Absolutely nothing wrong with that!!! One of the classics..
As long as its Jaws the revenge
hahaha.. I haven't seen that one, yet..
I did just download all four Jaws movies in a pack the other day, I'm assuming they get worse and worse after the first.
How many Aussies do we currently have playing in the EPL, LaLiga, Bundesliga, Serie A and so on ... Not many considering the level of investment in the game currently compared to the NSL days.
The NSL had massive problems and I'd never want to go back because somethings like the quality of grounds / facilities in the A-league are far better than they ever were back when. Recovery / Medical and so on is again much better now as well - players have a better profile... and so on .. yes I get it.
But if you think we don't have serious issues developing players for the best leagues in the world you are in denial. In that respect we have gone backwards.
2018 is shit by the way. You just don't know any better.

Seems pretty similar to me if anything there is probably more now.
Although im positive most of those are made up names and leagues, this little nugget of info made me smile.

You start off by calling me far leftListen to this far left outraged moron.
The game was sinking into an ethnic sewer. Yeah it was competitive but limited to growth. There was no chance of growing he game without mainstream population having some sort of belonging. Those that did soon left and went to AFL/League.
What Lowy did was include 80% more of Australia and was a master stroke. Your superior race can still compete.
I'd bet you were at one of these fully sick clubs and are butt hurt. Think you need a bigger plug and a tissue.

1st for everything but you are the only **** on the planet who thinks i lean to the.left
Disageee that the idea of the HAL was solid
It was flawed
The franchise model that we have was limited in its ability to work
It has over the last 13 years seen us have to get into bed with the Clive Palmers and Nayfun Tinklers of the world and now we are onto foreign.ownership
We have priced out every existing club in Oz from wanting in bar South
We have priced out possible owners
We have only suceeded in creating a monopoly for the PFA and FFA.at the expense of everything else
The system was ****ed.in 2005
Lowy aint a messiah for applying business practices that made his shopping centre empire huge to Oz football
Nah, I thought everyone was of this opinion.
Classic left wing behaviour.
Just own it Member.
Good post Premy. It doesn't seem we have as many playing in the first team in the elite leagues as in the past.
2018 We have 0 in Serie-A, 0 in La liga, 2 in Bundesliga, 1 GK in EPL, Eredivisie representation is strong though question mark over the quality of the league these days. Championship, and youth representation looks surprisingly strong as well - could evolve into something over the next few years - but it's not EPL !st team representation like we had in 2006.
2006 though we had players representing all the major competitions in Europe and many of them playing first team football and Champions league as well. That's clearly not the case anymore.
EPL and Serie-A representation was much stronger if we compare 1st team football.

No
Wont ever be part of the loony left
Could easily pick apart the rest of his argument but his first point showed me he hasnt got a clue
The current model has just actually limited opportunities to young kids as the HAL clubs dont give the yoof a go
Back in the NSL days the clubs understood the value of sending players to Europe so that is why your Vidukas and zelics and Okons were playing at 16/17 etc
HAL clubs really have not embraced this but this is more of a problem with the model
Then you throw in the cozy welfare state pay cheque system the PFA have got going on where many players show no ambition to go OS but are happy to just move club to club around the HAL
Then if 1 is lucky enough to get an OS gig then look at how many of them fail
Birraz
Taggart
Brillante
Goodwin
All get out of Oz with an opportunity to suceed in Europe
All come back and coast along at this level again
It is an absolute tragedy
All starts with the system in place
of course, back in those days a young player could move overseas before the age of 18, which is now illegal
but carry on
That age thing is correct in thast things have changed
But Viduka Zelic and co didnt move O/S until they had a couple of years of NSL football under their belt and would have been over the 18 age thing anyway

canberra has announced a bit of a partnership with the wollongong wolves, will play one game a season there. not really sure this is actually a smart move. just seems to dilute the whole "we're going for community ownership and members will have a massive say on everything" vibe they've been trying to sell.
Still remember that dark day when the old Newcastle United had a home game at bloody Gosford....praise Griff for scoring and making it worthwhile.
The new FFA peeps should just let like all of the bids in then just leave the gypos off the fixture list and see if anyone even notices.
When i first heard of this about 8 weeks ago i thought it was a odd move
