I think your views are a bit naive then. I've known plenty of players who lived solely off the payments from state league. Granted a fair majority of them were uni students who would have been scraping for money otherwise, but I've also known some older heads who haven't had work outside of football (for various reasons).
OK
Abe Wheelhouse to Maitland.
WOW havent Maitland recruited this year? they have already got a side that should win the comp but now they have a side that could compete well in the NBN
Surely will get promoted now that all the decent teams in that comp are gone!!
Time to stir the pot...
1 word JAFFAS.
Surley a melbourne storm conspiracy brewing.
People's Thoughts?
Reports out of Tuesday nights meeting at northern.
Each club must submit their 20 man squad 30 days prior to commencement of competition.
Comp starts April 6.
Squad must be under 250 points.
There will only be two " transfer" windows during the year where you can make changes to your 20 man roster,lets say rounds 6 & 12. So once your original squad of 20 is named, no one from outside of those 20 players can play first grade until the first window opens,special circumstances if you have a long term injured player. So if a player wishes to leave lets say Southy after round 1 to join Weston,then said player could not play first grade for Weston until the first window to change your roster opens. Apparently when this window opens,a club can also only make 2 changes. A long term injured player sounds like will be a player out for 4 plus weeks and will need medical certificate
Young players should be taught by adequately credentialed coaches at clubs. I find it ridiculous that any club can justify paying semi pro players a wage yet fail to actually pay to see coaches at all levels are adequately trained to perform their job. Maybe the money in local football should actually be going to developing youth from U6's up to First grade by developing them correctly and better than is done at present rather than lining the pockets of first grade players for training 2 nights a week and playing a game on the weekend.
I find the criticism of the FFA ridiculous for trying to improve the standards of clubs across the country so that the standards of player coming through to First grade in the State Leagues >> HAL >> Socceroos are greatly improved in the future. The current standards are definitely not good enough.
