2016 National Premier League thread

[AZZURRI73]

All good, my intentions were to never bring any unwanted attention to your club, I have a dislike of hypocrites and Tonester put a massive target upon himself.

All the best for the season ahead, that goes to you to Tonester.

Tonester was the one who was trying to bring attention to the club and most probably due to what he perceives as past injustices. Just don't find it appropriate for someone who has not been involved in and capacity for at least 12-18 months to make comments as to having inside information on the operating of the club.

As always the club are hoping for a good season and hopefully will be able to cause a few upsets. They have relied on players who actually want to be there rather than spending outlandish $$$ to attract players who simply aren't worth those $$$.

As someone who comes from outside the Newcastle football fraternity it never ceases to amaze me how insular & insecure the supporters are. You really need to try to handle criticism whether or not it is justified & not allow people such as myself to upset the status quo.In answer to Azzuri 73 no one has been in contact with me to pull my head in, I choose to do it myself.If people have taken offense at any of my posts I apologise no offense was intended.

Why apologise Tonester. You have given as good as you have got. You don't seem to be the one getting upset

[Ker-Plunk]

You don't seem to be the one getting upsetI'm not upset per se just a tad disillusioned & disappointed that my comments have been misinterpreted by people who don't have a knowledge of the goings on at a club level other than their own club . I understand though.

From the Herald,

'Tanchevski stood down on Wednesday after six seasons with the club, who he took from the bottom of first division to promotion and three consecutive play-offs in the top northern NSW league, including grand final glory in 2014. He told Jaffas players on Thursday night of his decision which he made because of mounting business commitments, a desire to spend more time with his family and his inability to complete the required B-licence coaching course this week.'

Are Northern still pushing that as a requirement for this season?

It's an FFA directive not northern

So those other half dozen that dropped out assuming they are NPL coaches and did drop out are going to be forced to resign as well?

Not surprised at all about this development, he should have stepped down (or stood down) at the end of last season. Heard from people in the know that Jaffas pre-season has been very ordinary with the senior squad only being finalised in just the last week or two. At this level you need a head coach to be 100%, not goig to write Jaffas off as they have a lot of quality in their squad but will be interesting to see if they can maintain the same standard they have maintained for the past 3 seasons.

[chocolate soldier]

any change in coach for that team will bring massive improvement, they might be excited about the change

Does anyway else find it weird that the National Premier League which kicks off in three days has little or no coverage in media, either NBN or Newcastle Herald. It is suppose to be the highest elite competition in Northern NSW, if you didn't follow the game, you wouldn't know it kicked off this week.
Even the FFA Cup got two paragraphs in the paper of the results between four Premier league teams from Saturday night ????

Newfm even though I understand has kicked off where the Premier league hasn't, but it seems to get more coverage, especially from Newyty.

Will there be similar reports available on the NPL games.

Just think NNSW is doing a %$^& job, marketing and advertising their showpiece competition through mainstream media ????

You don't say??

Beats me why the showcase comp is only starting now when New FM started what 6 weeks ago

So having an elite comp that goes 4 months of the year for the majority of sides is beneficial how??

Throw some more teams in play each other 3 times but make it a 6 month comp FFS.

It has been 7.5 months since the comp ended last season FFS

Nrl has kicked off mate, only so much room in the paper and on the news when you have 4 pages and 4 new stories devoted to the knoughts. It's a joke.

[big jim]

Newcastle herald has a nice story on Newcastle baseball this morning
Plenty of crap about how Boogaard is picked on
Full pages of golf and AFL
Even a page to the future champions
But nope can't find any NPL
Or the other bug story either, you know the finger one

Grand Final October Long weekend ( Saturday night )
U19 Grand Final

Newfm Grand Final
NPL Grand final 7.30 kickoff Saturday night

[GO AWAY]

If the clubs cant afford it excuse comes up, DONT play players exorbitant amounts of money.

Say someone is on $1000 a game over 18rounds = $18000

$18000 over 27 rounds $666.66 a game

STILL way too much

My prediction for 2017.
NPL will have a 12 team comp (current 10 teams plus Lakes and Wallsend).
Teams play each other twice = 22 rounds.

