    Will even up some of the games too, as a fair few of the blowouts happen late in halfs/games.
    Your solution to increasing a player's ability is to reduce the amount of time they are playing which reduces their time on the ball and time learning how to play.

    The player's already won't be playing 80 mins (except for the keeper) since any good coach and club will ensure there is even rotation. Team of 15 will have players playing about 54 minutes each game. Under this silly proposal they would go down to 40 mins per game. We won't even be producing players to increase the quality of 1st grade let alone players to make it higher.

    Anyone who wants to further reduce game time has rocks in the head. The fact the 18s and reserves aren't 45 mins is a disgrace.

    Stole this from here:
    http://www.dunedinfootballacademy.com/training-hours

    On average, European academies train as follows:

    Team Training (Average volume):
    U12 and below: 41-42 weeks/year, 3x per week consisting of 4-5 hours training.
    U13-U15: 44 weeks/year, 5x per week consisting of more than 7 hours training.
    U16+: 45 weeks/year, 5x per week consisting of about 9 hours training.

    Individual Training (Average volume):
    U12 and below: once per week, 30-60 minutes.
    U13-U15: twice per week, 90 minutes.
    U16+: at least twice per week, about 120 minutes.
    All opinions expressed here are my own.

    Probably the 8th silliest thing I've read on here. Sydney comp has also moved to 13,14's x 35 and 15 and 16's 40.......... Just last week.
    Literally NOBODY is saying spend less time on the park.

    Kids should have a ball at their feet everyday, whether that be organised or just individually honing their skills. Those that have the drive and ambition will do that others my just rest on their laurels.
    Organised training sessions should be to develop game awareness and systems, and introduce new skills to hone at home.

    The European clubs all have their own academies and in some cases kids get collected from school by the club buses, unfortunately we don't have those luxuries.

    If shortening game time then have less squad members. Having 5/6 on the bench is stupid.

    Just be cause you look the part doesn't mean you can play.
    Aint that the truth. Rep trials wearing scoops and still putting opponents over the fence!

    Apparently the TD at edgy has resigned effective immediately. Sounds like it was to make a stand to the club. Is this the fall of the eagle?

    Not many, just a few to replace those they lost to Jets. My mate Garbo just does a great job coaching them and is very development focussed.

    So the same old Magic coaches were sent from the field over the weekend against NL18s.

    Not the first time nor will it be the last time from those two galahs but seems the Magic committee will back their friends over the perception of the club.

    They were never sent off. The two Magic Coaches carried on like they always do when their team is losing and at the end of the game one of the NL officials told the big fella to pull his head in. The rest of the day was trouble free and both Clubs seem to be striking up an interesting relationship as officials and Coaches from both Clubs were mingling and talking at length.
