    From memory, this is the worst start of the year for Maitland. Surely, Hughesy is under pressure a bit.

    Can?t see Hughesy going anywhere anytime soon. Whilst it?s obviously been a very disappointing start to the season for the first grade men, he was bought in to run the whole football department men, women, youth and JDL.
    He is doing plenty of work behind the scenes to keep everyone happy and it won?t be too long before things start heading in the right direction for the first grade men.

    That's good to see your club has big plans and is patient for the new coach to implement his style. All I said was he must be under a bit of pressure for poor results. Unfortunately, this game mostly is measured by results whether you are Adam Hughes or Ang Postecoglou.

    I?ve watched Maitland a few times, they are all over the shop, I think their seasons n is done, hopefully for them they don?t end up in the relegation scrap

    Ventured to Azzurri v swans tonight, finished 2 all with swans scoring late, Azzurri should of had 5 before that, swans keeper did well but he?d be disappointed with Azzurri second, swans kept fighting despite being outplayed for most of match, they?ll do ok this year I think.

    NL Eagles relegated, Valo to fight for elimination

    New Lambton are done for, and a season or two to rebuild in NL1 isn't the end of the world... unless Valentine's internal issues spiral and NL can claim a pro/rel playoff spot but that's a STRETCH

    At the end of the day consistency wins out hence why Belswans should survive comfortably. They are arguably the most consistent team this season punching well above their weight.

    My tip for the playoff is Valo. Maitland will kick into gear soon, it's a question of when, not if. Adamstown will end their purple patch soon, but have started strong enough for relegation not to be a threat this season.

    To be fair though, what has the bloke achieved? Coached a bit of Jets academy then nearly went to China on a pro coaching contract, but Covid hit apparently. I could be wrong though.

    Then a few years at Valo on good coin overseeing youth to 1st grade. Well the youth sort of did ok I think 🤷*♂️.

    Just watching on YouTube now. I hope Maitland have a better plan than Valo.

    I?m hearing they aren?t happy on the hill at Maitland, all the money poured into the place off the field as well

    Well clearly not last night, maybe this weekend. But at least the women?s program is looking good.

    I would say New Lambton is the most consistent team

    Effort is there but being low on first grade experience hurts. The frustration that piddo displays explains it all.

    Im sure the hefty match payments he receives from the club make that frustration easier to handle.

    Just watched the Edgeworth v Chooks hill game. Edgeworths ground is one of the better grounds in the comp except for the large mounds on the six yard line. And while I?m at it BelSwans need to fill in the hole in the goal mouth. Just feed back. That?s all.
