What about the older black kettle

[Alton]

They are a special breed out edgy way... You can take the kid from the tavern, but you can't take the tavern from the kid... Better club won GF, karma is a bitch.

And don't forget its all about first grade the others can please themselves

[380]

I think you would have to go to a developed print to split the difference between hatred for Magic and Edgy. From a mutual just seems like sour grapes on not making it to the GF.

Disagree Magic there is a degree of envy for what they have but respect is there because they have worked hard to be where they are and have what they have

Edgy on the other hand there has never been the respect

Never been respect for Edgeworth ? I have a huge amount of respect for Edgeworth and the incredible success this club has had over many years, going back to the 1970's early 1990's and beyond. The club has just won two GF's and 3 Premierships in the last 3 years. Nine premierships in 20 years. Represented NNSW brilliantly in the FFA CUP, What more do you need to do to earn respect?

Totally wrong again.

dont follow anyone in npl. Edgy are ok. magic, hamo and recently Lambton have poached/recruited their success. Not much to respect there

Pretty special at Magic at the moment, when the truth comes out about your coaches behaviour recently Magic will be in crisis mode. Karma is a bitch.

cant believe two days on from Griff and Jobe giving you lot yet another miracle you plonkers are on here arguing over which group of you are the biggest assholes.


congrats, you're all winners.

Ask Lambton, Weston, Magic and South Cardiff how respectful Edgeworth are, if memory serves me right Edgeworth have had altercations with each of these clubs in recent years, not to mention the respect shown to their lower grade teams in a recent herald article.

[Texas Ranger]

So what clubs are having trials and when for 18s and 20s?

[Stanley]

If you are having trials you have missed the mark and guaranteed not to play finals in 2018

[Devon Sangas]

What did you lot think of the team of the year? And where are the points for the player of the year award?

Well done to Lambton on the GF and Edgeworth on the Premiership!

As a football enthusiast I thought this season of NPL was played at a high standard. There was some decent football, exciting games and cracking goals most weekends.

Looking forward to next season!

I agree with you 100%. I didn't get to watch as many games as previous years. But the standard is improving.

The team of the year seemed reasonable. I have reservations over Josh Maguire though.

And Sessions, the jaffers leak goals when Jobe doesnt play. Their defence is the worst in the top 4. Plus when I watch Jaffers he seems to needlessly kick people unfairly in my opinion.

[Cabaye#4]

What team of the year are we talking about?

That is all I have found.

[Walker]

Now Craig Kerry is reporting that Jobe will stay at Jaffas

Hard to leave that winning feeling

But we're does this leave Edgy, with Jobe 2018 was looking very strong, now same old Pasquale errors that cost them this year.
Gardner is gone, Brody Taylor to Magic story keeps bubbling.

Will be interesting what Zane does

[Walker]

And this is just me thinking but surely Kiego will go, certainly not the player this year that I'm sure Zane was looking for
Also Sanders, surely he will be looking to better himself

Or I suppose more $$$ from Edgy and they can all stay

Who knows

Gee they have really made a statement there! What a joke

[seldom]

Cmon- everyone who's played the game have done some silly shit they probs regret. This hatred of different clubs is getting ridiculous. And by the way I'm pretty sure Edgy will be orrite no matter who they have, Zaney is a quality coach IMO.

It's not his job to care about other grades. He's paid to get results with 1st Grade, and has done that incredibly well.

Have to agree with you here! An absolutely stunning outcome.

A coach speaks harshly to a ref and gets stung with a 14 day suspension and the threat of his club losing competition points. Man handle and abuse old men who administer the competition and get a fine, but miss no games! Wow

Man Handle? That's the first I've heard of that. Ugly and should have been serious suspension if that's the case.

[De-Champ]

Never any physical altercations or threats made in any of the allegations. Verbal disagreement between a few people who were unfortunate to be at a football venue for reasons other than football. Determination of the independent arbitrator speaks volumes about the incidents' severity despite the ill-informed public's cries for Magic blood.

