a problem rather than reporting on an actual problem. Only actual fact mentioned was a negative defensive approach to last Saturday's game. Who cares if someone wears a suit, and apart from a lot of young players being selected in Jets and Mariners academies, who has left to go to other clubs?
