Parents (in general - not everyone) in that age group were
Unhappy they didn’t have a say when NF were engaged to provide technical support.
Constantly butting heads with the Director of Football after he was appointed.
Divided between the JWF clique and the non JWF families.
Difficult to get volunteers from for home games.
After hearing about the second 12’s team being introduced some outright refused to mix their kids with the “new kids”.
This is just what I can remember off the top of my head.

Lol, you asked the question, I gave you a response.
Now you’re making an assumption on where it was heard. You forget there are managers, co-ordinators & other parents who talk.
You are just showing your inherent bias. As I mentioned earlier. It’s funny the issues only occurred in a single age group.

I believe there is a broader cultural issue at the Jaffas.
I became aware of 2 recent examples that point to the issue.
1. A team manager for the U/12 team sent a message ahead of the Newcastle Olympic game denigrating less fortunate members of society (housing commission) who reside close to Darling St oval. The manger has not been reprimanded by the club.
2. A defender within the U/12 team continues to target players in back play. In yesterdays game he karate kicked a NO player off the ball and subsequently scythed the same player down in the following play with the ball well and truly gone. What are Jaffas senior coaching figures doing about such behaviour. Will it take a serious injury to deal with and correct the beahviour?
Its ok,the New Lambton Kids that left last year all have the worst parents in the world too according to some.As some one who knows parents from both clubs mentioned,not one of them has regretted moving on.Probably something in that.Clubs are fine theres always kids willing to take a spot.Its best we all move on.
