He's as good as any striker I've seen in the Premier League this season and probably better than most.Walternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3290088887405022587.post-79452513468222376192009-08-12T21:17:38.819+10:002009-08-12T21:17:38.819+10:00Status Quo, dont forget that the "wilderness&...Status Quo, dont forget that the "wilderness" DID until this year include such clubs as Kingston Cannons, Kingborough Lions,Newtown Eagles, and previously other clubs like South Hobart of which I admit, are'nt uptoPremier league level, but were highly competitive in Div 1. Dont forget Hobart United's history as well. These are all teams that have taken points off all comers in Div 1 in the past.<br />Also, I believe 8 teams in the Premier League is a step in the right direction. <br />When Ifirst started out only 5 southern clubs were involved in a then State League.<br />Div 1 with the state league was a lot more competitive.Marty Nidorferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12148773413184372668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3290088887405022587.post-7904308105173197522009-08-12T21:02:18.275+10:002009-08-12T21:02:18.275+10:00I think you're forgetting that when there was ...I think you're forgetting that when there was 10 teams in the Premier League there was a similar chasm between most of the teams and Metro/Taroona for multiple years also..Rilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13212689709337362322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3290088887405022587.post-21524671347704346462009-08-12T17:47:24.440+10:002009-08-12T17:47:24.440+10:00Because they stupidly reduced it by two at the end...Because they stupidly reduced it by two at the end of the 2008 season! They relegated both Taroona and Metro and threw them into a wilderness where the only real opposition was Beachside.<br /><br />They should have kept it a 10-team Premier League with the bottom side to play off against the Division One winners.Status Quonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3290088887405022587.post-41007519507544265662009-08-12T17:08:38.682+10:002009-08-12T17:08:38.682+10:00if there is such a chasm in standard btw the top ...if there is such a chasm in standard btw the top 2 in div 1 and the rest. why don't they extend the premiers by 2.madmcglonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13283792431948878507noreply@blogger.com
