Did any club maintain its coaches from last season?

There seem to have been quite a few Herald Ads, postings and comments made around football places these last months about ZPL and ZL1 that it seems nearly all clubs lost a least one of there coaches at the end of the season.

Even at this relatively late stage we have Barnsley advertising for a club coach & Nelson Bay a 1st Grade coach. In the post season we had New Lambton & Kotara advertsing. At the end of the season proper Merewether's coach said he was standing down from coaching next season. Plattsty have announced a new 1st Grade coach, Charlestown Blues (In League 2), Cooks Hill opened up all three coaching roles for applicants, Wallsend advertised their lower grades, Swansea noted they have new coaching staff for 2013 and that doesn't include the ones I have missed.

Does it seem a high turnover this off season, especially when some of those clubs/teams had successful seasons under their 2012 coaches?

Has anyone managed to retain their full 2012 coaching staff?

One or two players dont make a good squd. Barnsley have been so strong for the last 2 years due to there depth across the board. Only 1 or 2 players that come in this year with the coach was regular starters in first. Dont get me wrong, quality players that made the squd stronger and brilliant to play with. But the depth in reserve grade is what help us compete in ID1 this year

Tenambit even after our season last year have kept our coach and added a former player to our staff who can no longer play. And after some major player movement this type of stability was much needed.

Now that most clubs have started there pre-season how is everyone looking?
I'll start it off with my predictions shall I

I don't know much about the new clubs other than what I read on here last year so ill leave them out of mine

1st Suburb- strong last year and we're confident of another good year
2nd Wallsend- talented bunch of players last year many of them playing together for the first time should do better next year
3rd Kotara- strong finish to the season and if they don't get banked up with wash-outs will be right in the mix for the premiership
4th Suns- new coach but always a tough opponent
5th Bay- look like they lacked a little depth last year but they had a young squad and should improve
6th kahiba- had some good individuals that made sure they were never easy beat should be strong might surprise a few
7th Bero- pretty ordinary last year but they always showed a never give up attitude

As Barnsley showed last year with a few good additions there's not much difference between divisions so the new clubs might impress.

Good luck to everyone and all the best for a new season I'm pumped see use around

25-01-2013, 03:53 PM
I think your predictions are pretty good premy. like you i dont know much about the new teams either and i havent heard any rumours about teams recruiting. I will make my prediction:

1) Suburbs
2) Suns
3) Kotara
4) Wallsend
5) Kahibah
6) Terrace
7) Bero
8) Belmont
9) Nelson Bay
10) Morrisett

Im pretty keen for the season to start up. Should be a pretty even comp again this year with anyone able to beat anyone on the day. Maybe we also might get an exciting finish to the season like last year!

I think wallsend could be a dark horse this year.

Training will remain @ Heaton Park. We've made application to move to Jesmond Park for matches. All existing players welcome, as is any player looking for a new club. Really good bunch of blokes who get along fantastically. We have all age teams as a possibility for anyone who doesn't make the squad. Coach Mick Coates on 0412 449 333 for any questions.

going off last years results most of those are pretty accurate predictions...curious as to why you think morrisett will finish bottom after being relegated from ZPL? have they lost a lot of their squad? also i'm thinking it will be a big test for the two clubs promoted from ZL2 with the move to three grades from two. can't wait for the season to start, much less looking forward to the remainder of pre-season!

I have to agree with you on the paying players situation. From my experience of playing ID1's and ZL1 teams that pay players in lower competitions seem to all follow the same pattern of:
- pay players
- have one or 2 good seasons
- coach and/or players leave to the next team paying players more $
- team has soul ripped out of it and struggles to fill void.

