Belswans have no hope of winning it....
Maitland v Thornton
1st 4-0 maitland
23s 4-0 maitland
19s 8-0 maitland
Wow 19s pulled their finger out after their last efforts against them. Finally picked up an actual striker hopefully
No-Thornton were horrible
Nil all at half time.Maitland were very ordinary in front of goal while the Thornton goalie had a blinder.Could have been a double figure score.Maitland showed no respect for the ball in front of goal.Will need to pull fingers out on Wed when they play Adamstown who beat Westy 6-0.
Backed up my comments and went to watch Adamstown and Westy today. Hadn't been out there for 2or 3 years. What a letdown such a shame Westy can't even string 3 passes together, pass or mark. I'd be surprised if Smithy didn't remind them to turn around at half time. Time to find a few old heads or go looking for some talent
6 nil Adamstown and I guess they hit the post or bar 10 times too
Smithy was not there, at a function in Sydney
Were Thornton 19s really that bad? Didn't the Maitland 19s beat Adamstown 7-0 and then Toronto 7-0 and now Thornton 8-0?
That sort of score line surely represents more than just a poor performance from the opposition? Especially 3 games in a row... and to be honest probably hard to criticize them too much if they are a good side in an ordinary competition.
Maitland 19s are a great side but they lack depth that the team had originally and are hit and miss at times EG-last time they played Thornton they went down 2-1. They will win the comp but in saying that they aren't better than last year's team. They are a good team and their coach has obviously done a fair bit but has a far way to go with them.
Agreed they probably aren't as good as the team last year but they do have a lot more younger players than last year which I suppose makes a difference also it would be hard to get a great deal of depth in a 19s team that is in the second division.
Their coach obviously has them improving which todays result shows and he's a young guy who had the team last year so he is doing pretty well i guess but I suppose the test for those players is whether they make the jump up the grades in the future or in the 19s if Maitland get promotion.
It's interesting to watch anyway
Yes they were.Turned it up.Their defence was non existent and they played like they didnt want to be there.First 15 minutes was great but downhill after that
Went to Westy to watch the buds all three grades and like last year the 1st grade are gaining momentum at just the right time this 0-6 scoreline flattered Westy. Adamstown passed the ball about with real confidence and I think if they get a result over Maitland during the week and get top of the comp they will be difficult to knock off
As an addition the Adamstown 23s made it 12 straight wins with a very comfortable victory themselves - i think they must have got something like 25 corners !! and again this sets up a cracker against the Maitland 23s during the week as Maitland I feel must win this game what with them being 5 or 6 pts behind them as it stands
yes Belswans have signed a good player there in Joel.a nice bloke as well .
Joel who
Joel Shearer from Olympic.a bit closer to home i think,
What position does he play?
Handy pick up
A more than handy pickup for a squad like "southie"..... a great pickup for a "high flying" squad like BelSWANS!
Will fit in "like a finger up a swans bum"!
????? not the point..... not what I commented on!
Not the issue... not what I said!
