How can Adamstown and Olympic replay washed out games midweek, when the competition rules have that stupid 6 point game stipulation. Have northern softened? Do the rules allow it, or are they making it up on the run? Presumably then all teams will get to replay washouts. Here's hoping!
My understanding is that if the home club want to host the games, and the opposition agree to replay then it can happen. It did happen last year as well with some games changing days on the weekend or to a later catchup weekend. If it can't/does not want to be done then 6 point rule.
I think this is a good compromise.
I believe Buds and Olympic drew 2-2 in 15s tonight.
Are you kidding? For a game to be replayed both sides have to agree to it. Either the regs should say ALL games are 6 point games in the second round (which I don't agree with), or ALL games are replayed. Anything but either of these two scenarios will potentially create behaviour by some clubs who either get the right outcome by playing or not playing games. Surely all or none, prefer all be replayed.Quote:

Home team should be able to choose if they want to reschedule the game.
If the away team don't want to, they forfeit.
If the home team does not, the away team should have the option to propose a venue.
If the home team rejects the new venue, they forfeit.
If both sides don't want to play, 6 point game it is.

Why Blue, I see your CCB 15's are rapidly rising up the ladder. With Olympic leading and you guys having a game in hand could it be a repeat of last years GF?

But we have some time yet !!!
to be fair our defence is pretty solid..................
So, who is off to Emerging Dundee United training tonight ???
Wondering if you all listened to interview this am on radio with David Eland talking about how the Jets under the Tinkler regime have become disassociated with the local community
I wonder if David & NNSWF have ever considered the impact of the Emerging Jets on the support of the Jets
Sure it has probably cemented the relations with those associated with the program but I believe it has had a negitive effect on kids/parents that are not associated with it
Look at NPL Youth for example, every other team wants to beat the Jets ...... I think the Emerging Jets creates an us & them attitude and this cannot be healthy for community support
Also David's comments that the EJ program will be a valuable asset in any potential sale of the Jets ??? How ?? The Jets have had nothing to do with EJ program for 12 mths now
Program is funded by NNSWF, FFA and Parents
Maybe parents might get some $$$ back from the sale if their kids are so valuable ???
Any games played this weekend? If so do we have any results?

Not the EJ's training as per usual, nice full field, games..........well if they are away and get washed out, no probs we will just have an interclub back at speers point.
Got to be good for the kids.
And maybe better value !!!!!!
Not really. Just hadn't heard much and wanted to catch up on some gossip.Quote:

agreed...................bloody ridicules..........Quote:

Just noticed it would be their first points....

Time for me to eat a little humble pie (see my post about last time we played) Southy slightly on top against Adamstown three draws and a win over our (perviously) unbeaten 14s.....
Long way to go but we improve each week
Played this weekend with his club side. Definitely just training for a one off event.Quote:

David Eland and his cronies of overpaid middle management couldnt give a toss about NPL development from 13- 19Yrs.Quote:

Maybe Eland should focus on getting rid of dinosaurs like his Ops Manager first and then bring in a real ops team to oversee development thay Browne should oversee.
not sure if this is the right place for this or not.. but have heard magic juniors have west hams oceania academy coming to newcastle? anyone heard anything about it?? is it all just for money or what?
Saw it on Magic's Facebook page. Bit expensive at $150 bucks considering most players attending would have already forked out hundred's as it is to play in NPL Youth or whatever. Could be a good opportunity though to learn a few things from an EPL academy. Think I read only one coach was coming to Magic Park and I'm not sure how much one coach can do with that many kids in such a short time (hour and a half). Still a decent chance to learn a new thing or two but as I mentioned it is a tad expensive. Good on Magic though for opening it up to all juniors and not just their own.Quote:

Particularly interested in hearing from you Blue/Blew boys.
In the 15s the top 4 sides all won leaving Adamstown and the Jets with some work to make the finals. Weston continue to be the dark horse and CCB'S have strung some wins together after an early season lapse. Magic had another big win and must have a solid for/against record. Hamilton also continue to win but overall it's Magic slightly the more impressive. These top sides play each other over the next few weeks so the real contenders should stand up and be counted. Heard that some washout games rescheduled for next weekend with some teams playing on both Saturday and Sunday.
Thanks Bloo. I have also heard about catch up games so these results should make things a lot clearer and also at least allow the kids the chance to play football.
I'm thinking the top 4 in 15's pretty well done and probably in order, fair enough as well the 4 better performing teams
Agree that Weston are the dark horses, big strong and fast and can play football, but I have said all year that Magic would be hard to beat and haven't seen anything to change my mind. But as last year showed, get to the last 4 and then it's only 2 wins to a premiership
Yep CCB have double header this weekend, Buds on sat and Magic on Sunday
But with three drops of rain having fallen at Lisle Carr already, I would have serious doubts about playing

(I was amazed that he had any sense in these very matters)
Not you Why, - Y!
Thought I would put in English. Messages can lose something in loose translations.
Maitland play Jets Saturday (all except the 17's, Jets team have something else on) and Jaffas Sunday. All at Cooks Square. Given current weather forecast I expect these will all be cancelled again.
What is the situation with the EJs having something else on? Is it because it was originally a spare weekend?Quote:

Here's a thought , given that the EJ program is for development only, not points, the EJ 15's forfit this game, bonus is that maitland 17's would get their first win...........quite possibly the only win for the future if Miatland footballQuote:

Should not matter, EJ program is for development, points and where they finish on ladder is irrelevantQuote:

Have been reading this thread/forum for a little while now but this is my first post
My interest is in the NPL youth and like a few on here the 15's in particular
last weekends Manchester United cup that was held in Sydney and represented locally by Emerging Jets 15's and Olympic 15's
Emerging Jets performed in my opinion poorly they won one, against side that eventually came last ( 10th ) Drew one and lost two
That put them in a play off against Olympic for 7th & 8th which EJ's won 2-0, not good enough from the area's elite, in my opinion
Maybe it's time to get serious with a few selections, look deeper into the NPL were kids are developing
The current policy of keeping under performing players does not seem to be working very well as this side has constantly under performed at last two nationals and again on the weekend
Maybe they need to look at why they need to recall a player who left the program, only two weeks before or why they carry a player who has been injured for the last two seasons and has kept a development position from another prospect or a couple of forwards who after years in the program still can't hit the net
Maybe I'm harsh but the one constant is these kids keep going to these tournaments and keep hugging the bottom of the ladder, this year they injected a little new blood but again poor results, so again maybe the wrong kids, maybe stop relying on club coach input ( that can be biased ) and actually get out to few games and watch the kids play
