Who are the handy recruits at edgy
Yeh wondering who edgy have signed? Tannock is only player Im
Aware of.
Good to see the bears getting written off like usual. I think they will go close again. Hardwick is going to be close to leading scorer in the league IMO.
That's excellent great bloke Johnny.
Fairly certain he was running around for Kotara Sth last year in ZL1!!
Yeah he did, his brother plays there as well. it was there junior club.
Bennis had a knee reco the last year he played with magic, he tried to play the year after but training was causing greif to the knee.
so he played with kotara due to less demanding in training and playing etc..
I think magic have struggled in that holding mid role since his departure and going by this years squad i cant see that role filled again.. but the quality in the squad will probably avoid that problem anyways.
Fearless NPL prediction
Magic to be Minor Premiers and to beat Jaffas in GF 2-1.
I like Magic's recruiting for this year and their attitude seems good after their scare in 2014.
CCB to pick up the spoon and be relegated.
I don't think their is as much harmony at the Blues as people think.
Southy to qualify for the FFA cup for the second year in a row.
Reason for this is that from the QF on all matches are played at the synthetic David Eland Fields at Speers Point.
Only Southy are used to playing on such small fields.
I'll go with, in any order
Magic- slight bump in the road last season, dont think they will let it happen again.
Jaffas- Especially after the sign all the sacked Jets players.
Rosebuds- spent up big for this season or are they all just playing for love like the guide dogs.
Maitland - Think they will try to make a statement back in the top division.
Still going with Southy for relegation.
Not one ounce of disharmony that i am aware of, all players get on like a house on fire, new recruits Wollongong keeper and Joel fit in like a glove, big turn outs at training.
Under 19s did beat 22s 5-1 in a interclub trial on sunday, so may be a little thin on depth, but wont cause them to get a wooden spoon, far from it in my opinion, top four spot.
Olympic
Magic
Azzuri
Weston
My top 4:
- Magic: an off year last year and have made some decent signings, it's hard to go past a winning culture as well. Chill back with only bring a decent squad back together IMO.
- Jaffas: Cash money, no disrespect but quality signings as well as essentially all the grand final winning team. Added youth in Mike Williams (Jaffas junior) from the Jets under 18's, a quality player.
- Adamstown: Completely different team essentially. Bates is a class above, also big Kenneth at the back with Scotty Carter in the sticks should be solid defensively.
- Olympic: DANNY IRELAND. Have the quality to grind out results without playing beautifully and now have the best keeper in the region (better than BK). Don't rate Byrnes though and may struggle up front.
Wooden Spoon: South Cardiff: been close last couple of years and I think it's almost time
Hi guys,
Long time reader, first time writer.. I don't have an affiliation with any club however I just take a keen interest in the league.
Predictions for the upcoming season are as follows:
1. Magic
2. Jaffas
3. Olympic
4. Weston
5. Maitland
6. Edgeworth
7. Jets
8. Adamstown
9. Charlestown
10. Southy
My prediction is it will take 4/5 rounds before you could safely predict anything.Will be a few surprises early that might make a mockery out of all of these posted predictions one thinks!
Always do.
Still fail to see why so many have the Jets Yoof so low.
They won the NPL last year.
Will have a fair few still running around from that side are probably the fittest side about and are getting better each year at dealing with the physical threat NBN sides pose and add in that with the Jets HAL side basically going to have fill an entire roster with Tinks scorched earth policy anyone they sign under the age limit for the NPL will be eligible to be used in this comp to get game time and experience and prepare for the HAL season.
They are a big player in this comp
MFKS , you bring up some fair points and on that basis yep they should present many a problem for the top teams.
My mail is that the Jets Youth players are not happy about playing in the comp this year as they have heard other HAL teams playing in local comps will continue to get their salaries paid whilst representing the clubs and Jets Youth (no shock here) have been told they wont get paid.
Can anyone confirm this and if so how are people meant to survive if they are not even getting paid yet still required to train 3 or 4 times a week with game days at weekend. Is that even legal.
Because they are young and with the carrot of you will all be professional footballers being dangled in front of them.
Isn't that what Remmington discovered by leaving the Jets playing from the Jafs then going back he could see the time/commitment "v" money equation was better elsewhere.
Jaffas looking real quality early on.
Yeah,good sides Suns & Lakes must've been a real tussle!
hahaha yep... like taking black caviar to a newcastle class 2 gallop
I commented in another thread that you can only play what is in front of you and Jaffas are clearly doing that. As for Lakes , you would think they would be fairly decent competition given only last season they were an NPL team. Granted they go relegated for the reason of being last but they will hopefully still be a handy team and be looking to bounce straight back up.
Sorry to offend,obviously I have misrepresented Jaffas choice of opposition,clearly their aim is to win as many games as they can now as maybe leaner times could be ahead who knows.By the way has Maguire had a run?
Jaffas seem to be carrying on from where they left last year, granted that they are playing lesser opposition. No reason why it shouldn't happen really, as there hasn't been any major changes to the bulk of the squad. Haven't looked at their early fixtures, but my tip is for them to start off pretty strong, whether or not they can maintain early season form is another story..
One thing that can be taken from these early trials are that they aren't exactly missing Bradbury or Fajkovic just yet. And yes, you would expect them to bang a couple in when playing these kind of trials but its more about how you are creating your opportunities at this stage of pre-season and from all accounts they have been pretty efficient in the front third.
