The NPLW may as well be a Calcutta. Whomever buys the most allotments, wins the prize. It is a million miles away from being about Clubs and meaning something to win for a badge. All we see at the moment is mercenaries and wasted cash. Women's football is so important. The first Club that nails an identity and creates something meaningful establishes itself as the benchmark. Everything else currently feels forced.
Yes, because that has worked so well in the Men's NPL. Quite simply there isn't enough "first grade standard" players to go around to avoid the blow out scores we are having at the moment. Some clubs go the "development" path, however, there comes a time when these ladies want to win, and player movement and recruitment is inevitable.
Winning coaches recruit. If you want to improve the competition we must recruit from a wider area including more players from Central Coast and North Sydney. The players coming through the Jets Youth are all 16 and younger, and in reality would struggle to depose some of the girls in the top 4 clubs from their starting spots.
Totally agree, there are not enough players of a standard for a Premier competition.
The better girls should be going and playing in the Sydney comp to maintain their standard. As these girls are what make up a good portion of the Jets W-league side. If they continue to play against inferior standard, they will not be competitive in the higher league.
It has shown with the Jets W-league results over the past few years.
100%
I guess/wonder if there’s a bit of fear from the Club’s perspective to push the girls, especially the ones who live locally, down to Sydney due to potentially exposing them to “better opportunities” and having the players not return to the Jets… Contracts solve those issues, but I’m not familiar enough with how the Jets contract their players, whether it's a season at a time or multi-year deals.
Kirsty Fenton signs with Sydney fc, another loss for the jets
Azzurri led at the 88 minute mark. They will be gutted.
And Azzurri player Jess Gentle scored on debut for the Knight's. She was not available for this game.