Premy
29-01-2013, 05:20 PM
From what I read on here last year about Terrace if you neutralize there long ball threat and starve the strikers (who most people said are quality players) there not that much of a side and might struggle against better defenders in this league I have not seen them play but it's just what I've read.
Belmont should have some quality young players because of there link with Phoenix but will probaly have trouble with the physicality of playing agianst men just like Tanambit did
Moriset have tried to get all the old team back together not sure of there progress on that but if they do they will be a good side the few from that team that are now at Suburbs I'am fairly confident will be staying at Suburbs as they are now part of the furniture and loved by everyone.
As I said earlier but I don't know much about these 3 clubs so I won't speculate as to where they will finish on the table.

How soon are clubs starting there trail games?

Being a player from tenambit first grade last season i wouldnt say we struggled with the physicality with playing against men. We held our own in the majority of games As players from opposing teams would attest to. Our major problem without going into to much detail was disharmany within the group. And having no luck as im sure every team had at some stage (we just seemed to have no luck all year lol). not that im using that as an excuse for holding up the foot of the ladder. And im sure u didnt mean it in a disrespectful way just.

Rumor has it Pom was giving them ten minute massages for every goal scored and one with a special finish if they score more than 40 goals in a season ;)

But on a serious note if a club sets a budget and can afford to pay a few rego's and players than why not?
There wouldn't be many clubs out there that don't to attract and retain players whether it be to reward loyal players or to help with the level of football played.To see the interest shown by junior players last season to watch these guys in first grade - priceless .....

i think it's great if clubs can afford to pay, that they do. definately should entice a few people to come over, and hence strengthen the club overall. if it's not a long-term liability, i'm all for it.

i was just posting in here what i've been told as an fyi to people.

personally i didn't rate the large majority of the terrace squad last year, but i'm hoping that they do a barnsley and walk through the id1 comp just to highlight that apart from the top 2/3 teams in newfm, there's not a huge quality gap between the lower half of newfm, zpl, zl1 & zl2 comps (and judging by games played & watched, i'm yet to see a difference in the standard of each comp tbh)

Thats an interesting call, I certainly can see the odd player in most clubs who could move up (and in some cases down) the divisions but not many whole squads. Especially not ZL1 to New FM, and its mainly a technical and tactical level that I see the biggest difference.

Difficult to tell with a one off game. Even if you had beaten Cessnock in regular time, would that mean that the standard is just as good between the divisions. You will sometimes get a lower division team beating a higher division team. The main problem for the lower division team is that it may not be able to maintain the "winning streak" had it been playing in a better/higher comp.

not totally sure tbh. there may be a way to do it but i haven't looked for it before.

pretty sure the clubs get an excel spreadsheet sent around though

Does anyone know if rego fees in excess of $400 sounds a bit high?

Does anyone know if rego fees in excess of $400 sounds a bit high?

From memory the FFA,Fed & Assoc fees added up to a little over $180 hen allow for club expenses such as referees, ground markings, training gers etc.

Depends what you feel your getting for the extra $220 if you feel its reasonale or not.

What seems to be happening is the old gap between higher levels and lower levels is closing ($400 is West Wallsend in New FM for example) as the lower clubs want to offer similar extras cush as training shirts, clubs shirts/bags etc.

If your playing Zone or above the $400 seems to be at the higher but not uncommon end of the scale.

Not at all - it seems high as an upfront cost but is alot easier than having to ask players for money each week to cover ref fee's as an example.
If the cost covers ref fees, shorts, socks, lighting fees, ground hire fees, trianing equipment than is more than fair. Most clubs are only covering the cost of all this to make it easier for themselves and the players.

id come close to not playing if i was charged $400.
we pay $300 at Barnsley, thats 2 pairs of shorts, socks, club shirt, club jacket, match fees, tickets into functions. we dont need to pay for anything else as players, only booze
and thats only $20 extra to what we paid last year

Hi all,
Wallsend FC are looking for a team to play our ZL1 third grade team this weekend on Sunday the 17th at ‘The Gardens’ with kick off at 11:30.
Sorry for the late notice, we were set to play Medowie but after recent events they are unable to make the game so we are hoping to find a replacement team.
If you are interested please pm me so we can get it sorted.
Thanks

Really? I'd heard the opposite, that they had picked up a few players that had filtered down from Magic?
Have also heard other rumours about Wallsend luring some decent players with cheddar, and Raymo having an extremely quick forward line..

