Front Runners: Olympic look to have recruited quite well, and i think are probably slight fav's at this point. Even though edgy have lost a few players, i think after doing the double last year they will be right there. However i think edgy need to manage a few key players and ensure they keep them of the pitch all year.

Darkhorse: Maitland have probably recruited best out of any NPL team, and with arguably the best coach in the NPL. Don't be surprised to see them right in there fighting it out at the business end of the season.

Wooden spoon: Unfortunately for Valentine i can't really see them winning to many games. The step up in class i think well be too much, as they haven't recruited enough quality.

Big call that Maitland have recruited best out of any NPL team . Unless they have a few signings i haven't heard about?
I would think either Magic or Olympic but just my opinion.
MAGIC - Jarryd Johnson, Shane Paul ,James Virgili and will have Alex Kanta back

That's why a lot of 19s and 22s leave, may take a season or two, but sooner or later the realisation that new players, not youth players is what these two clubs want.

Seriously, if clubs want to be successful and stay successful they need to bring 2-3 players into their playing group every year to freshen things up and that's what these clubs do and do well. To say none of their players come through the ranks to 1st grade is wrong. These 2 clubs retain a core group of 1st grade players and build around. Magic have Higgins, Piddo, Virgili, Griffiths, Haynes, Pettit,l who have all been there for 5 years or more. Throw in Bradbury, Hoole and Kanta who all came through the juniors. So that's 9 of their starting 11 virtually.
Olympic have Swan ,Swan, Hodges, Bailey, Brown, Koina with 5 years plus and Campbell, Davies and Cooper who came through juniors so that's 9 out of their starting 11 in last years Gf.
Maybe the standard to play 1st grade at These Clubs is higher then it is at Southy and other clubs which is why not as many juniors make the step up to 1st grade

This is the most ridiculous statement i have ever heard in my life. Go ahead Goatscheese and name me all the Maco's playing 1st at Broadmeadow or Greeks playing 1st grade at Hamilton. You don't need to be Maco or Greek to play 1st grade there. You just need to be good enough. Just because little Johnny played juniors with a club doesn't mean he is entitled to or is ever going to play 1st grade there

Perhaps you should ask the Magic player I spoke to he is the one that believes it and he isn't the only one to have expressed similar sentiments before. I noticed you left out the second half of his statement though.

And while you might not need to be Maco to play at Magic it certainly helps if little Јован is.

If the players that have been at them clubs for five years or more played for another club, that would make that club strong as well...... point is players flock to one club to win championships and $$$ , if all them players played in a orange shirt, light blue shirt or a black and white striped shirt would that club be just as successful.

Add in, the boss, who i think has done a great job, taking abit of a step back with Young dinardo now president and more then ten blokes on the committee for a change, i truly believe they will be back in their glory days in the near future. May help getting some players back there, if that was the reason players werent knocking on the door like the old days.

We have had 18s before

The 20s is a first from memory

Reality is the FFA are pushing this through across the country as the way ahead. You can moan all you like about it but it is being done to further the game in this country not to look after 25 year old players who aren't good enough for first grade in the NPL

Hi Go AWAY , Can I kindly ask what you base this comment on with regard Atown ?

Atown had an under 17s player make the bench for 1st grade , had I believe about 4 or 5 players under the age of 19 start 1st grade games (with two playing all of the season in 1st grade) and had multiple under 22s sit on the bench and start games during the course of the season.

I would harness the view that Atown afford youth a fair amount of opportunities in 1st grade.

Don't for a moment think that CCB didn't try to sign up to 4-6 senior first grade players from other clubs for 2016 because they did.

The only difference between CCB and the other clubs you mention is that CCB were not able to entice them over - I know for a fact they tried very hard to sign senior players from other clubs.

The only reason CCB have gone with mostly last years squad and some untried 17-20 year olds is because they couldn't attract senior players from other clubs (for whatever reason).

Same as any league in the world. The weaker clubs can bid all they like for the better players but the better players will always go to the stronger clubs

No different when some off contract HAL player is hit up by the Jets Perth City Smurfs Wankers etc.

Sure there are lessons that can be learned for all parties on this topic including Atown.

That said as volunteers you would tend to rely on the paid administrators of Northern NSW to keep things right from time to time and I am fairly certain Atown were cleared of any wrong doing .

FYI , Atown won 1 game NPL with Bates in the team and 7 without I believe .

But hey don't let a good witch hunt get in the way of the facts .

Given your last few posts one could be forgiven for thinking you may have a few underlying issues with Atown .

