Thought the Griff was signed, sealed and delivered to Cooks Hill? I've also heard rumblings of another former HAL player running around next season at a surprising NewFM club.
Perhaps a former jets strength and conditioning coach doing some recruiting?
**** there are some stubborn dumb arses on this Forum, I'm not commenting on Edgy's track record in the past for developing players, I'm refering to NOW, under Zane, he placed his faith in young guys this season and it paid off. Just saying it would be better for the game long term if clubs followed his example.
Think I'll just copy and paste the above again if some other imbecile repeats the same old shit again about "Edgeworth never gave a shite about development..."
I'm with you mate, so many clubs now have a short term plan, you invest in your facilities/coaching/juniors you have a stron club for the long term.
The youth focus at Edgy is not Zane rather the club prior to Zane under Wilson. Wilson pretty much brought all the young talent that is currently at the club, he developed them over the last 2 years or so. Now that they have matured, zane is getting all the credit. But, unfortunately for Zane he doesn't quite deserve it all.
That is the dumbest comment I've ever seen. Zany was making calls you wouldn't normally let's look at Pritchy for example? Played 100 plus 1st grade games for edgy and Azzuri . Yet how many games did he start this season? He played guys like Pasquale Moore next to Luke walker almost all yr. Cameron Hughes another with a lot of experience yet played guys like Brice ahead of him. The football edgy played this yr was sparkling and for that zany deserves all the credit. Jog on fools. If they grab a out and out striker they will win it again next yr.
I agree, zaney made some big calls this year. Especially after losing 2 of the first 3 games. You can also throw Justin Tannock in there as a player zaney didn't use much this year. While Wilson and Foley did well bringing the youth through it was zaney who took the gamble and played them ahead of established 1st graders. I think his bigger test will be next year. There was a lot said about his players buying into his rotation policy, yet they have so far lost pritchard, hughes and olzehmer. Obviously not all happy with limited game time.
Thanks mate, that's the point I've been trying to make. It was a gamble by Zane to put his faith in untried youth and it paid off.
I'm not affiliated with Edgy in any shape or form but I will give someone accolades if they deserve it and Zane deserves it. Meanwhile like I said before other clubs have become lazy and would prefer to try their luck on the player merry-go-round by throwing money at an experienced player.
The thing is though nothing is guaranteed, everything fell into place nicely for Zane this season, next year he might not be as fortunate.
At least he has unearthed some good young players for the future for NNSW football, how many players have other clubs unearthed? 1 maybe 2?
Where have these guys gone, any idea.
Pritchard to Dudley
Hughes to CCB
Olzemer to valo
I thought huhges went to wallsend
Some of these guys must have a vast array of warm up gear
I've heard from a few people he has signed at CCB. But who knows
Heard today Michael Kanta from jets to lambton jaffas
"The youngest brother of Jets midfielder Ben Kantarovski joins Beau McDonald, who has joined Lambton Jaffas, as local players cut from the youth squad before the eight-game National Youth League."
I think you will find Michael has joined Beau as ones being cut from Youth but only Beau is going to Jaffas.
Looks like the youth league is done and dusted, return all the players to NPL clubs, let the coaches go back to there day jobs(if they have one or if they are employable), let the emerging jets extract themselves from a good competition and long live the a twelve team nnsw first division. Jaffas, magic, valo, Weston, rosebuds, azzuri, edgy, maitland, lakes, Olympic, wallsend, Toronto, belswans, cessnock, westy, etc.
If the Jets were somehow not in the NPL in 2017, the solution is simple - No relegation and promote the winner of NewFM 2016, for arguments sake its Lakes, then suddenly we have 2 even 10 team leagues.
Adamstown
Broadmeadow
Charlestown
Edgeworth
Hamilton
Lakes
Lambton
Maitland
Valentine
Weston
Belswans
Cessnock
Cooks Hill
Kahibah
Singleton
South Cardiff
Thornton
Toronto
Wallsend
West Wallsend