Magic doesn't condone the behaviour of those involved and their reprimands internally highlight's this. They acted swiftly and publicly. Well done to them for publicly condoning verbal abuse of officials. Which is more than what any other club has done, many clubs have been involved in incidents this season yet none have publicly condoned any of the behaviour of their members or supporters which were sanctioned for bringing the game into disrepute.

That being said, NNSWF are still looking for the NewFM supporter who threw the chair at the NNSWF delegations table. If you have any information could you please forward your statement to Crime-stoppers.

I am confused. You say Magic do not condone the behaviour...then go on to say in the next sentence they publicly condone verbal abuse...

I'm confused at the double standards northern operate under, a coach get 4 weeks for a little abuse at an official then hand out poultry fines to an offence that was in my opinion much much worse, I suppos I shouldn't expect to much more from northern

Whats the confusion, generally the punishment fits the crime. If a 4 week ban is imposed after all parties have represented themselves, then that's what it is, if a fine is imposed after all parties are heard then again, that's what it is, case closed. Can we now start discussing football, just heard Lambton will be announcing a big name signing in the next couple of days.

Hi Forever, I forgot to ask, did you witness what happened when the coach got 4 weeks and then what happened in the Magic clubhouse or is your opinion based on what he said she said.

We keep getting told how good edgeworth are and how they match it with the best in the country so I ask this question, why are these moves seen as good opportunities when they are only moving from one npl comp to another and last time I looked these players had an A league team right under their noses ?

I have a totally different opinion. I thought he struggled when he returned. maybe 1 or 2 goals. I can't recall him setting up any goals either, but i could be wrong here. That's poor from your attacking midfielder and someone who is touted as one of the best. A title which i think he has not earn't with performances yet IMO.

Plus, i dont think Edgeworth won all that many games when he came back.

Also, i think there are a few more leaving Edgyworth if the rumors are true. One of the officials of the club alluded to the players not liking the coaching out there.

Get what you are saying but two thoughts
First, it is generally accepted that Melbourne NPL s highest quality in the country and second Jets don't seem to be interested in any local product coming out of the local NPL, it's like they want to see the player go to a higher league and test themselves

If we are comparing Magic to Azzuri 20s, unfortunately Magic were a different class, but they did have dowse and a few others I cant think of that are Under 20 and getting regular first grade at Magic, Azzurri were down a couple of players who also were regular first graders at azzurri, but they were actually playing for the indigenous team against them, with one scoring a couple of the goals and the other a rock at the back. Indigenous only had three players over 18, wit h Hearfield, Swadling, and others to come in

GA interesing comments on your star studded 20's, stating there isnt a comparison to Magic, im sure those comments will inspire them to great things or maybe all the 18's players retained are not up to 20's

I believe the Magic side, had no 1st grade players, except the fringe youngsters like Dowse, Wislon Ifield whom are 18,19, actually had some 15 year olds, and plenty of 18 year olds whom played a full game prior.
Score should have been 5 or 6 for Magic.

looks like maybe Magic just to good, but very early days and really can't read to much into it
I assume the rock at the back you refer to was Tressider? Have heard some good things about him, he has had some first grade exposure. Maybe he strengthens Azzurri but he would be in Tacnhovski sights surly, not 20's

You would hope so, there will need to be young legs around them, with Cook and Pippen in the mix as well, the other 19yo has scored five goals in four games for the indigenous team and has already played twenty first grade games for Azzurri including scoring against Edgeworth in his only First Grade start last year, without being bias haha.

BTW ....Go Away is no longer President of CCB as his work has gotten priority, still follow the boys but. Strong coaches and committee taking the club forward.