Maybe swap CCB and Valentine, I think Valentine may get a few surprise results.
If Maitland have a few injuries to key players they will be close to the wooden spoon with the lack of depth in the squad, strong 11 but nothing below.

Have heard that Broadley has walked outon Maitland as well. That's 2 local loyal players in Ben Kelly and Broadley that have walked out in 2 weeks. Is all not well up at Maitland. Has Piggo already offside with the players similar to what happened at Weston

[Bremsstrahlung]

Don't think maitland will finish bottom.
A piggo team will be able to fight and scrap, if they need to. He did well with a below average team at southy (compared to other clubs their squad was young and not as star studded) so with some decent players he's more than capable.
The question is how many existing players will have their feathers ruffled. He has a knack of polarising people and is honest in his appraisal. Some people don't like that.

[RAM]

Good luck to Will Kam at Valentine.

Nice kid, who was one of the better youngsters in the Northern Inland Premier League.

Maitland were happy to sit 11 people behind the ball and counter

[Bremsstrahlung]

How'd Cardiff go?

South Cardiff lost 1-0 to Cooks Hill.


Game was average. Carter is a massive loss and all grades will struggle if he misses games. The poor goalkeeping saw 2 blowout Scorelines.
But Yeh, magic did what they needed to do. But struggled in the opening passages. The first goal opened the flood gates and was incredibly soft and Carter could've saved at least 4 of those I think. Kale and Virgili on the wings is dangerous! So much skill and pace.

Not sure how I feel about the sexist comments coming from some people at the ground towards the female assistant referee.

It's a semi professional league everything comes at a cost, players, coaches etc and most definitely fan loyalty, a fan may more often choose to follow a player rather than a club. Which could mean a new club every two years.

The club mentality dwindles or is non existent.

Maguire didn't play, another week away I think.
Yes minors left........
Thought azzuri were going to pinch it in the end with fresh legs.... they hit the post/crossbar three times through the game.
Blonde curly haired #6 for valo? honking, passed it to no one, or over the sideline a lot, so not sure who you were watching. But #6 is from the central coast I believe.
U22 very physical game valo two sendoffs and lots of yellows.

Good point but the truth I would think is much much more than a monthly meeting and helping out on match day. I know for a fact a number of clubs who invest a lot of time and money into their clubs and grounds and in the case of clubs like magic where there was and always is a team of committee and helpers when in construction mode. We should be careful not to rubbish hard working and progressive clubs. It is interesting though that a number of clubs who get their hands dirty have been most successful in the last few years. I think it would also be fair to say that massive cash injections into a club don't guarantee good club culture or a cabinet full of trophys. I think this years A-league champions are a perfect example for all clubs in Australia to follow.

Pretty sure no.6 is Darren Cooper, played for Valo the year they were relegated.Went back to the Coast after that.Fancies himself as a gun.

[Why Blue]

Archibald in goals, yeah he called for the ball coming off the line, and got nowhere near it, first valo goal, was a quick free kick while azzuri were taking to long to get organised for an unmarked olzomer to head home.
Maguire didn't play, another week away I think.
Yes minors left........
Thought azzuri were going to pinch it in the end with fresh legs.... they hit the post/crossbar three times through the game.
Blonde curly haired #6 for valo? honking, passed it to no one, or over the sideline a lot, so not sure who you were watching. But #6 is from the central coast I believe.
U22 very physical game valo two sendoffs and lots of yellows.
U19 haT trick to one young bloke in first half had valo down 4-1 at HT
First Grade 2-2
U22 1-0

That's what he promised Valo for the job I think, only brought three but, his two sons and a striker. Was a enjoyable win for CCB U19 yesterday. 6-3

Think a couple of valo boys might be jumping ship and coming to Azzuri.... so no biggy.... just abit of swappies.

Seriously I couldnt believe when CCB let this bloke coach, now I can't believe Valo would be so stupid

History repeats, there has been trouble were ever he goes , is it always the club?? Or might it be the man???

I imagine CCB would be glad to see him gone and the sons now maybe some other warners bay influences and the club might have a chance

Now they might give some 17's the opportunity they deserve

Do you seriously think that the clubs really worry about who coaches the 17's and 19's, there just happy someone's silly enough to do it for nothing. The NPL in promotion/relegation mode is only about the top 16 players who are all generally on retainer as is the coach.

