Which area have you moved to?
Just to change the topic I read in the paper NBN clubs are looking for keepers as a couple have decided to retire, how do you rate the keepers in NewFM and do you think any could step up to the next level. Obviously Maitland will keep there keeper so of the others what do you think?
Don't think the keeper issue will be that great of an issue in NPL.
Obviously the reserve keeper at the clubs may step up fill the breach, may even wish to pilfer from outside Newy also. Add in the possibilities with picking someone up from the EJ program and I am not seeing the clubs rushing into New FM to plug the holes.
GK requirements will depend on what a coach wants in a keeper and what is has on the field in front of him. If he has a soild defense that don't give up too many shots and keeps the attack away from goal than they may prefer keeper with good aerial dominance. If you have a leaky defence then a out & out shot stopper may be required. Also does he want a keeper who can distribute long for quick counters or to hit the head of a strong midfielder or a keeper who can play as an extra ball player when playing out from the back. Keepers with different strengths fit better into certain teams just like any other player.
I would have thought this is the requirements of all keepers. I may be wrong but I would have someone who knows his job and that is to save goals, distribute the ball and organise your defence. No one has answered my question though, who do you rate as a keeper with potential of playing up a division that a club may be interested in other than Kelly or are they all shit.
All keepers yes, but just with field players certain keepers are stronger in some aspects than they are in others. So he is performing the best in NEWFM maybe influenced by the team & structure he is playing within & it might not be a match for a club who is looking for a keeper with other qualities to suit their style & structure of play.
If you want a field playing example of what I mean. Team X signs Player Y who was the leading scorer last season, however 80% of his goals were from crosses however Team X plays a keep the ball on the ground style & doesn't have a player who can supply they same quality crosses into the box. Therefore despite player Y being a top player his production would diminsih due to the style of play he now finds himself in.
I think you'll find Westy found him better resourced up front than in goals - they didn't exactly have the best choice of player quality and quantity this season.
The guy is a quality keeper and is only in his early to mid 20s. Also has previously played at state league youth teams. If I were a state league club I'd definately be sounding him out.
OK
not sure if these 3 are still playing or where as have not watched any games this season but from years past i could see potentially cessnocks keeper, jaffas past newfm keeper and young boy i saw play for westy i feel would be more than capable to fill the spots based on hear say and matches ive watched them play in
also does anyone have details on where and date of newfm gf this year ? thanks
The ranga between the sticks at cessnock is quality
