Ok let’s get something straight, the kid you speak of isn’t middle of the range, he’s one of the top 3/4 kids in that team and his selection has nothing to do with his father so stop being salty. If anything there should have been another 2/3 kids selected from that side and another from the other magic team as they were the best teams in Comp last year. Leo definitely had some pull on some Olympic kids selected because one kid has made the TSP that didn’t even get selected in the magic team when he trialed last season I’m told.
Not salty at all. I watched both Magic teams on multiple occasions last year. From what I saw (and others expressed) he'd be very lucky to be in the top 5 in Magic 9's last year.
Even you say he is top 3/4 in that team, there were better players than him in the other 9's Magic team which would put him about mid range in his age group at his club.
I actually agree with you that there were others at Magic that were very unlucky not to be selected. However I'll be clear, apart from the Magic boys I don't know the list of 12 boys who were selected. But there were boys in multiple other clubs (especially New Lambton) who would consider themselves very unlucky as well.
I definitely would not have agreed with 3 Magic boys from the same side and none from the other being selected.
The main reason that Magic team is so strong is that they probably had the best player in the 9's age group last year playing in their midfield. I actually think the other Magic 9's team play better football and should have had 1, maybe 2 boys selected in the TSP.
Anyway, we're getting caught up in semantics, my main point is that the TSP selection process was really poor. If they weren't going to hold trials then they should have turned up to a lot more games in person. They are in paid positions for a reason. It's already clear to me that they didn't select the strongest players in last years strongest teams.
Better football? Ok that just clarified to me you don’t know what you’re talking about and sound like a salty father like I said.
It’s like saying Barca is only good because they have Messi, Juventus because they have Ronaldo. He’s part of that team and you saying it’s the only reason they are better is laughable and you sound so bitter.
Let me guess your son wasn’t selected?
I’m a fan of magic and I’m happy to see all 4 SAP teams doing so well but if you’re going to be biased I’ll chip in for what I see from the stands and my son doesn’t play in either team for record so I don’t have any bias opinions, just calling it as I see it.

Yes, better football. One the opposition got to grips with the very talented young lad in midfield it tended to break their game down. He has a go to move which he times very well where he manages to play the ball past defenders coming at him. Once the boys (or coaches) played to contain that he wasn't as effective. I witnessed on several occasions where the team went up a couple of goals very quickly but the game stagnates after that as the play continues to be channeled through the middle and the ball is turned over. The other team play more structured and focus a lot more play down the flanks with short passing between their players. They were much more pleasing to watch and were a threat to every team they played from start to finish. They seem to have better positional structure, probably down to different coaching, and involve all their players throughout the games.
Just because a team wins due to individual talent does not mean they are playing better football. Just look at how neutered Barcelona are when Messi doesn't play as a perfect example of what happens when teams rely on individuals as opposed to playing well.
How you derive that as salty is beyond me, I am not arguing for my son or that players from his club should have been selected as the club already has extra training plans in place for the best boys in each age group not selected in TSP. Missing out selection at this age means absolutely nothing as individuals will develop technically and physically at very different paces over the next few years. As long as the boys are being effectively coached and are enjoying it then I have no issues at all, I am 100% happy with everything being done at Jaffas.
NNSWF on the other hand...... Their lack of visibility, support and oversight have left me with lots of concerns and all I am saying is that I question their decision making process.
We must have been watching different teams then, so you’re going off a few games they played vs Jaffa’s and I’m going off what I seen week in week out? Pretty sure that talented midfielder missed a few games last year and they still managed to win games comfortably. But I guess you would know more from the 2 games you played them last year 👍 our groups train with one another often and even Training games so I do see them a fair bit. But carry on.😁
OYou do realise at the hub days the clubs play at the same location even if they aren’t playing together I saw them on multiple occasions. I never mentioned winning anywhere though as I was discussing how they played.
Never mind though, I am ending the conversation here as you are trying to find an argument or offence out of nothing.
So let me get this right, a Jaffa’s kid dad is getting worked up about the other magic team that didn’t have a few players selected? I think you might be putting up a few smoke screens? Maybe you’re a magic dad or a good friend of a magic dad possibly?