Say 5k to coach for the year, 4 sessions a week for 26 weeks that's includes game day, equates to $48 per session, if session goes for three hours including travel then that's $16 per hour. The 16 year old kids at dominoes pizza get that for waving a sign at the lights.

So what you are saying is that clubs are happy to fork out $5k or more per season for someone to coach thier youth/19 with out really caring about who it is or what they bring to the team/club, just happy to get some fool to do it ???

I was talking about the #6 which I wrote at HT. I thought he looked good first half but second not so much. Looked comfortable & mobile in the middle, happy to dictate play where he could and seems to be somewhat of a leader. Mind you, I was 50m away and judged that on 45 mins against a team that isn't going to reach any great heights this year. He probably stood out because of his do up top as well lol

I also said the Valo keeper made a bad mistake for the first CCB goal, don't know who he was though? The Valo goal was at the other end so didn't see what happened.

Not coaches responsibility to ensure players are registered, committee either registrar or secretary need to communicate to players that registration needs to be completed then committee should supply coaches/ managers with a list of registered players.

[pv4]

Pretty dumb by the players I say, their team mates should be filthy, everyone knows you need to register online,

I would blame the registrar & related committee members. It's up to the admin of the club to let coaches know who they can & can't choose to play each week. Surely whoever takes charge of rego @ Edgy should have a list of people who are registered but not financial, who are fully registered, and who are not registered. All they needed to do was say "don't play that guy this week, he hasn't paid/registered yet".

It's the same as suspensions - coaches should pick their strongest team each week and it's up to the club admin to tell the coaches they can't pick a certain player due to suspension that week. Obviously this eg takes into account that NNSW would need to do their job in notifying the club of the suspension.

So with Pratty leaving Weston, we're is his likely destination? Which teams would be interested in taking him? Surely he will find another gig in the npl and not have to drop down to NewFm.

There is a couple of cashed up NewFM clubs, 1 in particular has a Weston connection. Wherever he goes he is a walk up start, would be an improvement to any NewFM team and some NPL teams.

The way the registration process works is a two fold system.
The player themselves registers on my football club, but then the club administration have to approve and ensure the appropriate paperwork is filed with Northern. (Doesn't mean you wouldn't be annoyed though, but the fault may not be with the player themselves).

[Why Blue]

You sir are a strange man

Happy to be different in my thoughts to you

But while you are still assuming every one knows everything

Did everyone know that a player aged under 18 years of age cannot register online via FFA web site for a senior NPL team
The only option that comes up is for NPL youth 17's
It is as issue with the site
If I were Edgeworth or any other club facing same I would be protesting
How can you penilise someone for not doing something you did not facilitate ????

Wouldn't mind seeing how many players left under piggo as apposed to Trev...

[ForeverRed]

They may have left under piggo but he did make the gf, Trev has a lot of ground to make up

[immersion]

at a slightly different angle to the Pratt situation. Fairly often a couple of members on here say that players have no loyalty blah blah blah. They go around chasing the money etc. And to some degree i do agree.

I think it's fair to say that there is no loyalty in football period

Or maybe at Weston they don't like people that succeed? Piggo does well and he gets the punt. Pratt goalkeeper of the year and gets the punt. Perhaps, people at Weston are best off underperforming?

[Why Blue]

I'm sorry, how did every other player in the competition register?

I'm sorry, I will type slower for you

The problem was if you turned 16 or 17 this year, and wanted to register for an NNSWF NPL club then the only option that came up was NPL youth 17's registering for senior NPL was not an option offered
This probably effected a few but certainly not every other player !!!!

The penalty would only stand in the nnswf kangaroo court, if you are going to make people do something a certain way than you have to ensure that the people can do it, can't then penalise people for them not being able to do something your software could not accommodate

There was a fix, but it took club involvement so took it out if player hands

So back to reds comment that every player knows, yes maybe but they can't do what the system won't allow

[Ker-Plunk]

even if he registered in 17s he would be right . dumb by club, were there u/17s in 22s

Much appreciated. However, they are the only club to lose points? So everybody else must have figured it out of rested their players.
Docking of points is justified if that is the case. What are they going to protest? If they are the only ones who can't register a player before playing them, they have no excuses.
At the end of the day the club has a print off or access to a list of registered players.

