With all the talk about the lads from PAMFC U19's I thought it might be time to give a bit of a run down on whats been going on over there.

I have been to 2 of the 4 games they have played and have spoken to coaching staff about their progress and performances since starting. I am going from memory but the only 3 players I can recall making the best players in any of these 4 matches are Jay Shannon, Luke Harder and Corey Grove. Jay has played all 4 and got best last week. Luke H played the first 2 (in best players) and has played reserves since. Corey played the first 3 (8 goals and very good in round 1 but not much in the other 2) and played reserves last week.
Of the others (and apologies if I leave anybody out) Glen Schreiber has played 3 of the 4 (scratchy in the 1st but fairly handy in the others) Christian Dorward played his first game last week and played OK I'm told. Matt Cretty has played 3 and has been OK, Caleb Howell has played 4 and has been OK, Luke Carey has played 3 and been OK Brad Keast has played 2 and probably a bit down although one of his trial matches was good, Jack Nelligan has played 4 and has been good (sorry he has got in the best players at least once as well).

Excluding the issue of taking time to settle in, I reckon most of the boys are finding their feet in the big smoke and have not yet played to their full potential consistently. I agree with Leo that PAMFC U19's would beat the PLFL and GFFL teams as most of these lads, who were walk in starters for their local clubs, are having to battle for a game each week, such is their quality and depth.

I believe Christian has signed with Virginia (coached by Greg Phillips) and will play for them when not in Port's side. If that is the case that would put him out of action this week for Bostons. Port Reserves coach has apparently told his squad to have a rest this weekend and not play so Corey grove may not line up for Waybacks. U'19 coach has told his country boys they can play for their home side if they want so Glen (who has not signed with Port Districts or anyone else yet) will probably line up in the magoos for Rangers.

good to hear from someone who actually knows what they are on about cheers steiger, wasn't disagreeing with leo about the quality of port u/19 but i get a fair bit of amusement listening to him crap on about stuff he has no idea about, i reckon he must be that retarted supporter every club has.

[coyote ugly]

so let me get this straight, the U19s is a step up from our a grade yet when they come back they play magoos. where is the logic in that?

am i missing something or are marble range just an exception?

[tiger07andbeyond]

I spoke with Blot Davey at the post office and he told me BP was definatly playing in the friday game

[another grub]

Luke Yancic trained well last night for Lincoln South...... Has a clearance form gone in for him HS?

not that i have heard, but if its has then i would hope it has been cleared in time for him to play. if there is any hold up, ring me and i will organise it myself! good luck to luke, he will be an assest to souths!

[coyote ugly]

Another interesting clearance came throught last night regarding the TFC last night. Great pick up for them from where he is coming from, he must be able to play having come from that standard.

judging by the abuse hurled Harry's way on Sunday some Port fans are wishing he stayed in PL.....

Is Shaun Burgoyne coming back as well?

For what it's worth here is my prediction for the premiership ladder at end of the minor round -

W - major losses have been more than covered by some excellent recruits and plenty of them. Definitely stronger than last year. Plethora of small midfielders/forwards (with ability)
MR - 5 or 6 major losses have been offset somewhat by some inclusions but will be weaker than last year. 3 in a row may be just beyond them.
MP - By all reports have recruited strongly and would not surprise to see them at the top, however I have a feeling something will implode within the club this year which will affect their performance. No Jones who despite his age and lack of pace, still set them up time and again last year.
B - Improved from last year but not to the extent of W or MP and I still rate them just behind MR
T - Battle between them and LS as to who will be granted the concessions applicable to the bottom side such as "Untouchables" (and we will find out next week if that still remains a concession. It will be interesting to see if the League adheres to the rules they set themselves)
LS - feeling sorry for them already and I reckon W, MP and B should each give them one quality player. MR can't as they are all "Untouchables"
