I say these things KNOWING the impact it will have on my own kids one who full well knows he could win an NPL grand final in Sydney and never get a look in at the jets and he is in he process of starting to work with player agents to likely try and go overseas in the next few years.

Edit: I have provided this feedback directly to the club and received 0 response in regards to the wellbeing issues it raises as well as the multitudes of conflicts of interest in the girls space - for a player that was part of their pre academy for the entire year.
Again every Academy has it's issues, just like every parent has an opinion about ability. Players have different pathways, but to condemn or praise one Academy over another without having a clue what goes on in others is pointless.