Agree thoroughly but it is great we getting a pile of ex national league level players in the comp

Griff
Ry Griff
Jobe
McBreen
Disco Stu
Ljubo
Bertos

Etc
Etc

Be good if we getting them a fraction younger with stronger legs etc but it still a positive in some ways

[MFKS]

Happy with Ljubo signing but what about paying this years wages first, not a good look, there's a few players not happy, show us the money

Disgrace if this the case FR

I sure hope they don't slug the juniors and their parents with a pay up earlier demand to get the cash to settle their debts

It just shows they need to drop the wages

If they can't pay them by November then they were paying too much to start with

[ForeverRed]

I can assure you all this is true, go to CCB Facebook site and the reaction of some of the players after the signing was announced tells a story

[GO AWAY]

FR ..... you have absolutely zero idea, either take the word of a disgruntled player or the word of a former president who does everything for ZERO dollars, every contract has stated.... all players to be payed October 31st.... which unless you know better, is tomorrow a s required the club b has sent an rmail to ALL players owed, provide up to date bank details as na bet will be deposited tomorrow, ( 31st October ) so please GO AWAY or comment on reality not fantasy land you clown!!!

Not sure what age group you are talking about, but the juniors was no where near the $800 up front payment you quoted

[Walker]

One thing for sure is no other club polarisers this forum quite like Azzurri,

I think it’s great to see a player like Ljubo coming to the local NPL and should be great for Azzurri as well, if they can cash in

Player payments are not due on contracts till 31st October so anyone complaining about not being paid yet is just stirring, disgruntled I would suggest, that said there is only two days to go but who pays a bill before they have to

But it would be very poor form and even worse business practice to be using 2018 money to pay 2017 bills, very short term

That's what I heard Apollo. Also believe most other clubs charge far less and don't require payment until February.

It's the same conversation every year with CCB around this time... deposits demanded to pay bonuses. Would not like to be a Youth player who made their 2019 squads, what is rego going to be then to pay for 2018? Maybe Ljubo can froth up some lattes at the Azzurri club to smooth the hit.

Well it looks like we can go back to the CCB rumours as Go Away has no truths for us. Maybe the rumours are true. Truely if you had the money in the bank why would you wait to a particular date many months after the season ended to pay the players especially when in doing so have given many a chance to spread apparent vicious rumours, you would jut pay them and be done with it.

Cant see Lubjo and a few of the other new stars waiting till October 31st for their money next season and at a guess the wage bill will be minimum 5 times as big as this years total.

Well I wonder if players are happy campers this morning with their payments safely deposited ��

I have no issue with waiting until date due to pay, standard business practice for me. But I do question why a 10 year player would go to social media to bag out a club that supported him for 10 years before the due date makes me question his motives
But then as a club once he carried on, just pay him, shut him up.

One thing for sure the Azzurri tragedy rolls on, wonder if new president has a plan to grow out of this robbing next year to pay last year.

My opinion hasn’t changed, any talk of not being paid prior to due date is stirring trouble, you promoted that, today, payment is overdue and If Azzurri haven’t paid they deserve any criticism they cop

I reckon the gap in quality between the new signings and what was running around in 20's is reasonably large. Didn't appear to be too many lads running around in that 20's team that one would think... 'gee he is ready for first grade'.

I can only count 6 new names though...... Swans x 2, Duncan, Read, Thomas, Thompson. Who have I missed?

Goody and smith etc played early for Azzuri. The Youth points only count for when they are actually playing U15's from 2012, when it was premier colts. before then no clubs had youth and NNSWF aint have good records on U18's players before that. E.g. Azzuri were trying to get compensation points for Jay Richley, but the years they were claiming compensation, he was actually at Magic. Good book keeping.

100 % incorrect.

There was this thing called FYL before there federation decided to stuff with it and azzurri had teams in this so players like Goodchild, smith, Tull ect are all -5 straight away for playing juniors from early 2000s.

Still it’ll be interesting to see them fit all these players in but from what I’ve been told they will have 20 players at early 170s with enough to add 2-3 youth prospects in to the squad if they want to.

Maitland will be interesting if they have signed 7-8 players as suggested as all of these have come from npl teams?? with none being juniors?? so that’s 105-120 points with 60-75 points for 12-13 players still to fit in.

NNSWF 100% don't care about clubs making claims players were youth players before 2012, all here-say, FYL, GYL or XYZ... Even though we know some players played "juniors" for certain clubs not disputing that. that 8 x 15 is 120... they have to fit in another 12 players in the remaining 60 points... not even Sneddos creative accounting can solve that conundrum.