Well we both agree that the other side should have had at least one picked but I wouldn’t swap any of the ones that were for them, I’d look at maybe swap one from the other club.
If I was to choose one I’d have to say the goalkeeper as he’s very very good in goals but wouldn’t make it on the field.
Anyway it’s no big deal if NNSW chose those kids as we have seen in the current 10s group kids were dropped after 1 season and replaced with others, so if you don’t perform they will replace you as we seen this year.
Geez Yaa Yaa. Ya bag out the other team at yr club & then want to swop this kid for that kid like ya playing FIFA. Ya then say a bloke is a spy or best mates with kids from that other magic team cos he has a different view to you. & u don’t know why people on here hate magic???
Worse thing is all this info you got make me think u one of the coaches. You say you ain’t but we all no.
Guess I best mates with aegon now!
Gee Wizz I think I might need a translator to read that comment. Did you go to school bud or just have a stab at English? I have a feeling you would be more comfortable with a crayon in your hand.
Yes you got me, I’m the coach 🤦*♂️ I guess that makes all of us coaches in this group because we all know so much.
Bag out other team? Hahahah can you read? I’m the one that said they should have some kids in that TSP program but not in the place of the kids that were picked as they deserve their place and some unlucky to miss out. These kids all train together at magic so it’s not hard to see who the standouts are, you don’t have to be their coach to know that if you have some idea about the game. Go and read the thread again dumbo before making a fool of yourself. Go magic 😀
The only 1 being a fool is u Coach Yaa Yaa. U spent all afternoon saying how much better the kids in yr team are & how you wouldn’t swop for kids in other team. ‘Only take keeper, but he’s rubbish on field’ blah blah. I hope the kids in the other team never end up being coached by u cos you ain’t gonna give them a fair go.
I never seen these kids play but some other say he likes the other team better & you go in. Bully boy. Bully coach. Soccer is about opinions. You ain’t the gospel so let people have there views.
Hahahahahahaha oh dear 🤣🤣🤣 I said I wouldn’t swap the kids that have been selected in the TSP for ones that haven’t for the tsp side not the actual magic side you stupid fool, haven’t you got your wires crossed Hahahaha so you actually thought I was the coach of these kids and I didn’t want to swap “my players” for “their players” hahahahaha you really are an idiot aren’t you 🤦*♂️

You should try the edit, helps fix spelling mistakes so people can understand you. A grown man that still can’t separate there from their*
Hahah they might see it and if they don’t I’ll show them so we can have a laugh at your expense , I don’t put up smoke screens like old mate ageon who’s said in a comment earlier he only knows what happens at magic and then says his kids at Jaffa’s 🤣 but knows all the players and teams and how they play 🤔 I also think you should stop talking for him or are you snuggled up next to him on the lounge, as he’s gone quiet since that comment ?hahaha
Gee I hope I don’t dig too big of a hole, the coach might bench my son 😱
All I know is if my son makes it or doesn’t make a TSP team I definitely won’t be going on social media to cry about it.
Anyway This has been fun, cheers for the laugh dumbo 🤙
Well that was an interesting read lol.
Aegon that’s a bit harsh mate singling out certain 9 year olds and saying they don’t deserve to be there and only there because of their father.
Guys just relax a little, they are 9yrs old so let’s not get carried away with all the tsp stuff and let nnsw handle that and I’m sure at end of the day the right kids will be where they need to be when time comes around without fathers fighting on forums about which 9 yr old is better.
Now does anyone know when the SAP draw comes out? I’ve heard it’s a bit shambles at nnsw with coaches leaving and on holidays so they probably haven’t even made a draw yet.
I’ve heard it’s 1 game a week but are they grouping them in A and B on ability or just mixing it up again?
If they do group them like that will the teams that have 2 stronger teams from same club face one another or will you just end up playing the same opponents over and over throughout the year, because I remember some teams playing each other 3/4 times last season and others just once which wasn’t ideal in my opinion.
