If they want to have Open sides for loyal club players not good enough to play NPL first grade go field sides in the Zone Leagues like Olympic and Magic do.

Not ****ing rocket science

Yet they want to keep run of the mill footballers in the NPL instead of letting them go to New FM or Zone where they belong


If you ain't playing first grade or not in the clubs plans by 20 reality is your pushing shit up the hill to get there anyway.

Move on and give someone younger their chance
How is it FFA mandated across the country when it even says in the article that the South Australian NPL still has reserve grade. Clubs were told 3 years ago at the commencement of the npl by Eland and Co that the nnsw competition had to go to 1st 20s and 18s or we couldn't compete in the npl. Yet here we are , 3 years down the track and South Australia are still playing with a reserve grade comp and guess what ? They are still in the NPL. Reserve grade would be great to be back in the competition as the gulf between 1st grade and under 20s will be massive. Not every player has to be playing 1st grade by the time they are 18 and not every player is past their use by date at the age of 20 or 22 or 25. This shit about move aside and give a young kid a go cracks me up. If the young kid is good enough he should earn the spot or take it off a reserve grader. Not be entitled to it because he is only 18 years old. **** me
