This thread is a joke. About 90% trivial bickering by kids and 10% actual football discussion. Any mods left around here?
Good point
We should all be talking about Saturdays game, what a cracker, sensational
Edgy thru, well played, just kept playing until final whistle
Jaffa’s outstanding effort.
One thing I take from the game is that an 18yo kid with only a few 1st grade starts scores winning goal for Edgy
Jaffa’s 18 yo kids are probably hunting other clubs frustrated because they can’t get a crack
Olympic building nicely for 2019
Hopefully a couple of good additions to be announced soon
So lets put some qualitative assessment into our arguments. Whether we agree or not these are the facts in terms of Club success for teams making semi final football. Seniors /3 and Youth /4 and cumulative eg Magic two out three senior teams makes Semis and one of four Youth make semis for cumulative of 3/7.
Edgy 1/3 + 2/4 = 3/7, Magic 2/3 + 1/4 = 3/7, Maitland 2/3 + 0/4 = 2/7, Jaffas 1/3 + 2/4 = 3/7, Olympic (most successful club) 2/3 + 3/4 = 5/7, Charlestown 1/3 + 0/4 = 1/7, Jets 1/3 + 3/4 = 4/7, LMQ 1/3 + 0/4 = 1/7, Weston 0/3 + 1/4 = 1/7, Buds 0/3 + 1/7 = 1/7, Valo 0/3 + 1/4 = 1/7.
So who has been successful in the Seniors Magic, Olympic, Maitland and the Jets with two of their three senior teams making Semis. The worst performing in Seniors Valo, Buds and Weston with no teams involved in Semi Finals. The best performing Youth clubs Jaffas, Olympic, Jets and Edgy. The worst performing Maitland, Charlestown, LMQ and Valo.
Cumulatively, money spent, youth promoted and other debates aside, its all about performance and the worst performing in 2018 is Valo. Does this help maybe not, but whatever the argument these are the facts. I hope it makes sense.
Jets had 20s and 18s in semis in Seniors so your stat is wrong
Great work patch. Especially with throwing in the stats.
Now let's sit back and wait for the negative comments to begin
To go another step regardless of budgets etc.
If you ask any first grade coach at the start of the season what their goal for the season is and everyone of them would say that their goal for the season was a top 4 spot and semi final football.
So 4 clubs made the 1st grade semis.
Successful seasons for them and not so successful for the other 7 ?
