2018 National Premier League thread

Well, what’s everyone’s thoughts after round 1

Bloody hot and hard for players, but they all had the same conditions

I saw three games, thx to BAR TV, bloody great coverage

Jaffas v Edgy, watched on Bar, not a bad game, first up, given the heat, certainly seemed tough and end to end, entertaining. Good start for Jaffas and they will win those close games all season I think, just experience they seemed to have Edgy covered
Edgy, more competitive than I thought they might be, starting 11 is strong, are they lacking depth, time will tell
Holts coming off bench scoring two crackers certainly helped their cause , but he will be a regular starter once fully fit, probably next week. What is Byrnes doing At Edgy, everything that Zane claimed he doesn’t want at the club. 5 clubs in 5 years, no loyalty and selfish. I suppose you lower your values when you need goals


Lakes v Magic
Another Bar tv experience for me, looked bloody hot and so did Magic. Just out classed Lakes, far too good.
Surely Lakes have better to offer than that. Their defence just looked disorganised and worse looked disinterested. No intensity, no interest in winning possession
Hopefully it was just the heat or 20’s playing, or big night before, if not it’s gonna be a long year

Olympic v Azzurri
Got to watch this one at ground, what a difference it makes with the atmosphere

Azzurri were good, Goody & Smith looked good, Ferguson was good Lubo, looked a class above and probably is. Certainly a talker, not afraid to give his opinion to anyone, teammates included
But from an Olympic view, not really that bad, 2nd stage of first half cost them. But plenty of young fellas who should get better as the season goes on.
Can Azzurri improve much more ?

Thoughts ?
