As a non Magic supporter, I have to admit they do it better than anyone

Hi, just wondering if anyone knows of any clubs that are in need of a player for the U20s comp for next season, or would consider taking an extra over the pre season for numbers sake and potentially being a late inclusion in case of injuries or work commitments?
Cheers
I am sure most clubs out there who would still be willing to have a look, if the player is up to it ? Not a goalkeeper is he? I hear Lakes are still on the lookout for a keeper in their 18s
Newcastle Indigenous Allstars 4 Northern Nations ( Armidale ) 4
Newcastle play Charlestown U18 and U20 tonight at Lisle Carr
Newcastle play Edgeworth U18 and U20 24/10 at Edgeworth
Nationals start November 1 in Nowra
Would be good if NNSW gave this some support, they are representing the region. Thanks Magic, Charly and Edgy for the trials.
Anyone got any thoughts on Brice & Moore moving to Melbourne
Great opportunity for them and I think it's good to see them taking that step
But where does it leave Edgeworth, Brice is going to be hard to replace and I think Moore made a difference when he returned this year
Two big holes
Indigenous trials Tuesday night
Indigenous two ( 1 ) Charlestown 18s ( 2 )
Indigenous one ( 3 ) Charlestown 20s ( 1 )
Another good hit out
Good to hear about the Indigenous team, awesome initiative.
We keep getting told how good edgeworth are and how they match it with the best in the country so I ask this question, why are these moves seen as good opportunities when they are only moving from one npl comp to another and last time I looked these players had an A league team right under their noses ? Just a thought
I have a totally different opinion. I thought he struggled when he returned. maybe 1 or 2 goals. I can't recall him setting up any goals either, but i could be wrong here. That's poor from your attacking midfielder and someone who is touted as one of the best. A title which i think he has not earn't with performances yet IMO.
Plus, i dont think Edgeworth won all that many games when he came back.
Also, i think there are a few more leaving Edgyworth if the rumors are true. One of the officials of the club alluded to the players not liking the coaching out there.
What's your thoughts on Azzurri U20's Go Away
I know it's hard to gauge but Magic 20's beat Indigenous 3-1 and in return Indigenous beat Azzurri 20's 3-1
Just wondering if Azzurri lost young players with new coach coming on board and bringing back a heap of older players, effectively killing player development pathway to first grade
Makes it hard to attract quality youth
What do you think
Get what you are saying but two thoughts
First, it is generally accepted that Melbourne NPL s highest quality in the country and second Jets don't seem to be interested in any local product coming out of the local NPL, it's like they want to see the player go to a higher league and test themselves
If we are comparing Magic to Azzuri 20s, unfortunately Magic were a different class, but they did have dowse and a few others I cant think of that are Under 20 and getting regular first grade at Magic, Azzurri were down a couple of players who also were regular first graders at azzurri, but they were actually playing for the indigenous team against them, with one scoring a couple of the goals and the other a rock at the back. Indigenous only had three players over 18, wit h Hearfield, Swadling, and others to come in
GA interesing comments on your star studded 20's, stating there isnt a comparison to Magic, im sure those comments will inspire them to great things or maybe all the 18's players retained are not up to 20's
I believe the Magic side, had no 1st grade players, except the fringe youngsters like Dowse, Wislon Ifield whom are 18,19, actually had some 15 year olds, and plenty of 18 year olds whom played a full game prior.
Score should have been 5 or 6 for Magic.
looks like maybe Magic just to good, but very early days and really can't read to much into it
I assume the rock at the back you refer to was Tressider? Have heard some good things about him, he has had some first grade exposure. Maybe he strengthens Azzurri but he would be in Tacnhovski sights surly, not 20's
You would hope so, there will need to be young legs around them, with Cook and Pippen in the mix as well, the other 19yo has scored five goals in four games for the indigenous team and has already played twenty first grade games for Azzurri including scoring against Edgeworth in his only First Grade start last year, without being bias haha.
BTW ....Go Away is no longer President of CCB as his work has gotten priority, still follow the boys but. Strong coaches and committee taking the club forward.
Thx for update, knew you had some affiliation with Azzurri
Shame you have to give up a passion for a necessity hey
I wonder if NNSW have any idea of the work load on a club these days
Agree thoroughly but it is great we getting a pile of ex national league level players in the comp
Griff
Ry Griff
Jobe
McBreen
Disco Stu
Ljubo
Bertos
Etc
Etc
Be good if we getting them a fraction younger with stronger legs etc but it still a positive in some ways
Disgrace if this the case FR
I sure hope they don't slug the juniors and their parents with a pay up earlier demand to get the cash to settle their debts
It just shows they need to drop the wages
If they can't pay them by November then they were paying too much to start with
I can assure you all this is true, go to CCB Facebook site and the reaction of some of the players after the signing was announced tells a story
FR ..... you have absolutely zero idea, either take the word of a disgruntled player or the word of a former president who does everything for ZERO dollars, every contract has stated.... all players to be payed October 31st.... which unless you know better, is tomorrow a s required the club b has sent an rmail to ALL players owed, provide up to date bank details as na bet will be deposited tomorrow, ( 31st October ) so please GO AWAY or comment on reality not fantasy land you clown!!!
