    Great to hear, like the Azzurri game, them kids were probably watching Bertos on foxtel play for poonix or NZ not long ago, now THEY were marking him in Newcastle, would be surreal, well done to the young fella at Adamstown.

    Doesn't sound like there was much marking going on considering the scoreline, I've watched Azzurri play last couple of games and the younger players did nothing for me, their problem is to many slow legs in the middle of the park

    Good on the kid, he must go alright

    But is this just a token jesture from a club trying to keep him
    Quick look at the table shows Adamstown bottom in all three grades

    So stay with us johnny and look you can play first grade
    Get to a strong club and push yourself

    A bit of a negative attitude. Most clubs will push their young rising stars. Some never give them a chance. Looking to the future can bear fruit and is a better long term alternative to plucking the fruit from someone else's tree.

    Speaking of young stars I've been give the tip today that Sean Matthews has signed with Adamstown for the rest of the season.

    Now that's promoting youth...(insert tongue in cheek emoticon here)

    Does anyone really 'promote youth' or do they just play young players when they don't have their preferred starting 11

    What do you define as a strong club exactly ? A club that pays outrageous wages perhaps .
    .
    Atown are putting tremendous effort into the youth structure at the club and a look at the youth tables will show signs of this .

    The NPL table is sadly at present with perhaps the exception of Edgeworth a ladder of who has the biggest wallet but hopefully this can change in years to come or at very least balance out a little .

    Your post is nonsense .

    This post is nonsense. Do you really think Edgeworth aren't paying good money for Mcbreen, Evans , Moriyasu, Hammel etc. And good on them if they have the money to do it. If the ladder represents the biggest wallet,why do the jaffas sit on 11 points ?

    And why not, great achievement

    But like CCB young ones need experience and quality to help develop them

    Buds seem to be lacking in one or maybe both departments

    Any talk of $$$ is nonsense
    All clubs pay money, some more than others and some spend it better than others

    Biggest waste is NewFm were clubs pay $$$ for under 19&22 not quite good enoughs

    Not mine WB, but I do appreciate talent and what Buds are trying.

    He only ended up at buds because his 2015 club offered 17's, trailed at another club but missed so went to buds because they offered 19's
    Would he be playing first grade at his previous club, no chance or at any other top half club, probably not
    If he is this good then he would be looking well beyond buds minimum jets youth next year

    If buds have some plan to develop youth into first graders then start with first grade, make sure it is strong so players want to play there,
    As I said token effort to try and keep him
    Heard he left 2015 club because of coach and management, as did 8 of his team mates. Others trialled elsewhere and either didn't get in or were too late to change.
    Or maybe you are right and they all wanted to leave because first grade had been poor the last couple of years. Or maybe the policy of pushing players down rather than up was a concern?
