The 2023 NPL job was always Stojs, just as for 2022 Npl's 13s we appointed Bobby and Moorey, and 2024 will be Berlo and 2025 will be JB should they want it, all they have to do is ask. At Magic we call that progression. The club rewards coaching loyalty just as we maintain loyalty within our playing groups.
FYI, and to put this stupidity to bed once and for all... it was former coach who threw former TD under the bus when summoned to a whole Magic JDL disciplinary meeting based on a matchday incident in former coaches team not Stoj's team.
Every trip to Weston for JDL the canteen wasnt open so we couldnt try the chicken burgers.Hoping they keep it open for youth this year as it sounds like the white whale of football food.George at Olympic is still the leader for mine and to be honest i dont mind the Magic ones.The little bit of spice they use is a nice touch.With away trips for Coffs Harbour and Taree this year my only hope is that there is a good burger at the end of that drive.So Carl are you moving to Valo this year or are you going to be still doing a few Edgy days this year the kids love the horns out there.
I totally agree.It would be lucky if half of the kids who started their JDL journey in 9's will end up playing 13's for that same club.Player movement is expected for a variety of reasons.For anyone to hold a grudge either at club or player level is not healthy.I saw a lot of kids who were let go from their JDL teams for one reason or another end up in what you might consider a better situation just because a different set of eyes had a different opinion of them.I know points become a factor in 13's but i think its just another development cycle for the kids to get through to 16's where only the best will then progress into the senior grades.The kids have a long long way to go.Whatever happens to them we as parents should always teach them never to give up.
Forget the a league
Seems like local jnr football is where it’s at
Incorrect. Not him, have another guess.
Just like Hartley does at Jafs. Olympic , Magic acquire better kids that other clubs have trained up. Most clubs would if they could.His team was very good in its first year of JDL but came crashing down to earth in season 2021 ,when other kids caught up and it clearly showed he had no idea as a coach. Just because you pinch kids from other clubs doesnt mean you can coach them.
It's a 2 way street though. They attract the better kids due to their success.
I am going to support good football wherever it is played and enjoy the delights of the various canteens. There are unfortunately no culinary revelations at the canteens of Mid Coast or North Coast but you will definitely be guaranteed some interesting refereeing up there.
they are legitimate reasons why players may move onto other clubs. But to go round poaching kids from other clubs is abhorrent, particularly offering them spots halfway through the season for the following year. This is JDL not the EPL, if players really wanted to come to your club because of success they would put in an EoI, they would contact the club, you don't have to poach players.
This is even before we consider that an U9 player may be good now but may be average or behind the pack by the time he is going into U13s and 1st grade. That's assuming they want to keep playing at age 12
Lets not go back here so soon.....
