Crowley would have been better off approaching Olympic they are short of strikers, would be guaranteed more game time. He will now compete with the Grithers boys, Browny and Remo or maybe they will sit out.Quote:

And with one of the Griffos added in for experience (bit like McBreen who doesn’t play all games), they’ll be better off.Quote:

2nd, why, wasn’t he getting first grade timecat Valo ?

Can you confirm Big V
Ok fair call. Then why leave just to play 20s surely his better chance of playing 1sts at Valo? Isn’t that what young footballers should aspire to do? Further why leave Edgy he was getting time in 1sts there and with the players that left he would be playing 1sts this year. The almighty $$$Quote:

Heard at work today he was signed as Casciaroli replacement and will be going into PPS but that wasn't from a Charlie fan it was from a guy who plays at Kahibah- who knows but I guess we will see next week when new PPS rosters come out
Big clubs just seem to be getting stronger in this window- don't know how its sustainable really
Hearing Jacob Bailey close to signing with magic
My comment was with tongue firmly placed in cheek:wink::wink:Quote:

Have Valo sounded out Casciaroli ?
Heard he was off to the Suns in ZPLQuote:

Therefore it would appear Maitland just want to get rid of Thompson.Quote:

Has Nick taken your place in the cup squad at Thornton Johnno ?
How about the fact he hasn’t played a minute of first grade and with his previous first grade experience at Weston, perhaps he just wasn’t happy with playing 20s??Quote:

He can also play FFA cup now
Only guessing but I heard (and it may be rubbish), he was signed for firsts but that just hasn’t happenedQuote:

Realistically it is happening across the whole league and coincides with the first transfer window opening on Monday.
Thompson isn't the only player moving because of game time in firsts.
Casiarolli leaving Charlestown because he is on the bench every week.
Bailey leaving Olympic because he is playing 20's.
Gardnerr leaving Valo
And i am sure there will be a few more by next Wednesday changing clubs

Not disputing your comments and agree with everything you have said. However the reason the player was told he couldn’t play in the FFA Cup and the catalyst for him leaving was that he had to be in PPS which is incorrect from what was posted earlier and therefore he was lied to by the Maitland Coach but hey wouldn’t be the first time that coach has not told the whole truth.Quote:

Maybe I have read the rules and until the Round of 32 a player does not have to be in PPS to play in the FFA Cup. Maybe I am close to the truth. Maybe you joined today because a raw nerve was hit. Maybe your a Maitland official.Quote:

Again Oldboy Maitland Official you are wrong. Straight from Northern website under Regulations. I think 8.2.4 is what your looking for. Player is eligible to play up until around 32.Quote:

8.2.1. Two (2) weeks prior to the commencement of the season clubs will be required to nominate a maximum of five (5) overage players who will be ineligible to play First Grade;
8.2.2. Clubs are permitted to transfer the nominated overage players into the PPS Roster in two (2) nominated “windows” and/or in response to long term injuries;
8.2.3. A maximum of two (2) of the five (5) nominated overage players can be included in the PPS at any one time;
8.2.4. The five (5) overage players nominated at the start of the season are ineligible to represent the club in the FFA Cup (from the round of 32) and the FFA NPL Final Series;
Would seem maybe you are the Maitland Official given you knowledge of their decision making processes and conversations with Nick....Quote:
