Doesn't make much sense. I'm 27 and I'm fitter, faster and more mobile I've ever been. Admittedly it's because I've completely changed my training but maybe if he wants to compete in the mobility side of things he needs to do a bit more off the pitch. 28 years old always seems to be the number people throw around as being in their prime. He sounds like he's getting ready to retire!Originally Posted by Premy
To Be fair,
The game is getting very quick and fitness is now a key to starting ,
I cant think of too many 28 - 30plus year olds that are quick and as fit as these 20 -22 year boys.
Plus i have never seen jarryd as being quick and fit even playing for southy

Give yourself a high 5
EAD
Aren't you a superstar Lukee. The guy has played more 1st grade games then you could dream of. Give yourself another high 5 bro
I also saw CCB had a 15yo playing 22's against jets
Nice to see kids getting ago
Now you have to keep them or bring in 28yo's from other clubs benches
Josh Evans is 30 or close to it and doing a pretty good job. Jacob Baily, Simon Mooney, the swans twins all must close to 28 or older. Crowel at maitland. All these guys are close to 28 or older and doing a fair job. there would be a heap doing well physically at the age of 28 or older.
I didnt want to count the old ex A-League guys, Mcbreen must close to pushing 40. Jobe is 31 or 32, leo bertos must be around 34. All these guys are in fair shape. But they do come from a pro background granted.
Agreed. Ronaldo is having a poor year at the age of 31. Luca Toni at the age of 38 is still banging in goals is Serie A.
So your excuse is that he has been playing at a high level for 10 years therefore he can let the body go? He has been poor physically for 2 years now compared to where he could/should be. He obviously has other priorities that are more important than football and good on him for that. But the 10 year excuse is embarrassing.

this :thumbsup
In no way was I trying to diminish what Jarryd has already archived at this level and I never intended to give the assumption that his no longer good enough for the NPL. I feel the same as most on here that this is a good signing for Azzurri.
I Just felt that quote was odd and somewhat funny coming from a 28 year old. As I'm sure the general consensus would feel that at 28 you should be a little more experienced and you should know what is required from yourself to have your body ready to compete at the level required.
As has been mentioned his played at this level for 10 years which is a great personal achievement. Having said that at 28 if his done the right thing then he should be at the peak of his playing career physically and technically.
Haha relax champ. Do people really dream to play first grade? Didn't know that was a thing. Anyway.. I didn't mean to come across like a flog beating my own drum. Probably could have worded better, but my main comment was that he made it sound like at 28 it's not possible to be fit and that it sounds like he's nearing retirement. 28 is far from being too old to play. Not taking away anything he's done, it's just that his quotes in the article sound like they are coming from a 38 year old.
You forgot the extra colon.
No worries Lukee. I can relax now that you have got your point across. Btw, you did come across as a flog beating your own drum in your earlier post , glad you cleared that up for us. Did you actually read your first post and think to yourself " Gee, i sound like a flog " ?
1. What's a flog?
2. Personally I was fine with Luke's original post. Made sense, gist of it being if he did some work off the pitch, he might stop sounding like an old man.
Flog was Luke's word,namwob. I was only plagiarising. If that's an accepted word on here Tonester
I must have read the thread wrong I was under the assumption we where here to talk about NPL football and not continually get side tracked with trivial crap like spelling and such. It's becoming painful.
Good pick up by CCB.
Any news on Pratts destination?
Don't apologise.. if that's the worst thing you say on here you have nothing to worry about. compared to what some of the blokes who have had a go at you about it have said on here hahaha. Necks must get sore looking up at the club you support
Top shelf I reckon, certainly got Premy covered with his misuse of his instead of he's.Must admit namwob is new to me, must go check the Thesaurus!
You have no space after "he's" and before "Must" Tonester.
He really does have terrible grammar.
Meanwhile with Clarke's appeal to be heard by the FFA tomorrow, anyone fancying his chances of being able to kit up for Maitland this weekend?
