Is sam parker the young striker from Lakes

Who scored 38/39 goals this season? That's Sam Walker.

[seldom]

Sam Parker from Southy I believe.

[winner]

Six strikers ? Theyre all going to be happy there

They will all be happy. Aren't all clubs mandated to coach and play 4 3 3 now as the ffa curriculum dictates. So that's 3 forwards for first grade and 3 forwards for 22s. Perfect numbers

[Goatscheese]

Surely the NPL clubs senior side can do what they want, along with the rest of the club sides. Even though the FFA wants all clubs to be developing kids in line with their current formation

[cobra23]

Are you able 2 divulge ? Olympic reunion with goody maybe.? Wouldnt be edgy they signed Mcbreen. Magic have kale faj. Maybe Maitland? Adamstown signed Berlin. Surely wouldn't go to Weston?

I heard jaffas & adamstown,
to partner john maj for jaffas or chris Berlin for adamstown

[Bremsstrahlung]

Sam Parker from Southy I believe.

Promising squad player. Won't be too cut up not playing first grade.

Yep Pritchard has left aswell. Im sure they will have a few aces up there sleeve. Mcbreen will help with Recruitment of some players I reckon. Time will tell.

Any truth to the rumours about both Adam and Joel griffths playing at lambton?

Apart from the rumoured signing of Dylan Murphy, any news on incomings for Weston? They'll need a few signings with the confirmed departures of L Thornton, Oakley, Subat and Sparre. I'd be surprised to see Cowburn and Monie return, add to that the continued murmurings of C Thornton heading to Maitland. If all these leave, there's some massive holes to fill

[Imyourhero]

Where's Oakley heading? He has alot of potential.

I heard Maitland. Watched him 5 or 6 times. Gotta say I thought he struggled in the games I watched.

[Goweston]

The Weston mascot has also signed at Maitland apparently. Maitland to be renamed the Maitland bears. Prefers the wind at cooks square Park blowing through his fur too keep him cool

[Imyourhero]

Makes sense. Piggo brought him to Weston. I think he has half a brain, some focused coaching could see him become a long time player in the league. Pretty sure he's about 19-21ish?

Any idea about what birdys plans are ?

[Tonester]

Any idea about what birdys plans are ?As far as I know if he is still working in Sydney he will probably play on the Central Coast but if he can score a job locally or in Newcastle he'll play up there. He's a qualified carpenter so if you know anyone looking for a tradie let me know

[Cunning stunts]

Yeah. I think he would be very handy for any team

Maitland will appeal and it will be overturned. The story I was told was that they couldn't prove he did play in the game.

Doubt it will get overturned. I hardly think that Macquarie would sanction the bloke without some form of evidence saying he had played.

It won't be overturned on multiple eye witness accounts including macquarie officials and referees who were there on the day. How do you think it will be overturned? Witnesses 1 2 3 4 5 &6 can you identify the player. The 6 witnesses identify Ryan Clarke. Ryan Clarke's reply, " it wasn't me, it was my mate Nick Harmon".
Ohhhh, ok sorry Ryan , our mistake you can continue playing

[MFKS]

Without photo evidence it's ones word against another.

I would think that they would have more than 1 witness saying it was him to get the sanction he got.


From the article in todays Herald it seems they are interested in an appeal on the severity of the punishment

Yeah the punishment is excessive no doubt but we all know the rules so play by them.


It also to me indicates some acknowledgement of the illegal player issue being him to be true.
If it was not true the appeal would be based on the wasn't him aspect and it was someone else and they have the wrong man

[hawk]

Does this consequence fit this crime?

I think Kahibah went through anyway so the finals werent really affected.

12 months is a fair wack although this stuff does need to be stamped out.

maybe a fine (money goes to Kahibah and assoc) and shorter suspension? or smash him for longer? idk

[NewyTy]

I think ATown went through anyway so the finals werent really affected.

Adamstown went through but were rightfully kicked out due to playing with a ring-in. Kahibah went to Semi's instead. I played in this grade and our first game was against a nine-man Adamstown. Think they had issues with numbers a couple of times. There's been a fair bit of publicity compared to what you'd normally see so hopefully it does make players and teams think twice next time. Bringing an NPL player into AA/H grade is a totally unfair advantage.