[Why Blue]

End of the day the club has to make sure their players are eligible to play even if the player should've known. Responsibility ends with the committee.

Correct
I know forever red will have trouble accepting that a committee might have made a mistake
It's easy to call every one dumb and to assume every one knows as much as every one else but end of the day obviously not every one knew and ultimately it is the registrar who has to know who is good to play and who is not
That's why team mates can't be filthy at each other in this instance, filthy with club yes or committee yes

[ForeverRed]

So your telling a bloke turns up to play knowing he hasn't registered himself online yet it's someone else's fault, don't think so

[BP Super Dynamos]

Pratty has signed with Magic, according to my sources

[Speedymetric]

[The Magician]

Anybody know tonight's scores?

Edgy 2-0... But NNSWF just found out the ref was not registered and awarded the points to the old man with 3 teeth missing sitting in the corner at Edgie Bowlo.

[Goatscheese]

So your telling a bloke turns up to play knowing he hasn't registered himself online yet it's someone else's fault, don't think so

He has been training with the squad for months, he may have even payed rego to the club. It is still the committees fault for not ensuring every player in their squad is registered.

Considering this is a semi-professional outfit and the squad is selected the committee should ensure that the squad that has been selected by their officials can play and if one isn't they are responsible for informing the coach and manager. Had the coach and manager ignored that then the blame rests with the coach and manager, but if no one informs them they aren't to know.

But as WB said you can't accept that committee members make mistakes, so no point hashing over it. Committee members are volunteers so sometimes they will make mistakes they just need to accept it, own up to their failings and learn from it to prevent it happening again.

[Tonester]

Nice little dust up with Edwards and Heffernan on weekend, anyone know what the issue was, don't see things go that far much in back play usually

Meet you all at the emerging jets rant thread

You only had to see Heffernans previous efforts, he had cheap shots at about three other players before he found Edwards. You keep stirring the possum
, you'll surely find one that's going to give it back. Valo. got the free kick so it must have been Heffernan that started it

About the only thing that Edwards guy is good at. He defiantly can't play

Same with heffernan. He's not a #9!!

Disastrous result for Jets Youth yesterday. Can't fathom why they're playing only 3 at the back with a squad that paper thin. To complicate matters even more, there are no CB's in the entire squad. Combine this with a high press tactic = suicide. Many kids starting who are out of their depth at this stage of their careers. Didn't see the game yesterday, but was kept up to date. By accounts, they did well to get back to 2-2, until a fatal error from the keeper (described to me as "woeful keeping") and then one from a centre-back let Charlestown get out to a big lead to close the game out. Was told best performers were Joice (2 goals), Waller (2 assists) and Pawiak (described as "working double shifts").

Concerned the game vs Edgy could be a bloodbath....

Might be time for heff to walk away, too old, too slow and a short fuse, not a good combination.

Defiantly can't play?. Does that mean he defies not being able to play and as a result is a rather gifted player, or did you bugger up your magic and make your dickshunrey disappear.

Heffernan and Edwards should both get a minimum of 4 weeks judging by the bar tv coverage. Edwards should probably get more. The video looks like he is actually trying to stomp on or kick Heffernan as he is wrestling with 2 other valo players on the ground

Maguire will be in the next couple of weeks I think, chuck JJ in there with Hughes and Ferguson plus a heap of young blokes putting pressure on the first graders, things are looking good up on the hill.

Interesting player retention strategies from CCB

The problem is that he's body looks like he is 38.

Rofls if Magic got him to be mobile. That's probably the last word I'd use to describe him.

Well I know of 6-7 17yo/18yo playing in 22s, including one getting first grade time, who defeated Valentine, then had a draw with the so called "elite " 18yo"s of NNSW, so there must be some talent coming through. Some good kids coming through in the 19s, if they all stick to the ONE club, and don't go club hopping or playing Newfm First grade because its " First Grade " the club will be in good shape.
