2025 Jets Academies

[Addios]

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.

Another dismal fortnight. Any thoughts about not being up to scratch is clearly vindicated. Having coaching "badges" isnt all they cracked up to be. Letting our boys down

I am aware of some ongoing, unpleasant occurances at the club...so decided to give them a bit of a break from comments about them.

But, I did go and watch 2 1/2 games vs St George the other week...I am surprised how they distributed player of the match awards after the fact.

Positional awareness and discipline aren't where they ought to be (but of ball watching too)...they can, and should be much better

So, Jets are now n last place following a 15pt club deduction (youth league)

They had managed to get to 13th earlier in the week before this

So with season not looking very promising even before this, relegation must be feeling a real threat and I wonder how the players (parents) will handle a potential drop

(Will the club even just decide to come back to local football...our local system is obviously improving over the last couple of years...could be an attractive for them)

All for a club administrative misdemeanour 2 seasons ago.

Pretty harsh on the academy players and their parents and families considering the club also copped a fine and every team is deducted 3 points from their respective league tables.

What was the administrative misdemeanour?

[WOW2.0]

What was the administrative misdemeanour?

Not sure if misdemeanor is the right word, according to the statement I saw, they failed in their legal obligations to provide audited accounts (proving their solvency, etc - at least of the youth program). (It notes they did rovide this 2 months after the due date in August)

FNSW was probably fined, and they likely passed along the fine. Obviously solvency is a big thing in our game giving it's position and history.

Whether the points are justified, I suppose it depends on their governing body to decide. FNSW must have thought it appropriate because the appeal apparently didn't go anywhere either.

I tried briefly (and lazily) to search news from FNSW side, but couldn't see anything

Yes. Feel for the players and parents. The arrogant idiots running the academy recently have shown they have little idea.

Good reaction from the boy?s teams today - 3 wins and 2 draws down in Wollongong - 10 of those points returned.

[Addios]

Good to see improved results.
But the actions from some players to get themselves suspended or cut from a younger squad is disgraceful and very disappointing.
This behaviour also comes from a lack of positive club culture and poor coaching behaviour instruction regardless.
Also when a coach has his son as captain is most questionable and another failing in this space to go with the other incompence from recent weeks.
I hope to get some new integrity back in the Academy sooner rather than later.
There a plenty of top class coaches in this city both high ex players and/or coaching

So results from Jets girls Vs WSW Academy
1st 5-0 Loss
23?s 3-0 Loss
18?s 8-0 Loss
16?s 3-3 Draw
15?s 1-0 Loss
14?s 5-1 Loss

WSW 1st grade we?re on a run of 4 losses in a row and Jets 1st grade have now conceded 20 goals in their last 4 games scoring 1, currently last. Something needs to change. Whilst they couldn?t get relegated it was claimed they were focused on players development as they were playing up an age group but would easily compete in their own age groups. Now they are playing In There own age groups where did the development go why are they not competing in their own age groups?

Should a professional club legitimately have any parents involved in coaching at all is a values question that should be answered, really

Anyway, they had a good weekend, and that will hopefully save them from the relegation zone they've sat in for weeks (since the point deduction)

Nope. There's strange things happening there.

I think theyll stay up comfortably. Although they only got 1 pt v Hills on the weekend, the talent of the players will outshine the dodgy coaches and inept admin.

be careful. Believing the lip service has long been a myth. Pay the local private "talent coaches" is the "development". Many a top player in the local leagues.
