Can anybody tell me where the jaffas train?
also add lakes and southy to that question
Haters gonna hate.
I don't think 1 person can definitively state whether somebody has "friends" at a club. Will have to wait til the Birthday party invites comes out.
This thread has demised into a shambles. I understand the forum dislikes those with biased opinions, and some comments from FR are unjustified, but half of you just take anything that he says and run a mile with it. Not saying that it's right to make certain details public (e.g. monetary values, etc), but i daresay FR would have more experience with the runnings of a club and have more inside knowledge than the majority of people here, put together.
Can we please get back to talking football and absurd signing rumours opposed to this dick-waving fiasco?
if the bollocks doesnt stop in this thread (and others) I am just going to start banning people
you have been warned
Back to the footy
ForeverRed,
Whats the story behind your 23s this year? You guys have been so strong in past years in 23s.
lost 3 players to other clubs looking for first grade opportunities,young and impatient, keeper playing first grade,one gone to american college football, 2 out for season with injury, there are 3 players that have not played a game all season due to long term injury, 2 of those will play today, that said the coach was not prepared to promote some of last years 19s stating they are not quite ready, fair enough, plus some new players signed probably not quite up to state league but improving, one of those things where you have a successful year with young players but you cant hang on to them all.
So Forever Red other than the GK how many of last years U23's from Southy have been promoted to First Grade this year??
List how many are in the First Grade first starting XI and how many have been moved up to the squad as BackUp/Rotation.
Also Include in your opinion these injured/missing players who would have been defo promotions if fate hadn't of been so cruel to them???
I would say there's 4-6 fringe first graders that played 23s last year.
Pratt, Bohr, Robb, Stevens, Parker and Friend. These guys have either been playing first grade last year occasionally or on the bench/playing this year.
.
They also have Jordan white who was originally meant to play 19s this year, playing first grade.
As far as I'm aware, one left to play for central coast, one for lakes, one for Jaffas, one relocated for work and one or two just stopped playing.
Well that a pretty fair group through to First Grade.
Problem is when some from one successful team get promoted and others are held back some start to think they are being snubbed and look for fresh opportunity. Playing U23's and trying to dominate that again like they have just done with little prospect of first grade promotion wouldn't be appealing to most when other opprtunities are out there to play First Grade or get to First Grade
Still 3
