Ok agree, so maybe purplepatch could explain the rehydration process
Plenty of info available for rehydration most recommended 50% more input than lost ie weigh before and after and if you lost 3kg than you need to replenish 4.5lt of liquid over a 24 hr period
This instance there was only 3 hrs between finish of game one and start of game two, simple maths not enough time
But biggest question I have is WHY
Trial games, why did they need to play two games with in this time period
Can't see why it would be needed
So halftime break of 10 minutes isn't enough to rehydrate either. Call all games off. Give it a break. Probably Maitland had over committed but kids have been running around in summer for hours non stop for years. Clearly they had extra drinks breaks and rotated players. If cramping starts you rest the player. They are only trials and not a grand final so finding skill level would be the aim rather than who could run themselves into the ground.Quote:

You make no sense, read about dehydration one of the first things effected is skill level and ability to think clearly, so if this was point of trial than game wastedQuote:

Cheese man else were you mention that kids are flocking to afl and as we know there are many sports and activities that are lining up to take $ from parents
That's why football clubs need to be as professional as possible to keep and attract kids to the sport
And I suppose your right no one died
So let's keep our head in the sand hey
Weather aside...........
How are teams shaping up
Few trials now so teams should be starting to take shape
Anyone prepared to predict ???
13s MNCQuote:

17's Weston developed well last year, hope they keep it up CCB list a couple of key players from last years 15's will depend on quality of replacements
I did mention that the afl are looking to expand Aussie Rules in the area but the reasons why they will go isn't because of this though.Quote:

It's all about image
I want to know if any of the Maitland parents have complained or is it just the seasoned medical professionals that frequent this forum complaining?Quote:

Interested more so how the players felt?
I'm genuinely curious, how many played 2 games?
And more importantly did they enjoy themself?
It's easy for us to think they'd hate it, but they may have enjoyed it and had no issue.
Same as we hate the jets being rubbish most games, but they don't seem to mind.
This was not a tournament that these boys played in. They were pre season trial games held close to each other on a hot summers day and 6 weeks before the season started.Quote:

You seem to know Piggo well at your time at Southy mate, but I'd be surprised if he knew about the scheduling of these games.
Anyway hopefully lessons will be learnt. Best of luck to all NPL boys this year.
I understand on paper it doesn't look good. I'm more interested to know if it was the one team that played two games or a hybrid mix of 17s and say 15s or eligible 19s.
Just playing devils advocate that all may not be as it seems.
Well it is actually because if they limited the minutes for players that played both games then that means they were thinking about the children and everyone's argument is now invalid.Quote:

Yep agree back to football
Looks like Olympic will be strong again in 17's
Any other trials ??
Emerging Jets 15s got thumped 6-1 by Canberra but 14s won in close game. Not sure of other scores.Quote:

10-0 ......I think
Wallsend were not up to task but CCB boys made the most space and lack of pace
I pretty impressive performance
Maybe some might push for 19's as they played after and were even when I left, but Wallsend looked the better team, especially in the midfield.
Sounds to me that you like the way they are coming together blue manQuote:

As for 19's it's a big jump, especially for 15-16 yo kids
19's finished 3-1 to Charlestown. One of the Wallsend guys filled me in. Apparently two of their players were taken to hospital with injuries which is always sad to see. Charlestown must have some quality in the 19'sQuote:

CCB have some very talented kids in thier 17's squad and I believe 4-5 of them could cut it in 19's if given the chance
But I suppose that won't happen when kids have dads who coach and dads who manage........disappointing
Hope kids taken to hospital are ok ???Quote:

Rib cartilage damage in one & broken fibia in 2 places in the other.
From the reports that I received it was the same CCB guy involved in both incidents, if so he must be feeling pretty terrible & I'm sure he's contacted our coach and/or the injured fellas already.
Looking forward to the 23's trial on Thursday & the FFA Cup on Saturday,should be a good test for our guys.
One had a rib injury and the other looked like acl unfortunately. I see no wrong with 17's playing up in 19's. Happens all the time in New-FM (granted the NPL is a much tougher competition). If they're good enough at 16/17, then they should be playing 19's, at least off the bench.Quote:

Some real talent as well, most of them won't be bench warmers either
Adamstown have a couple 15 year olds in the 19's alsoQuote:

Haha, that's not something I would rely on. Depends on the player obviously but some kids don't care if they injure players and are happy to do it.Quote:

Not in any particular order I think the teams to watch will be -

U15s - EJ, Jaffas, Weston and Olympic
U14s - EJ, Magic, Jaffas, FMNC
Not sure about U13s. I would like to hear from anyone who has been following them.
A bit of guess work in these predictions, but would welcome feedback on why some teams are looking good and others are just making up the numbers.
Yes the boys get to have a kick this weekend, unless they are playing at westy, 😜
17's I think a bit more if the same from last years 15's so CCB, Weston & Olympic
Buds, FMNC to be good with Valo to be the smokies
15's FMNC & Buds
14's don't know
13's EJ's & Edgy two good coaches that should develop kids nicely, will enjoy watching these kids
But really who knows just hope they all play well, no injuries and all the kids enjoy themselves
And so it begins again for 2016. Early results from Darling St. Olympic win 13s 3-2 & 14s 2-1
Olympic 3-1 over Weston in 15s and Olympic lead 1 nil at halftime in 17s.
Final score in 17s 3 nil to Olympic.