[Goatscheese]

Without photo evidence it's ones word against another.

From the Herald's article "Macquarie Football, who handle interdistrict disciplinary matters, had received evidence from witnesses who identified Clarke as the player." Plural is used there so it would appear more than one person's word against Clarke. Also don't you think they would need to prove it before issuing a ban?

As MFKS said Maitland have indicated they will be appealing the length of the sentence and not the sentence itself. But I don't see an issue with him being banned from playing for that long, a high profile player with that many years experience deserves to have the book thrown at him simply because he should know better.

Fair enough and I was under the understanding that it was only 1 person who came forward as a witness, also seeing as though he is registered through NNSWF shouldn't NNSWF hand down the ban? I find it strange that NNSWF have left it in the hands of Macquarie as he doesn't fall under their banner.

If he did it then I'm happy for a big ban but maybe not 12 months, either way if I was a Maitland official I would be filthy at him.

So how come Adamstown weren't hit with a large fine or some other penalty for playing a ring in-they must have known and just being kicked out of the final series hardly fits the crime.

But he played in a competition run by Macquarie Football so they would determine any disciplinary actions for incidents that occur in their competitions.

Oh no doubt they have been pissed off.

They as in the club? It's an all-age team I doubt the club had any idea who played the game until the association told them they had been kicked out. And having the team disqualified from the competition is a serve punishment on the team. Not one of those registered players got to continue to play for any remaining finals games.

Anti-pies? Mate Clarke could be playing for my club and I would still say the same thing. I have never said anything against Maitland, so I'm surprised you can even come to the conclusion that I have an anti-pies mentality.

Ryan Clarke definitely did not play, full stop,

Golf or football?

[ForeverRed]

Neither

[Speedymetric]

Neither
Something a bit strange about this case. Somebody obviously knew at the time or had suspicions that a player was unregistered & a ring in or there would have been no complaint. If so & in this day & age when everyone has a mobile phone in their pocket why wouldn't somebody take a photo to provide undeniable proof of the situation. Also if it was a finals game was there no video evidence what so ever? I have no idea if Clarke played or not but if I was in the team that hadn't played against a bloke all year & there was speculation he was an illegal player the first thing I would do is get concrete evidence through a photo that he actually played. I wouldn't rely on a "he said she said" situation which my team may have won or may have been knocked back.

It seems to me that even at this point in time that Azzuri would be my favorites to be relegated.They will rely on guys like Smith who is only half the player without Goody,Tull who is well past his best,Sullini,Ross,Hughes and a couple of others who aren't getting any younger. The young guys they promote will make enough mistakes each game through inexperience to cost them points which I think will seal their fate.I hope I'm wrong but they need to get proactive in recruitment or Prycey is in for a hard year.

So three players have left, wow, wheres it say birdy wont be at azzuri, 100+ games for the club now, Surely that would mean something, would mean alot to me, and apparently have a young striker from Manly to partner smithy, never know, he might be a goody, ross will be able to play in his true position this year, laman was their best, as far as i know hes still there, sulini, hughes, ferguson, tully, young minors will go ahead, GK will be better for last year, and i think 22s coach bringing some of his boys to strengthen 22s and add some depth to put pressure on the first graders.
Kept the majority of the 19s to play in U19 comp again, except for two who were promoted to the senior squad at 17, so they should be pretty strong in the 19s.
First grade probably need a Number 10 and a Danny Burt type CB ( Without the reds ), which i hear a couple on the radar, so they will be fine.

This coach stood up in front of all youth at CCB youth preso and committed to recruiting quality players to ensure the clubs success
He commented that 2015 made them as seniors realise that the youth relied on the performance of first grade and confirmed that CCB had some quality youth that the club needed to develop
All positive stuff but seems to be all talk ????
Which is what I suspected at the time but I know of players who stayed based on this churchillian speech and the speech of the one who eyes off the presidency !!!!

Mate the talented youth you speak about is a few years of first grade...... This years 17's didn't offer to much but there are a few from this years 15's that will develop in the coming years but only two of those have made 19's ........but watch the 15yo mid fielder he can play !!!!