I wouldn't be so sure that Nelson bay and Bero will finish that low. Have heard the bay have picked up 5/6 guys who will play first and without losing to many players can only make them stronger. And after speaking to a mate of mine at Bero they appear to be stronger then last year also. So maybe a dark horse for higher honors. ( well not so dark now after me telling u all lol)

The first question is if they were decent Lakes players why would they drop 3 divisions to play under a relatively inexperienced coaching group compared to what they would have had at Lakes???

And I am sure the older of those among us remember the success Croatia had using a similar game plan.

I know 5 of the guys personally who are going from lakes to wallsend, they are all quality players and will definatly strengthen the side.

demon
22-02-2013, 05:02 PM
I'm not saying incoming players won't or can't make a difference but I don't see players coming down grades making the 'impact' people expect.

In dropping down so does the training, the tactics, the discipline, the level of team mates etc... guys move down because they want to have to spend less time training, less time in pre-season, be with their mates... to take it a little more casually. yes everyone is still competitive, I just think the way some clubs tag guys as being from "NBN" or "New FM" is more about making a club sound impressive. And that goes for all divisions.

I watched a fair bit of Wallsend the last few years because a mate plays there, last year in mid season the got Tom (forgotten his last name) who was ex Lakes and Zac Douglas from Edgie (ex jets Youth).

Now the guys who played against Tom I am sure noticed he had a quality about his game, as could Zac. But I would possibly have still only just put Tom in a team of the year for ZL1 and probably not Zac at all. Maybe they guys who played against them could judge better but tagging them as Ex NBN really meant nothing.

Yes training was a bit slow to start with but has picked up with a lot of new players coming in
We have lost a few due to a number of different reasons but have also picked up some good new players and should still be competitve.
Looking forward to the start of the season

Going from 2 teams to 3 and having no junior sides to grab players from was never going to be easy.

Correct me if im wrong but didnt belmont go up because they wrote a letter to the districts saying that since they have joined with phoenix they have a strong junior base to draw from

perhaps coming second in the league was viewed by the federation as more likely to be competitive over the course of the season rather than come good in the finals. not saying the grand final win isn't important however, the australian sport setup is far different from the world football setup in the fact they actually have play-offs...it would be a never ending argument to decide which one is more important to be in-line with.

Im only asking because I have heard from a few sources that are on club committees that they wrote a letter to districts saying they have a strong junior base etc and found it odd that they now are asking for new players and only getting 15 to training.

if based on on feild results
belmont-finished tied first with terrace
westlakes-1 point behind in third, gf winners, best defence, second best goal difference 1 behind terrace, played belmont 4 times including finals for 3 wins and a draw.

im only new myself and getting back into soccer after years and years of. I think 4 or 5 phonix juniors have showed up. I also think maybe 25 faces have shown up at one stage between every training and trial .

Cant comment on last season wasn;t there for that. They also had a young A grade valentine team set up to take over 3rd grade but the parents ended up against it and didnt let it happen . Im unsure maybe all the kids that dont make the cut in the phonex nbn teams will be on there way over shortly?

10 players at training tonight. any other teams have vacances for a switch this late?

Maybe but that result in the reserve grade game may suggest they are lacking a little depth

swansea 4 - 0 tingera.

Only getting around 15 to training for 3 teams at the moment for tingera. A bit worrying.

Going from 2 teams to 3 and having no junior sides to grab players from was never going to be easy.

