Just because you married the town bike (all Cardiff knows) doesnt mean you have to rag out on everyone else.

I give you a real answer. Youth coaching is nothing special and it shows.
I dont have a lad so it shows you are a stupid old hack who knows nothing and cant play. The old rat with the gold tooth from Southy.
Sounds like from others you like the slops lol. Have to call you Mayo man
What ive heard. Pity.
Jets don't get the best youth coaches. They get the ones that can afford the time to travel to sydney every second weekend.
"It is not that I am afraid to die; its just that I don't want to be there when it happens" - Woody Allen
That is a concern as well. The coaches there now dont get paid a lot for the hours that they do which is another problem. Other thing is you dont know what instructions are coming down from the top brass either.
A same age local team should never get close to a Jets academy team even if they trying 2 at the back or what ever shyte their trying this week.
Ill allege that the current selection people are deluded egocentric aholes. Not even any doubt. If the truth is harsh well own it.
I dont care who gets picked as long as they are the best end of. No favours, no mates rates. They have not done that and have been ordinary in that department for a few years now.
And to those w*nkers like foreversloppymouth, I dont have any kid who missed out or should be there etc.
I just want the best kids there, doing their best and sticking it up those Sydney *****.
Wondering if NEFA starts taking some players in the NPL age brackets in the future and starting their own club.
Was hoping for a better crew to lead the kids. I was wrong.

I watched some games last year as they struggled, they turned it around in the 2nd half of the season when they adopting long balls completely cutting out their midfield, who then just became "scrappers", and relying on the speed of their forwards.
It wasn't pretty (or even good football, in my little opinion), but it got results...won't be long until they go back to that I say
If they want to improve though, they really ought to start with not having parents associated with the coaching ranks.
Whole region to select kids from and we're currently 2nd last...just doesn't seem right to me
Yes not having assigned dedicated coaches is a slight issue. But the biggest one is its all selected politically on who you are and who you know, and not on football abilities. And this is from someone who's kid is in the program. Until the teams are picked via that criteria they'll never progress to the top.
I can see how that would be a problem...
I watched a game a couple of years ago against WSW...CB went off and was replaced by I guess an attacking midfielder, that midfielder then shipped 6 goals through no positional discipline (they literally just kept running right through, assing into the line where he was meant to be)...at 6-0 down he scored a great goal from just into the opponents half...and they gave him player of the match...I couldn't believe it.
But politics probably explains that choice now that you mention it.
And by no means do I mean that all players are like this, the majority are there on merit, but as we know the team is only as strong as there weakest link. And at this level teams can't afford to hide or carry a player not at the level needed. When kids are picked for reasons beyond football/team needs. That team will always struggle up against better opponents
Par the course for all academies.
Agree. I think there is a place for direct play as well. Especially if theyre going to stay in AUS.
I see so many who lose the ball trying to be heroes or pass to the opposition and not get corrected does my head in.
Theyre basically playing for the other team. Then they get rewarded each year and wonder why we're 2nd last.
An issue when the coaches selecting the team have private academies and pick those players regardless of ability.
Bigger issue when that said coach wants to keep the numbers doing to be more exclusive and higher standard, yets just say he has to pick more to get more money in the door
Personal opinion, I don't see anything of value in long ball play, especially in academy kids who are the "best", and continuing to develop toward "serious" footballers.
The target of the academy ought to be developing modern, quality and capable footballers
If kids there can't string a number of passes together, should they be there...and if they aren't capable of developing those skills in the kids, is the academy even worth the effort of the kids and families?
Sad irony is, the club could fund themselves by proper effort into the kids of the region
Truthbombs to an extent. Go to warners Bay to fill the pockets of coucous and youll be fine.
I honestly hope all the local kids smash it. Do well. Go on to big things.
Another rough day for the academy
19 goals against, 3 for...zero points
They should take heart though, looking at their opponents (Apia). Just 2 seasons ago, they were nearly relegated (finishing 14th...last year 4th if I recall)
Means it's never too late to start running things better and turn things around...even if they do struggle throughout this season.
You do not have to win to become a good footballer
wow, we all knew that can happen BUT if you knew whats going on this is not the case at this time. All the above is accurate.
Our lads are better than this.