But they will take time.........something CCB may not have

If a certain someone has a quick recovery, gets in a half decent preseason and gets decent service he'll score goals.I'm intrigued, who are you referring to? Not Smithy surely!Gotta be someone else although I'd love to know who will provide these defense splitting services.

[Thomas477]

This coach stood up in front of all youth at CCB youth preso and committed to recruiting quality players to ensure the clubs success
He commented that 2015 made them as seniors realise that the youth relied on the performance of first grade and confirmed that CCB had some quality youth that the club needed to develop
All positive stuff but seems to be all talk ????
Which is what I suspected at the time but I know of players who stayed based on this churchillian speech and the speech of the one who eyes off the presidency !!!!

What else are they gonna say? Look everyone, chances of you making 1st grade are incredibly low, and we really rely on the expensive fees we charge to pad the pockets of the 1st grade.


Disclaimer: not that people do that, just used it as an example.

You have misunderstood,the speech wasn't necessarily about promising youth first grade spots but more about how the club had a scare this year and they realised that they had to recruit to be stronger and stay in NPL

Something it seems they have not done

Considering the line of current posts can anyone put forward a case for another team to be favorites to face the drop?

Are charlestown showing their desperation in signing josh maguire for next season. I still remember seeing him take his bat and ball and walk out on the team after being dropped to the bench 2 years ago. Do they honestly think anything will change this time around.

Why is that, im sure he will do a job, at a guess, most of squad, tull, smith, hughes, ferguson, maguire etc would be late 20s, early 30s so need to start blooding some U22 and get some depth involved, which i do believe Prycey is all about...

The guy was made captain of the side, offered little by way of performance, carried on a treat in regard to his own situation re his contract being upgraded to match Troy Hearfield played like a loser then walks out on his team(most of which are still there)20 minutes before kickoff.I can only imagine what the rest of the guys must be thinking!

Clearly the protests of one or more senior players led the club to sack piggo.

Four Weston players now playing under him at Maitland, it was a mistake letting him go.

I would imagine the Thornton Brothers being quite good mates with the Thompson Brothers had something to do with the switch, hence why they were close to joining last year.

Props to Reece Thompson, seems to of gotten a couple of players there now because they're mates. Good to see money doesnt make the world go round.
Would of preferred if he had different friends though

[curious_fan]

Curious about opinions....... with most NPL and some NewFM clubs now commencing serious training and planning trials etc (not forgetting NewFm have their first competitive game on Feb 20th with FFA Cup) at what stage should clubs be allowed to start registering players?

By that I mean, when should clubs feel confident they can lock their sides in and not lose player/s due to late approaches from other clubs? Should FFA allow registrations earlier than January? Would it make much difference?

And it isnt just 1st Grade , I'm considering the Youth Grades also being impacted by possible player merri-go-rounds.

If you think registering a player is going to lock him in your dreaming, unless your on a professional contract you can come and go as you please

Surely this is said tongue in cheek GoWeston.

Did he sign anything or was it just an agreement. My understanding is that players can't be registered yet so what did he sign?

[ForeverRed]

The only thing an amateur player can sign is a player/club agreement which basically outlines club rules and regs, stateing the player must attend training g wear club uniform etc etc, most clubs have these, being registered makes no difference either as an amateur can come and go as they please, the only way to tie a player to a club is to lodge a professional contract with nnswf, this then becomes an expensive exercise as the said player must be on a minimum wage as per A League regulations,

[cobra23]

At the end of the day players come and go at every club, its better for him to leave now then early next year so piggot has time to find a replacement.
we dont know his situation.
even at magic next year i expect a couple to leave early on who are not playing regular football, its a long year to train 3 nights a week plus game day 8 months of the year to only play 18 games.

the points system is part of all NPL competitions and was introduced by FFA, NNSWF have nothing to do with its introduction, nnswf actually battled ffa to have the original concept hosed down to suit local football, during the inaugural year the points system was perfect to stop clubs buying and building squads with out promoting developement, FFA went and changed it in the second year and in its current format its worthless, blaming nnswf is way off the mark.