Im not the manager but anybody that has left it a bit late and wants a team its a great club with a good bunch of blokes so let me know if your interested and im sure you'd be welcome.





late influx of players went from 10 at training 2 weeks out. to 25 last night and 35 aparently signed. so there all good. i jumped ship after i saw that 10 at training 2 weeks out unfortunately.

but sounds things are looking up for them and best of luck for the season!

theres only one grade between them . zl3 teams beat zl2 and its no big deal. zl1 beats 'premier league' and people are like what happened. i dont know why. from what ive been told suburbs and suns would not be out of place at all in zpl one bit. only problem was last season only 1 could be promoted which was barnsley. When all 3 of them could easily be there.

I'm used to watching the state league, where you would expect the semi final hopefuls to trounce all but one team in the league below. Duely noted.

I think you'll find that Cardiff are no longer the side they used to be. It's the second time Suburb have got a win over ZPL teams this pre-season as we beat Mayfield and we have been narrowly beaten by Swansea and Warnersbay. These are pre-season friendly games after all and I don't think to much should be read into them. A lot of work needs to be done if we want to take our place in ZPL just because we have won 2 friendly games we are under no illusion that we belong there win ZL1 first that's our goal and we know its not going to be a easy task.

A task made all-the-easier with the Websters, Clerks and Darrs. I personally like your chances - though I do not wish to jinx you at all. I can't wait to see how it all pans out!

From my (lack of) knowledge, Mayfield arent much chop - close results against swansea and warners bay prove the quality of the side though.

Obviously you have some knowledge of what's going on at our club yes we have added some quality players a few you have not mentioned either to a already strong team and yes I would say we are quietly confident but we all know we can not get to far ahead of ourselves the season proper has not even started yet let's see how we are traveling after a couple of rounds.

Haha nah this time we had three official refs. But honestly the guy who did the game on Sunday was much better then the ones we had then.
But I must admit as a defender and goalkeeper I do forget about all goals conceded rather quickly but I swear this game I didnt have to forget or choose not to count any. lol

From what I've seen of suburbs (the finals series last year + swansea, wbay and cardiff trials this year), they have an entirely new look midfield. I don't know that any of their CMs kept position over the break. I've recognised a few faces in ressies though, so credit to the club for keeping those guys on board.

Strange to see almost half the starting XI for first grade finals series squad kicking off in reserve grade against Cardiff.
I've read that maybe last year Barnsleys depth played a big part in overthrowing Suburbs in the end. Hopefully it's their turn?

from someone with no interest in the club. i think suburbs are flooding with players. When a decent player mate of mine asked preety late if they needed anymore players. My mate was told no they have huge numbers and flooded with players. But have left the door open for 'quality first graders only' . ( I guess if any had missed out on their nbn team selection or something)

That statement alone shows there all geared up to win. And i dont think to much will come in their way.

I think Nelson Bay,Raymond Terrace,Kotara,Wallsend and Suns might disagree with you there
Kotara always strong especially at home
Suns semi finalist last year and only beat by away goal rule
Wallsend strong finish to the year last year for a relatively new squad and have added some quality from all reports
Nelson Bay from talk on the foz they have improved from last year
Raymond Terrace ZL2 premiers and have added to their club (just look at Barsley last year)

We are under no illusion that we might have the favorite tag but to say we will walk it in is just plain disrespectful to the other teams in ZL1. That said good luck to all teams this year can't wait for Sunday big game to start the year against Suns and I'm sure they will want to exact some revenge from the semi final loss

Arguement will be the rugby claim themselves to be a local (Carrington based) side so will always get access to the ground when they ask for it. A good example of total Council lack of foresight that area.

If they had not put the road directly thru the middle if that area they could have had two ovals and still only need the cost of one set of sheds/canteen. But no, they place a road throught the middle and have one park and basically one wasted open space because of a lack of amenities.

Without the road they could have had two quality mixed use (winter/summer) ovals and still have had room for a decent training area for clubs to use off the fields.