Agreed ForeverRed. Jaliens at 38 and Mcbreen at 39 are too old for this league and even though they have both had great careers i think they will struggle with the pace of the npl. Technically they will be better than most in the npl still, but from what i have watched the nnsw npl is all about pace and fitness. It will be interesting to watch these to. I think Mcbreen will do a lot better than Jaliens

That Scot for Adamstown looked unfit and slow and he did well. CB is more about reading the game than pace, so I think Kew will do well. Likewise McBreen, if he's playing as a genuine 9 he doesn't need lightning pace and will be too smart for many defences imo. Like that fat striker for the Jaffas that consistently performs...

In short a if you are good at Maths does not mean you will make a good maths teacher. Just because you played internationally does not mean you will be a good mentor....whatever a mentor supposed to do.... I can just see it now. Weston and Edgeworth are going to suddenly produce exceptional centre backs and centre forwards on the one or two hours on the two/three days a week they train/play. Either that or the centre backs and centre forwards at those two clubs are going to be the best in the league in 2016.

If anyone that knows him, knows that his personality has an extremely good chance of doing something like this, without any evidence being put forth.

Agree FR, if NNSW create a precedent by punishing a player based on an article in a newspaper, they are absolute fools.

The matter was dealt with by the appropriate authorities and therefore case closed. I'm not saying I necessarily agree with the outcome, and he should have been hit with a longer suspension in my opinion.

Ha, no doubt Maitland will be appealing as well. Nothing he can do not only did he say it publicly that it wasn't him but I assume he said it to the initial hearing with Macquarie, which he then admitted that the claim was false during the appeal which is a breach of the Code of Conduct.

Not that it matters too much but I wonder if the 12 month ban starts from now or back in November. Wonder if the four game ban is served concurrently or consecutively.

It happens every year, why should this year be any different, if players want to go there to sit on the bench just to have a good chance at winning trophies, rather then go to a lower tier NPL club and fight hard for that said team and make them a semi contender, good luck to them, their choice.

Hakan Canli, 5 clubs, Azzurri, Valo, Magic, Jaffas and Adamstown
Dino Faj, 5 clubs , Olympic, Southy, Jets, Jaffas and Magic

Most clubs have their loyal base... Magic's golden generation has been a stand out in terms of loyalty, most existing players in what should be the 2016 squad would have well over 100 first grade games under their belt for the club... but what is loyalty? 100 games (5 seasons)... 150... 200.... 250? (competition first grade games only).

Yeah you missed half of the comp..
pretty hard to compare club hoppers to players that spend a good amount of years at clubs rather then the players that spend 1 or 2 years at a club each year.
example - i would not call Berlin a club hopper considering his age and years playing. 6 or so at Edgy, a couple at Olympic and 7 plus at magic.
I think you might have to consider age, clubs & years playing to determine club hoppers.


what about players in your own backyard? there are a few there that have had 3 or more clubs and they are way under 30 years of age.

Clarke still trying to get to play, despite getting his new punishment reduced to eight months. Wonder if the FFA will care as much as Northern did about his comments not just in The Herald but on social media. If he had cut his losses at four games instead of running his mouth and talking shit about Northern and Interdistrict officials he would be playing by May.

Wonder who is paying the $2,000 appeals process, Clarke or Maitland.

Never knew about tully mate, that's a shame, but have played all pre season without him so far, so although he would be very handy, there is probably enough depth there this year to cover IF he doesn't make it back.
As far as Daniel, real shame, still don't know reasoning except can only think, as a young bloke playing a lot of first grade last year, was hard to come accustomed to being a fringe first grader again ?? Id rather him stick around and do the hard yards like his brother did and is starting to reap the rewards. But his choice and im sure he would be welcomed back one day.
Knocking off the central coast trials, Wallsend and Weston ( the latter without Smith, Tull, Maguire, Kiljn ) gives then hope that we will be ok, still lots of good young blokes there coming through.

Premy, I think you'll find tonester AKA mr Bird was spoken to offline and asked to stop posting meaningless unfounded crap online.

At the end of the day every club had issue and do their best just to get by. I find it sad that someone who was given a position at the club just to keep their son happy has to turn to this sort of media to try and make a point.

Hopefully at his new club Daniel will star turning up to training, start making an effort, make it to games even when not playing, stop turning up to games hungover and start actually wanting to be part of the team.

Yes there have been issues at CCB but a lot of those come down to players being too precious and more worried about themselves than the greater good of the team. Hopefully now they have a few players there who want to play for each other, some good young kids and Unknown prospects who may surprise a few people.

Btw so much for Daniel minors pushing himself at Jaffas if who I am hearing is true he has signed for edgy after being guaranteed a first XI spot.
