Holy shit.... I stuck my beak into a magpies nest i.e their midfield today and got well and truely "plucked". Congrats Maitland, better team today but....still one more game to turn things around.

Good crowd at the game. I thought that Maitland dominated the first half but Belswans came back into in during the 2nd half. The Belswans keeper kept you fella's in the tie sancho_theswan. He made some fantastic saves and it could have easily been a dead rubber next week if he wasn't between the posts.
How do we think this weekends games will pan out?
grand finals will be imo
19s Maitland v Thornton
23s Adamstown v Maitland
1st Adamstown v Maitland
Sancho, what's your thoughts on the game? I thought the lady Swans you bought with you were exceptional, very sexy swans.
Maitland today just proved that 3 poor games cost them the Premiership. Today showed how superior they were to the 3rd placed side even with players out injured. Definitely a season that could have been for the Pies.
Shock result today with Belmont beating Adamstown to progress to the 23s grandfinal.
Also congratulations to Maitland for getting all their teams in the grandfinal next weekend.
Either way congratulations to the belswan boys, i bet there was some wild scenes in the sheds afterwards!
What did the 1st grade score end up today?
Maitland well done all 3 teams in GF and with your 1st grade results a win, loss and draw over promoted Adamstown you must feel gutted not to be playing NBN next year.
A great year and clearly miles ahead of 3rd but it just doesn't seem fair to have this club in new fm.
I'm not a fan of the ground and don't believe other NBN clubs would want to play on windy hill but on the field the players and coaches have been pretty consistent over a long period now.
Well done on a fantastic weekend of semis. As a Belswans supporter I was so pleased to see the lads beat Adamstown over two games. Definately a case of underestimating your opponent, well done the underdogs. Last year they met Lambton and lost 7-0 over 2 legs great effort boys and super support from the sidelines. Good luck next week lets hope The underdog can prevail once again. Well done Maitland on making it in all 3 grades
OK....Let's start with the "Swanettes". A great innovation I must say, they brought plenty to the table with support and comments. No doubt there would have been many a Magpie "pricking up his plumage" at the sight of these "well groomed" girls, especially when you guys were banging on early in the year about "referee eye candy"... what a load of bollocks.
Now for the game...
Firstly the ref was far more consistent this week. I didn't think the score line reflected the effort and courage the BelSWANS showed on the day. As for "superior" with players out?????? Who... Humble???? Well I would have liked to of seen our team go around with Shane Paul, Nathan Gonclaves and young Tommy Pichalof in the mix, may have been a whole new ball game.
I thought that we gifted the first two goals. Anyhow I don't want to detract from the Maitland performance, quality=goals and that's what they delivered on the day. Best of luck next week (for 1st grade and 19's at least).
How do we think the grand finals will go? Personally I think it will be a maitland trifecta...
Would like to see Belswans cause an upset in 23s though
