He means Mark Robson, whom insiders have told me has been dropped as well. GVE covered in Teflon
Who is Ang? @Eastwood
Also, saw the Jets youth positions for the season, how that equates to a 2nd in club championship feels weird and cheap
18s - 9th
16s - 1st (great result)
15s - 9th
14s - 9th
13s - 11th
(And a another year in third tier for Snrs)...just feels like they are getting so much wrong
18 players
Adamstown Rosebuds 23 > Jets Academy 24

As someone with significant investment in youth football, please sit down.
The mariners made a motza selling youth players overseas this season. for example Pavlesic being sold to bayern is massive, as well as all the others I won't go through and list.
I am just sad that Miguel has left with monty as he was a huge fountain of knowledge in the goalkeeping space and not opposed to sharing that with those interested and becoming better players for it.
I can almost say that 13's and 14s at the mariners will almost be exclusively youth that live local (or localish) and as they get older they will scout from further out, they have a GK from brisbane and another from Canberra I think in the senior academy space if my memory serves me right, as their teams get older they get better as they attract players not opposed to being sold and playing overseas or able to move into the region.
It's a massively positive business model, so trying to pull them down on results really just makes you look silly. The players know where the opportunities lie.
What about the Kurri Kurri, Swansea and other community players that were offered positions?
Did any take them up? Respect to those who declined.
Alarming to see such a high volume of players, coaches and funders that canon -balled themselves out of the academy this year.
What appears to be left for 2024 is an overall average level of talent on and off the field, delusional parents that still believe their 'pay to play' will eventuate into something beyond a tsp match against Mariners and Sydney FC and players who have long dreamed to don the Jets trackies.
Some minor transparency between the staff and coaches can solve their problems in an instant but this is not possible when each is only looking after their own backyard.

I doubt you've got more than me!

No they didn't make a motza, most of those deals were done prior to being at CCM. Di Pizio, Pav etc. The figures for transfer fees are very low around 100k for Pav.

And?? The dominant 15's are 90% local and will be the same in the 16's for 2024.

That's just not true at all, the owner will go broke. No Academy players are flowing into the A League Team. Well not for some time anyway. They let Bayliss leave as an example.
