Big slap in face for Jez Murray as they bought in two keepers from out of the area, great use of junior rego fee's
QC EJ players have been trialling at clubs since "trials" began, most were as a back up, surely has stopped now they are all safe !!!!Quote:

Both quality players. Reece picked as a 12yo and trained/played in Sydney with northern pre e jets. Just reinforces the point that out of the 100+ players in the e jets, very, very few make it to the top level.Quote:

Be careful what you start David, FFA might very well question why EJ squads don't represent the 16 most talented in each age group
Less concern with losing three and more concern about getting the right sixteen
Was just reading that myself blue man
Yep agree a whole lot of carry on for three players out of hundreds selected
Biggest thing I got from it was that EJ's will be playing in Sydney NPL as soon as NNSWF can get them in
Now that will be a commitment both time and financial
I think the carry on is purposeful from Eland
Pushing NNSWF case to include EJ's in Sydney NPL
"Look now it's costing us players"
Forget about the three lost David, be more concerned with the large numbers of kids that don't even bother with EJ's and develop, quite nicely, thru the club system
Think they made the U18 E-Jets, but after seeing some kids picked for the Youth team who probably shouldnt be and these kids only got in as a train on, it was time to get out.Quote:

Both good players, but no better then alot of other 17yo playing NPL for the last three years and costing the players/parents less money.
Top level in this country is clearly A-League. My point - I am tired of hearing how good E Jets kids are from their parents, thinking they are going to make it big because they have been identified early and consider themselves "elite"!Quote:

Totally agree, there are plenty of 17yo playing NPL who are as good playing for a club.Quote:

Agee, my son has always ( well since he has grown up a little ) set NPL as his goal, recently had the opportunity to train with a first grade squad and wow, opened his eyes, of course the quality, pace & intensity was much higher than anything he had ever encounted, including EJ. Gave him great opportunity to see were his game needs to be developed and has increased his desire to make that squad
Had to laugh at Eland having a cry because some of the players left for someone else, welcome to football. I doubt the Emerging Jets have never poached or signed on players from other clubs and Aleague academies.Quote:

Quick check of EJ squads on NNSWF own website shows 5 kids from Central Coast added to EJ squads for 2016 on top of already existing numbers from CC
Typical Eland & NNSWF being political ......trying to push thier barrow for EJ inclusion into Sydney NPL
Face facts Sydney NPL don't see a need to include EJ's as they don't see how thier inclusion will enhance the comp, based on EJ performance at organised competitions
So back to the same.......get the right kids......get the right coaches and perhaps the teams will perform better and justify inclusion as they will enhance the comp
Simple !!!!!!
I remember years ago, about 5, Macquarie U12 won the state championship in Coffs Harbour beating Newcastle in the pointscore, come selections for NNSW ( at the time ) to play in Sydney every Wednesday night, i think there was 4 macquarie kids got in and 12 newcastle kids........ point is, its who you know at rep football unfortunately and it shouldnt be.Quote:

Did anyone watch the NPL 17 Grandfinal?Quote:

Certainly the EJ's u15s did well in the end and showed the value of quality and a hugely greater volume of coaching/training. And with the EJ players among the better, as well as often bigger and older taken from the clubs to join their program they should have an advantage and rightly should play up a year.Quote:

I believe only 1 player was an under 14 player (1 day off being u15) and perhaps the other 2 hadn't had their birthday prior to GF. But of course many if not the majority of u17 players in most NPL clubs are only in the u16 age group and still eligible for u17 next year. You would therefore assume that on average there would probably be more than 3 players in u17 teams that were still only 15 come date of GF. 12 to 18 months might be average age differential at this particular age group.
As for other EJ age groups, some are better than others but this tends to relate very much to selections and coaching. The selection process is always debatable but getting quality coaching, at the EJ's or clubs, is like trying to win the lottery. Anyone can have a certificate, but to be able to relate to the kids, analyse and develop skills and positional play, recognise weaknesses (and correct) and structure game tactics, is a rarity. Getting a coach/manager who is only there because of a connection to certain team members, or one who allows "positioning" of some parents is not so rare.
Not to mention when a talented player is not reselected when their parents or the player has had a falling out with someone on the committee.Quote:

Our own experience is quite different to what you have described, but yes in general there is a gap in intensity but don't confuse intensity with ability, for intensity you need all the squad to be committed and that is the difference you probably don't get that at all clubs so the kid had to be disciplined
My sons ability nor his intensity has dropped nor has he become dillisional, but then again he didn't go to magic !!!!
Sorry Barry didn't watch too much, celebrating CCB 15's gf win !!!!!!Quote:

Also yes this years EJ 15's defiantly improved under CZ no doubt but again don't confuse improvement with thier ability or them being the best
My bet is that every kid would improve under CZ
And yep only 1x 14yo but same kid us training now with Jets Youth and is pretty handy
Also look at Magic 17's .... Most gone now...... Team was done by years end
you guys making me giggle , I hope you have future socceroos . but reality is your stars discover girls and beer before they get signed to stardom
