sounds like they need a coupla more strikers too , maybe some more coaches .can you pre purchase extra points to fit inside the pps ?
Because the PPS is a waste of time, anyone that gets near their limit are kidding themselves, the first year was fine but the changes they made render it pointless,( no pun intended)
I would say you are spot on with that observation about Bennis. He was the "heart beat" of Magic for many years and they have failed to replace him.
Didn't see the match but heard from a few people that Magic 19's played 2 players from their 22's squad (Nadfalusi and Marky) and even one from their 1st Grade squad (Barber) in the 2nd Leg semi final last Sunday. Yes, apparently all 3 are under 19 and I'm assuming it must be okay but in regards to "sportsmanship" it's pretty low that they feel they need to stack their 19's with players from higher grades who haven't played there all season just so they can qualify for the GF.
The players who had to make way would be pretty pissed off too, being involved all year and then being left out in a crucial game at the end.
Is it really worth going to this trouble just to win a piece of silverware in 19's???
Coaches requested back-ups due to injuries... U17's have been filling in during the year sometimes up to 5 starting over U19's who were out/ unfit... Players in question where asked if they would like to participate not told to do so... and were happy to oblige... U17's will return for the GF. FYI Max Markey did not play, was too sore from being chopped down numerous times in the previous match.
Everyone does it... i remember a U19's Olympic team a few years back in a catch up game at Magic Park that was stacked with 3 first graders and 3 resies players, that were "made" to play... obvious form their body language they didn't want to be there... U19's parents were furious and walked out then they found out their kids weren't getting stripped and were notified prior to arrival to the field... Magic U19's won 5-1...
"Sportsmanship" would have dictated the Edgeworth player who deliberately hand-balled in the box on the weekend stop play and confess to the referee...
Never a hand ball, cop it sweet
I was told 3 x 22s and a first grader. Plus one of the 22's has played first grade. It doesn't matter whether the players who played down were asked or made do it. It's crap, and you can only feel for those boys who had to make way for the ring-in's, especially when they have worked hard all year only to be shafted when it matters most. Disgraceful!