I know that players who were at least 25 by 2012 have junior point discounts at certain clubs. By your rules this doesn’t happen...

FYL always felt like a major rort to me at the time and my thoughts still today. Selected clubs where talent was funnelled to regardless of which division their first team played in. Much fairer today where your obligation as an NPL club is to have the youth teams as part of your licence. I understand that it creates a lot of extra work for clubs but really is a positive thing in my eyes especially for the clubs who feel they have a responsibility to develope players and take it seriously. And in light of all that a sensible decision buy Northern, one of few though. Still not clear what constitutes a youth player as part of pps but the bow is starting to get long if we have to start relying on competitions and youth points from at least ten years ago. PPS no credibility after the Jaffas for last couple years, not blaming jaffas.

They all can't be earning $600+ because that would mean the 10 players would cost 108k for the year at a minimum. Without including the 11th field player and subs. Plus, if anyone earns more than $600 a game the budget would rise again.

Unusual for so many players to leave a team when they have been so successful. Because other than McBreen no is if of age to retire. And the paper said he is going around again. It's generally hard to break up a team that is winning.

[Bremsstrahlung]

It’s a domino effect though.
They all stay if everyone is being loyal. Being successful also makes you a target for other clubs who are willing to put up a bit more cash. When one or two leave, plus uncertainty re coach, it kind of makes everyone question their position and if they should cash in on success and leave like everyone else.

But my understanding is most of the players that have left, chose to leave before the coach decided to throw the club into limbo. Which leads me to think there is something up in there with the club.

Only takes one to look for greener pastures and everybody else starts to look out the window.

Maybe. Took those players a long time to decide to chase money. Money mean less as players age IMO. I still think something is up with the coaching staff and the players. Because Edgy surely have the cash with FFA cups they have been in against A-league teams, on top of that sponsorship etc. They'd have to be close to being able to offer what other clubs are offering or more than most i would think.

Kieran Saunders to Jaffas... can anyone confirm...

Maybe they just wanted a change. They are not the only club to lose 5/6 players. Olympic have lost what 9 players, adamstown a similar number, azzurri has acquired a whole knew team, so must lose players, etc

Anyone want to have a shot at tips for next year. Here's mine
Lambton
Broadmeadow
Edgeworth
Charlestown
Maitland
Valentine
Hamilton
Lakes
Jets
Weston
Adamstown
Lambton will be too strong. Magic and Edgy will be strong enough to stay in semi. Charlestown have a whole new starting 11 but either them or Maitland will replace Hamilton in the semis.
Valo will struggle without their yankee striker and the bottom 4 sides won't be strong enough to put up any challenge for a semi spot

Why do you think its a bad idea? Maybe the majority of players enjoy it? Who doesn't enjoy a hobby?

Even Edgeworth would be lucky to play 35 games (including trials) a year when they won everything and made well into the FFA cup, and the post season comp. In Europe guys are playing 45+ a year competitevely. Albeit, i dont mean to compare. But from the standpoint of enjoyment, if you enjoy it, why not play?

I haven't heard too many complaining about getting game time. If they aint gettin paid they must just love the game. No one holding gun to their head.

Training 3 nights a week and a game. Great hobby. If you don't show up, you don't play, I'm sure there is plenty that are keen for a break.

So who are training 3 nights a week and playing games on top of that? Sounds pretty soft if they do complain about a bit of training and playing in excess of 25 games a year.
It's NPL, not hobby night at the retirement village!

Draw most likely days from release as it's being slowly spread around now. Got to say I've never seen an opening day like that. Three grudge games including GF rematch.

Very interesting to see Mid North Coast get an 18's team too. Guessing it's the first phase of potentially having a team up there. More football for the 18's but will be a challenge to schedule wash-outs if and when it does rain during the season.

I am pretty confident in saying he will not be playing for the Jaffas next season, with all that Edgy do for him whilst he is in the Newcastle area he won’t play for another club if he stays. But good chance he won’t be staying.
