[Keep the long balls short]

Sat in the stands to watch the buds today. Maitland should do them easy. Buds very ordinary against a team coming 2nd last. Buds will need to lift and are capable of it I'm sure.

I was at the buds game as well yesterday and I thought Adamstown totally dominated (especially 2nd half) and were never in any danger. The Cessnock keeper played a blinder and had the scoreline been 5,6 or seven for the buds then there would have been no complaints.

Also the young 23s won yet again with a convincing display.

Hopefully the weather stays fair and we can get the Adamstown v Maitland games on this week as the 1st grade and 23s matches are going to be crackers i think.

looking forward to this game v maitland. Cessnock keeper did have a blinder. What was the go in regards two mach balls being put away with 10-15min to go after cessnock scored.

Sorry I have no idea what you are talking about mate. It was a nice day so I sat on the grass over beside my car and did not venture over to the stand yesterday. I was aware that there appeared to be no ball boys/girls yesterday so that may have lead to some confussion.

Regarding the match balls being purposely put away... if that is what you mean (which I am not saying it is) then believe me that would have only been to Cessnocks advantage Ha Ha

They were that far out the game the scoreline is so flattering towards them and in actual fact after they scored I dont even recall them getting over the halfway line to be honest.

Yep Maitland should be good - They seem to be rolling teams over so it will be a real test for the buds.

Yes you are correct possibly was to cessnocks advantage haha but don't think we needed to go to that level. Hope it was just a mistake as it was pretty ugly over in the stands. Some of the behaviour that is. but roll on maitland

Toronto v Bel Swans

1st- 0-4
23s 1-3
19s 0-3

Honestly, what is going on out there, two weeks in a row Toronto have lost all three grades to Cessnock and Belswans ?

Pretty it up as much as you like, but this is not right. Something is going wrong, looks like it is a distinct possibility the stags wont make the semis in any grade in Newfm ? Please !!!!

[sancho_theswan]

Watched this game today...belswans were better but not 4 goals better. Maitland and buds are way above these 2 teams imo................sancho ?

Agree that I don't think they were 4 goals better on the day. Was not the slickest BelSWANS performance of the season. A few 23's played up and J. Shearer's first hit out of the year plus a couple of positional changes could account for a bit of the performance. I also don't want to make out that these are excusses, the Stags really did pressure at times and continued to play out the whole game, which was admirable. Just think that we had a bit more quality where it counted and seemed to be in control for the most part - an early goal also helps. Sometimes "winning ugly" can be a positive. Anyhow, the next 2 weeks will test our club in all grades and we'll have a better idea of where the comps at by then in first grade.

[sancho_theswan]

Did J.Shearer get that hatty sancho? I'm keen on a milkybar.

No mate he didn't. Was pretty rusty by his own admission. Did play the full 90 + 8 minutes however. Sorry but the "milkybars" are in the nest for a while I think.

Predictions

Adamstown vs Maitland:

1st: 2-1
23's 1-0

I'm still going with my predictions from last week.... wins to Maitland in both 1sts and 23's on Wednesday night. Although I'm sure the playing group at BelSWANS will really like a draw in 1sts ..... and that they hammer each other into the ground.

Ahh Zinco...... you must be drowning under all that weight of knowledge.
The more shittttttttt you throw the stupider you become. ....at least in this SWANS eyes anyhow.

[Keep the long balls short]

I wonder who will be in the frame for the Valentine job then ?

There will likely be a few in the frame from the Newfm ... Any suggestions ?

Why would a NEW FM coach take the reins when they will be coaching in the same comp again next season?
