I thought this was the player movement thread

I helped a player move his furniture on Saturday, does that count?

Dylan Murphy from California too weston! Go weston!

Good to see you he points system doing its job, not

Hakan Canli - jaffas
Chris Berlin - Magic
Dan Johnson - Southy
Matt Darr - Southy

All to the buds

Its gunna be a good year for adamstown next year,
With these quality players and the squad from this year the green and red might just shake up the comp..

Wouldn't call them quality players. Chris, at 33? has probably seen his best days and i don't see him making much of an impact. Hakan hasn hardly started a game in the last 3 seasons at magic and jaffas and his low workrate won't see him get many starts under Law. Johnson is solid without being quality. Darr imo is the best out of the 4

Leave me out of this triviality I'm not interested in dealing with intellectual pygmies at this point in time.

When I last saw him he hadn't made up his mind because he wasn't sure when he was going overseas. I reckon he'll either go to Olympic or play on the Central Coast with his brother at Terrigal. They don't pay but will look after his rego & ref's fees.I've got no idea.

Might as well wrap this thread up, weston have the best pick up of the off-season.

What is the significance of Magic being mentioned in these posts about WM, who for the record is a descent and committed local football volunteer.

well hopefully your proven wrong. they have a good track record and i would rather them in my team then not..

Word is that Lakes are using a write your own cheque approach with players in order to get promoted. Some clubs never learn from their previous mistakes.

Who is there to buy and where would they play With 5 walker brothers and a keeper and I assume Sean Matthews there's only room for a select few at best.

If zico is bagging lakes they must have tried to sign a magic player and offered them more than magic did

No not all but hearing the silly figures being thrown around makes you shake your head.

How much is a silly figure in NewFM, $400 per game or more.

for per game that would be high for the NLP. That's insane for NEW FM IMO

I don't know what silly means just asking. You will find that the better players in NewFM are getting paid the same or more likely higher than NPL players I have no idea who gets paid what just trying to find out what sort of money is getting thrown around it might be $250 a win, would be interesting. Lakes do have a record for paying massive money $400 or more would not surprise.

There were definitely players getting around $400 a game this year in NewFM.

coming from someone who represents a club that did it when they were in newfm and still throwing around ridiculous money in npl. :thumbsup:

^^^^
Shame more clubs in this region don't follow Edgey's example and put more faith in youth instead of throwing money at players who generally are on the back end of their careers. How are we going to develop young players in this region if we hold them back in 22's for 2,3 even 4 years (yes this is happening) instead of playing them in First Grade to make them better players for the future???

I dont think the NPL is an old comp by any means. Olympic are relatively youngish, edgy are young, jaffers are on the older side possibly, magic middles aged with a couple of older heads etc. I think the comp is at a good age, mostly around the middle aged.

At the end of the day the newcastle NPL is not a feeder ground for 18-22 years to crack it to the next level. If they are going to make it to the next they will almost be in the jets youth system or better. If a young player is 19 and not at a jet youth or better, than unfortunately they better start thinking of life after football. I'm talking strictly probability, sure there might be the odd player that slips through the cracks, but it won't happen often.

There is heaps of 16-20 yo in the comp that have slipped through the jets system, NPL and Newfm.

I dont disagree. the selection of talent is opinion.

What i am getting it is, the players that slip through cracks rarely end up playing at the next level.

Missed the whole point mate, seems to be a trend of clubs throwing money at proven, experienced players at this level rather than taking a punt with a young player. What sort of a competition are we going to have in say 5 years time if our best 18,19 year olds are not blooded into 1st grade and are just left to stagnate in 22's year after year?

Not talking about what Edgy done in the past, talking about their success under Zane this season using youth. Likes of Bice and Pasquale have virtually come from playing 19's only last year and now getting regular game time in 1st grade at Edgy. Other clubs get players who have come through the Emerging Jets program but I know of a few who a couple years later are still playing 22's. People can say what they like but there are some NPL clubs which are just plain "lazy" when it comes to developing players and getting the best out of them so they can become 1st grade players....easier to just go and throw some money at a experienced "name" player at another club!

Thoughts on NewFM clubs chucking "decent" money at these 18, 19, 20 year olds stuck in NPL 22s to come play First Grade in NewFM?

What have you heard?
Just last weekend a Dad whose son played mainly 19's, fringe 22's with a NPL club said a NEWFM club had offered his son $50 a game to come play with them.

Good for a second income at there age to help with uni etc

Edgeworth never gave a shite about development until the NPL, they then employed Jim foley so all his followers would come to edgy, now claiming to be a club that develops is laughable I'm afraid,
