Don?t think many would have picked Adamstown to win today. They have been more competitive this year. Might not be so cut and dry the bottom 2
Jaffas have no chance. As their colours show they are custard. No Kale to save them.
No Topper for today so they were very unsettled at the back. Back not scoring is atrocious. Some weren't up for it & they know it. Others only got serious in the final 30.
Who's the TD there now? What cluster fk he is. They'ed all be near unconscious if I trained them on Monday. Bit of credit to the Buds, they came to play.
I thought Adamstown were relatively good yesterday, could?ve scored 3-4 and were reasonably disciplined in defence. However Jaffas offered little to nothing and were very disappointing . Long season for them ahead if they don?t start turning up

NORTHERN NSW Football (NNSWF) is investigating an incident in an NPL men?s match in which it is alleged that a spectator spiked an opposition goalkeeper?s water bottle with alcohol.
Edgeworth lodged a report with NNSWF after their 1-1 draw with Belmont-Swansea in first grade at Blacksmiths Oval on Saturday night, February 22.
Among a list of complaints, it is alleged that a crowd member entered the field of play during the first half, took the water bottle of Edgeworth keeper Ben Conway from behind the goal. It was laced with alcohol and grass and then put back in its original place.
Conway informed Edgeworth coaching staff at half-time that his water bottle had been tampered with.
A minor is believed to be involved in the incident.
Conway was also allegedly the subject of abuse from a separate spectator, who appeared to be intoxicated, as the keeper left the field at half-time. The abuse continued while the teams were in the dressing rooms.
NNSW confirmed they were investigating the allegations.
?Northern NSW Football have received a report of an incident from the round two NPL men?s NNSW first grade match between Belmont Swansea United and Edgeworth Eagles at Blacksmiths Oval which involved spectators and a player?s equipment,? a NNSWF spokesperson said.
?The matter is under investigation and no formal sanctions will be confirmed until the investigation is finalised.?
The investigation is expected to take a few weeks.
Belswans president Cameron Tapp said the club was working with NNSW regarding the incident.
?Nothing has been finalises as yet,? Tapp said. ?It is an on-going disciplinary matter. Until it is finalised, there is really nothing to say other than we are working with Northern NSW on the matter.?
Belswans are in their first season back in the NPL since 1999 after being runaway premiers of League One in 2024.
They currently sit in seventh spot on five points after four rounds.
Thanks, sounds like it will result in a club fine.

What is going on at Maitland? Got belted 5-1 by Weston in el classicoal tonight and the Bears could have hit double figures if they really fancied it. This was after Maitland went into halftime leading 1-0 as well.
A few years ago the Pies were one of the stand out teams in the comp now they look like they might end up in a relegation fight.
The rule allowing Nancarrow to move from cooks hill to magic outside the window doesn?t cut it for me, his age shouldn?t determine it, cooks hill have put in a few hard yards with this kid and got nothing in return
