Wagga City v Central Coast. 
NSW Distance Derby. Just a casual 7 hour drive each way....FMD. 

Look I tend to agree and not.
Last number of seasons we also have hit outs against Olympic.
Sure it’s pre season but our boys last couple of seasons comeback 2nd halves and give a good game of it.
None have been blow outs but good yard sticks regards to fitness pace and ball work.
I grew up in my playing days thrown in the deep end and this is just as - a hard lesson hopefully without breaking their hearts you got to face the facts.
Yes mate his 2nd season in 18’s coming up with good experience playing 20’s most of second half last season.
A lot of changes at Magic the off season with players and coach’s.
Hopefully a step in the right direction.

Where you at this year ?

When I was at Dully last year, we played Manly early on in preseason. Our 18s had a terrible squad and got pumped 10-0. There's not much benefit in that. There's a massive gap between NPL 1 and 3. Is your kid still with Gladesville?

Thanks for the draws !
Yes mate friendly s on the go.
We have wanderers sunday - I expect a mix of selected players for its not for all squads unfortunately but a good challenge this early for a pl3 club.

We have signed GK John Hall, from WSW. 

This weekend i believe is the first for friendly matches.

Mateo Poljak & Martin Lo to Marconi

Does this player points system still matter or? 

I know us in PL3 start around those dates normally (at least a month before club football start) and yes PL1 a couple of weeks later in the past, look like FNSW decided to start all grades same time.

Yer that should be an interesting first up game SU58 and at ol Marconi.
The other one is Manly vsing APIA - what a 1st game for 2018.

Marconi away in round 1 :cool:

is it just me or has the league been pushed forward (date wise) doesnt it normally start end of march?

Nice to see Marconi back in the top league.

Bonnyrigg assistant coach Cliff Pointer has retired, Milan Susak has been named Brian Brown's new assistant. 

if theres one team that shouldn't be complaining about having their players approached its sutho's under 20's given the track record of a certain person at the helm!

13 Team State League next year? Another South Coast team coming in

happened to us too, approaching our 20's in the weeks leading up to the finals.

Luke Ivanovic aswell, pretty poor form by Sydney talking to them mid season whilst still contracted to another club.

Hassan Jalloh to Sydney FC for 2018 season

So we have apparently signed David Bradasevic, Ben Tosi & Dean Bereveskos. Happy about David, local kid & will challenge Jimmy, dont know much about the other two. Heard we released Marty Lo.

It will be a very interesting year for Fraser. 

Matthew Licata named Fraser firsts coach. $ has dried up, their just happy to be another PL3 club now

another rumour shannon cole to wolves

More silly season rumors:

Adrian Ucchino - APIA to Marconi 

it dosent matter where he lives if he is happy to drive down there for what they offered thats his business and not ours also he did drive all that way to play under jake. if you are going to post comments at least make sure you know the facts 

Someone earlier in the year told me about Elwood. I was actually wondering about Casuarina because I noticed the colours that they wear. There are a couple of Portuguese social clubs throughout Australia but it is hard to find football clubs. 

Thanks for letting me know.

Glad someone said it 

Earlier in the year I mentioned they should invite Elwood FC from Melbourne to the Portuguese Cup. Well over the year I've also discovered that Casuarina FC up in Darwin has significant Portuguese links via East Timor.  

With all due respect to Timpano, he is hardly a coach that players would drive hours every week on minimal wage for.

Where he lives is relevant. Most players will want some decent compensation if theyre travelling over one hour each way 3 to 4 times a week unless they're desperate for game time. 

Let's agree to disagree. I've heard one figure, you're certain it's wrong. Cool. 

What I said was that "we wouldnt pay the outrageous amount I heard he was on last year" specifically about Antelmi and in relation to the figure he was allegedly offered at Wollongong. Nothing to do with the rest of the squad - only an idiot would think we dont pay big wages. You wouldnt hold on to the likes of Nikas, Payne and Trifiro if you werent coughing up some decent cash. 

Silly season has started:

Dominic Cox - APIA to Hakoah 
Adrian Vlastelica - APIA to Sydney United
Sean O'Connor - APIA to Marconi
