pb - how did alex read play?

newcastle boy

Like a beast one to keep an eye on.

Be very interesting if we have a decent season how many of these young lads will still be in Townsville.

-PB

Personally i think they need to work on thier technical skills and for get the attitude and fitness.They looked and played like rugby players IMO and with respect.

#5 on their back line wasn't a spring chicken lol

Quite a fiery match.

Fark not looking forward to playing City/Olympic lol, dat goal difference.

-PB

have played against him for many years, starting in newcastle state league juniors through to state league first grade. he's never really impressed me tbh. everytime i've played him i've marked him out of the game, and although he scored a bunch of goals in newcastle state league they always seemed to be penalties - and i could never understand the hype (apart from being athletic, i thought he was one of the easiest strikers to mark in state league first grade tbh). he's related to robbie middleby somehow, hence how he got the jets youth gig (plus that was after playing for the fury, which tbh was a surprise he got that gig until finding out it was middleby who set it all up), and he was extremely underwhelming in the jets youth campaign until they tried to get him out of newcastle by setting up some asian trials. but it's good to hear he's playing well up there. hopefully he comes good & makes a career in the hal.

btw - sorry to talk myself up for a bit :lol:

AKA a hack-fest! :d

Football as it should be! Enjoy it.

fair call, were my sentiments after the first game I saw.
Still, I will support the club as much as I can. In time I think we all want this to be a genuine second tier with strength throughout a wide variety of regions.

Round 4 Highlights

Love that this league is getting decent attention, would love to see FTA coverage one day.

Beat me to it. :lol: That dead fish. <3 Fury were very wasteful.

Fuck yeah.

Whole highlights was all Fury, not one WP shot on goal.

Should of buried them CQFC style tbh.

-PB

Yea, way too many porkys in that WP side, put em all on a diet.

Shame that Fury's ground isn't one to write home about, still a brilliant crowd and hopefully those awesome jerseys are flying out the door! Fury are now officially my second team.

@ El Toro, dw mate my team Spirit haven't won a game and are bottom and it will be a long season for us, there's plenty in the same boat hahaha :( Add that to SFC coming 7th having spent twice as much as anyone else in the league, and Arsenal only just now looking threatening to finish in the top 4, I've had an absolute shocker for all of my teams this year :(

that kit clash between City and CQ is fucking awful, what the hell is wrong with CQ.

from the highlights clip, i counted 5 chances from long balls. i'm sure they played nice and all, just thought i'd point that out.

so are you going to change your username to 4wanderer4gcu4?

lol sorry my definition of long ball is from the keeper ala Theo style, not from midfielders or the occasional FB pushing forward.

-PB

ah all good. makes sense when i re-read what you wrote.

i first read it & thought "not a single long-ball, wow".

hopefully you guys will capitalize on more chances next round, a few squandered ones in there.

when can average non-NQ folks get ahold of a jersey?

Fury ready to unleash against cellar-dwellers

Several games canceled today.

Western Pride 1 Redlands United 4
CQFC Energy 3 Brisbane Strikers 4
FNQ FC Heat 1 Olympic FC 1

Northern Fury have defeated Queensland Academy of Sport 6-1 in a great game.
QAS are not the same team as they were under David abela but the fury played well, once again #14 Michael Eisenhutt was all over them.

PS i think it is time the F troop made up a song for mick.

Alex Read was a beast again scoring a good hattrick and eddsy was superb when he came on scoing 2 himself.....in the top 6 now, crowd was 10 short of 2000 people...

-pb any chance of a first-hand detailed description of alex read every game for me?

WESTERN Pride striker Russell "Rusty" Woodruffe had an extra reason to enjoy his first goal in the National Premier League.

It was against a former club Redlands United.

"I'm absolutely thrilled with my goal," he said. "It was a nice moment to score."

Although Western Pride lost 4-1, Woodruffe found plenty of positives after scoring from a terrific Peter Drager cross in the first half at the North Ipswich Reserve.

"It's been a few games coming," Woodruffe said of his reward in the fifth match of the NPL season.

"But we are working in the right direction.

"Training has been fantastic.

"The boys are learning quickly.

"It's a competitive league.

"I think there's going to more from us throughout the year."

With a bald head and speed to burn, Woodruffe posed plenty of problems for the Redlands defence before coming off in the second half of Saturday night's game.

At 27, Woodruffe is one of the oldest players in the talent-rich Pride side. However, the former Easts and Redlands midfielder/striker is one of the most experienced having played in previous State League and Premier League competitions.

"It's a great opportunity for the boys and all of them are taking it with both hands," he said.

"We're playing teams that are very experienced. There's some great players.

"The first half I thought was our best football we played all year. We were the better side and it's about taking that through for the full 90 minutes. And that's another learning experience for the boys."

Pride player/coach Kasey Wehrman agreed after he watched the entire game from the sideline.

"I was impressed with the boys," Wehrman said.

"In the first half, we were the better team and deserved to go in (to the break) with a lead. But a little lapse of concentration there, I'm a little disappointed with that.

"In the second half, we were still comfortable and things were going all right."

That was until second-placed Redlands scored a goal from nothing and continued to capitalise on some good fortune.

Wehrman said patience was needed as his team deals with testing situations, especially with a new backline again on Saturday night.

Pride also lost consistent midfielder Lincoln Rule before the game with a hamstring niggle and speedster Jay Kitching needed a head bandage after copping a knock. Kitching played on in his usual robust style on the ball.

Wehrman also praised Jeye Comerford for lifting his workrate.

Pride constructed plenty of scoring chances, firing a number of shots wide or well over the bar.

That's something the young side has to work on as it stabilises its backline and builds communication.

"We're not a team that's been together long enough to dig ourselves out of big holes," Wehrman said.

"It is patience. Keeping it nice and tight and we did that for a good majority of the game."

Macuace is the best player by far in the league.