Theres 2 empty fields across the road that arnt getting utilised but instead of building sheds there council advised they would like to refurbish the existing connelly park canteen with a budget of $100K! the canteen is fine you could probably do it up a bit for 5k

Very true some people have suggested on here that we're going to walk the competition in. I can assure you we do not feel that way last year we lost 3 games and finished 2nd if you had of told me that at the start of last year I would of said "yeah right" we're quite aware how hard it's going to be and we know teams are not going to just roll over it looks like its going to be a very competitive year.

No officials, but the guys that we had reffing and running the line did a great job, considering.

Sure hope not - Keep the goals flowing!

After watching a few games on the weekend, and reading the forum, it would seem that a couple of teams still have some additions to make to their squads. I realise that the teams that will do well this year will accomplish this through their depth and quality as a whole, but you cant rule out the fact that there are a few players a class above that will make the difference in alot of games. How are teams travelling with respect to having their full-strength lineup fielded in round 1?

Posts suggest that there are at least a couple of regular first graders due to come back to Suburbs, Suns, Kahibah. Any more?

Suburb are still waiting on 5 players that could all play 1st grade respectfully. Players out for different reasons weddings holidays ect.

heard from 2 teams losing there best or close to there 'best' player or 'players' to suburbs in the off season. And the common denomenator told was money.

Hmmmm.. Well this is definitely news to me..
If cheddar has been offered, its definitely been kept on the down-low (or just not to me, cause I'm not worth it, hahahaha)..
If anything its the opposite. I know players were offered money to go to other clubs, and they rejected it for whatever different reasons (loyalty, atmosphere, coaching, great bunch of blokes, social idiocy that the boys get up to, etc..)

News to me to big nob. Sounds like baseless rumors to me, could be sour grapes because said players didn't not re-sign with former clubs. I'm completely speculating here but knowing Ace trained with Belmont this is where it could of originated and knowing we picked up 1 player from Belmont I'm pretty sure said players reason for leaving was because Garden Suburb was a stone throw from his house and Belmont were struggling for players.

P.S your worth every penny you get Booooonnaaa

I know its early in the season but it looks like Morrisett and Belmont will be battling it out for the bottom place. If Belmont are struggling for numbers it could be a long season for them once a few injuries, holidays etc start to play there part. ive heard nothing about morrissett on here.

Bero and Wallsend appear to have improved since last season. We play bero this weekend and they are always tough to beat up there, especially first grade.

Raymond Terrace i think will surprise a few teams, especially the first time you play them. they have quite a few handy players and very quick blokes up front. They finished very well on the weekend but we bounced back to nearly claim a point. I thought it was a story of 2 halves, terrace dominated 1st half and deserved their 3-0 lead (im pretty sure they struck the post also). Second half we adjusted and got a few goals back to make it 3-2 and were unlucky not to get more with hitting the cross bar 3 times. Great free kick from terrace created the chance for the 4th and we scored another penalty to make it 4-3 and we just ran out of time!

its early days for all teams but i think it will be quite a competitive competition this year.

sorry premy deleted that. strate after i wrote it.

didnt think i should be posting second hand information like that to do with money. but u got to it quick so ill answer.

i just heard from a few seperate places concerning 3 players.. . who knows not my business . either way . zone league one looks very lop sided compared to premier league which looks like all teams have a shot .

i was more wondering how you got warnersbay players in a winning zpl side to leave and go to suburbs . someone from warnersbay said they heard that . anyway aend of this discussion

belmont have the numbers now full squad nearly . got a heap from phonex etc. got them all within the last 2 weeks before the comp now there overflowing and the team i moved to is struggling way more with 39 on the roster.

They said nelson bay improved a heap since winning zl2. And i think belmont will beat morriset and kahibah. After seeing kahibah play. But we shall see.

