Why would they want back into the 2nd div? Are you that thin skinned personally, or maybe can’t see the bigger picture?

The Foley era in newfm seems a distant memory for some. I remember the 23s keeper coming on on the field for firsts in a game.

Short timeframe later they made established newfm clubs look like the pub teams they actually are.

They’re a good club and they’ll have a plan on how and when to build - but without promotion and relegation, in a league where 50% of the players are state league Sydney qualify at best… why would you spend money to recruit? They’re giving the lads that won the league over and over the right to have a shot in the league above. They’re not spending club money on overpriced wannabes in newy football, they’re building their infrastructure and securing financials off the pitch… what do you want clubs to do lol?
From the word on the street they spent the last few years rolling around in a rolls Royce in a pub comp, players will be eventually found out.

You just want to see them be competing in the premier competition but as shown, they’ve got pub level players in a premier competition.
