Time for me to eat a little humble pie (see my post about last time we played) Southy slightly on top against Adamstown three draws and a win over our (perviously) unbeaten 14s.....
Long way to go but we improve each week
Played this weekend with his club side. Definitely just training for a one off event.
Visitation rights for BB are no great loss and I'm sure not permanent. Would be better off staying with his club as long as they stay in the NPL.
David Eland and his cronies of overpaid middle management couldnt give a toss about NPL development from 13- 19Yrs.
The E Jets program is already under serious review by Michael Browne who actually knows what he is doing.
Maybe Eland should focus on getting rid of dinosaurs like his Ops Manager first and then bring in a real ops team to oversee development thay Browne should oversee.
not sure if this is the right place for this or not.. but have heard magic juniors have west hams oceania academy coming to newcastle? anyone heard anything about it?? is it all just for money or what?
Saw it on Magic's Facebook page. Bit expensive at $150 bucks considering most players attending would have already forked out hundred's as it is to play in NPL Youth or whatever. Could be a good opportunity though to learn a few things from an EPL academy. Think I read only one coach was coming to Magic Park and I'm not sure how much one coach can do with that many kids in such a short time (hour and a half). Still a decent chance to learn a new thing or two but as I mentioned it is a tad expensive. Good on Magic though for opening it up to all juniors and not just their own.
All gone quiet boys! I wasn't able to get to any games on the weekend so lets hear your info on what went on.
Particularly interested in hearing from you Blue/Blew boys.
In the 15s the top 4 sides all won leaving Adamstown and the Jets with some work to make the finals. Weston continue to be the dark horse and CCB'S have strung some wins together after an early season lapse. Magic had another big win and must have a solid for/against record. Hamilton also continue to win but overall it's Magic slightly the more impressive. These top sides play each other over the next few weeks so the real contenders should stand up and be counted. Heard that some washout games rescheduled for next weekend with some teams playing on both Saturday and Sunday.
Thanks Bloo. I have also heard about catch up games so these results should make things a lot clearer and also at least allow the kids the chance to play football.
I'm thinking the top 4 in 15's pretty well done and probably in order, fair enough as well the 4 better performing teams
Agree that Weston are the dark horses, big strong and fast and can play football, but I have said all year that Magic would be hard to beat and haven't seen anything to change my mind. But as last year showed, get to the last 4 and then it's only 2 wins to a premiership
Yep CCB have double header this weekend, Buds on sat and Magic on Sunday
But with three drops of rain having fallen at Lisle Carr already, I would have serious doubts about playing

Not you Why, - Y!
Thought I would put in English. Messages can lose something in loose translations.
Maitland play Jets Saturday (all except the 17's, Jets team have something else on) and Jaffas Sunday. All at Cooks Square. Given current weather forecast I expect these will all be cancelled again.
What is the situation with the EJs having something else on? Is it because it was originally a spare weekend?
EJ 15's playing in Nike Cup in Sydney
Yep, already committed I would guess given this was originally a spare weekend.
There has been no word if this will be scheduled again or these 2 teams just won't meet this year.
Here's a thought , given that the EJ program is for development only, not points, the EJ 15's forfit this game, bonus is that maitland 17's would get their first win...........quite possibly the only win for the future if Miatland football
Assuming the game went as expected, the EJs would go top of the table.....it is a double point game.
Should not matter, EJ program is for development, points and where they finish on ladder is irrelevant
Jets are the ones unable to play as they are playing in an alternate competition, their choice.
Maitland should call forfeit and EJ's should not contest
Have been reading this thread/forum for a little while now but this is my first post
My interest is in the NPL youth and like a few on here the 15's in particular
last weekends Manchester United cup that was held in Sydney and represented locally by Emerging Jets 15's and Olympic 15's
Emerging Jets performed in my opinion poorly they won one, against side that eventually came last ( 10th ) Drew one and lost two
That put them in a play off against Olympic for 7th & 8th which EJ's won 2-0, not good enough from the area's elite, in my opinion
Maybe it's time to get serious with a few selections, look deeper into the NPL were kids are developing
The current policy of keeping under performing players does not seem to be working very well as this side has constantly under performed at last two nationals and again on the weekend
Maybe they need to look at why they need to recall a player who left the program, only two weeks before or why they carry a player who has been injured for the last two seasons and has kept a development position from another prospect or a couple of forwards who after years in the program still can't hit the net
Maybe I'm harsh but the one constant is these kids keep going to these tournaments and keep hugging the bottom of the ladder, this year they injected a little new blood but again poor results, so again maybe the wrong kids, maybe stop relying on club coach input ( that can be biased ) and actually get out to few games and watch the kids play