No hard feelings ace. The 2 lads your referring to from Warners Bay 1 of them actually played at Suburb 2 seasons ago and his 2 brothers are still with us the other is a good friend of a few of the boys and wanted a change. Nothing much to it other then that hope that answers your question

Belmont Vs Kahibah
Gardo Vs Mo-town
Bero Vs Kotara
Wallsend Vs Nelson Bay

Raymond Terrace
Kahibah
Garden Suburbs
Berro
Wallsend

Interesting, most could go either way. I would say only a suburbs win is a safe bet. I like any team with pace against the suns. Kahibah may have players returning, know nothing about either team. Berro to do well at home. Wallsend vs the dark horse? Wallsend will edge it out I suspect.

Suburbs have never payed players and I would be surprised to here that it was occurring now. In the past not even rego has been payed for players. I'd be betting that Chinese whispers have kicked in.

Such an awesome club though, I am not surprised people are queuing up to get in.

Don't need to pay players with a club culture like suburbs u turn up for one training session n they make u feel like part of the family in a second that is why players love playing there football there!!

Not sure how I'll feel about it on Sunday, haha..

Back on topic..
Gardo Vs Motown games are still on Sunday, but have been moved back an hour. So 3rds are at 10:30, Ressies at 12:15 and 1sts at 2pm.
Then boozing back at the razzle in time to see the Gypos choke again..

My round 2 tips(honest tips,I do not intend to offend any club):
Raymond 3-suns 2
Belmont 2-kahibah 2
Gardo 8-mo-town 1
Bero 5-kotara 2
Wallsend 4-the bay 1

I'd like to put $5 on Bon to score a header off a corner..
I'd also like to wish all clubs all the best for the weekend & the season,it would be nice to see a few upsets this round so if any club would like to make me eat my tipping words then that's be great

Suburbs v Suns only had a ref

yes and that was only because we rang around a few people asking if anyone was free

apparently 40 refs quit recently due to new gradings and regulations recently introduced (someting like that anyways), so i wouldnt be expecting any refs to our games anytime soon, which is a bit of a shame really

Dont know where you heard that-if they have they must be junior association referees.Seniors have about the same number as last year(around 90) with about half that number either assessor or senior non active membersThere are a few having a break after the A League season,some were in Canberra on a womens International friendly and some overseas on holiday.Also many of our members are only available on one day each weekend(they do have a life outside football)and Junior branch referees are usually only available for senior football on Sunday since they are required to referee juniors on Saturday which is fair enough.Senior branch is required to cover NBN.NEWFM and WPL with full coverage before appointing referees to other football.Last weekend most ID football was on Saturday which left no junior branch referees available.The days of referees doing both days is long gone,some are prepared to referee both days but most with families not.How many players are required to be available both days each weekend

Looking forward - is this expected to improve? Though some could argue that the Volunteers we are getting are actually of better quality.

I would hate to see this years comp. tarnished due to refereeing complaints and errors. The best way to manage the game is for the team captains to have an honest discussion with the referee to 'clarify the rules'. It may seem obvious, but an honest clarification of the handball rule (which part of the arm, accidental?), challenging from behind-shoulder to shoulder, studs, challenging in the air, challenging the keeper and even swearing can take a lot of the inconsistencies out of the game if the results are pre determined. I would trust any team in this comp. to play a fair game of football with the refereeing issues in mind (we do not believe that we are the future of all things great in Novacastrian football [looks at state league thread]).

So if this is the case captains, spend a couple of minutes with the ref before kickoff to set some standards.

The best way to find out about the LAWS would be for clubs to go out and buy the Laws of the Game book and have a good read.The reason you are happy with volunteer referees is that you dont heap as much shit on them and are prepared to put up with more errors from them.Let me know if you dont want association referees and they can be used elsewhere.Each situation differs and there is difficult to deal with hypotheticals.The ideal situation would for the ID association to request a meeting between coaches and referees(as is done in federation)as a group to go through things together.The ball is in your court.Lets see what happens.

Maybe some of the refs going around should do the same. Because some of the refs getting around in th lower leagues are either not up to standard or have passed their use by date.
My question is do they have a standard they have to meet or is it if they pay there money and can blow a whistle they can get a gig??
