Surely Southy wouldn't have wanted him in the first place?
Pretty big jump from 19's to 1st grade. What do you think of Greg's ability to get players to the club considering he wouldn't had much time to build relationships with 1st grade players from around the competition, since he is making the jump from 19's to the top tier?
Great vision by the South cardiff I hope it works out well for the Gunners as they are clearly thinking ahead here. I also hope that Greg gets the time sometimes needed to develop his own ideas etc as he is a smashing coach.
Interesting times at Magic as well.... Please stay away from our coaching staff at Adamstown as we will be gutted if they get snapped up before they get a chance to take Adamstown in the NBN on further still develop the buds at the top level again .. where we belong :-)
A more than valid point.
In slightly different direction. What happens to players who have a falling out with a club, or wish to leave a club for whatever reason good or bad. With the 8 points incurred with a player transferring and with most clubs operating at the threshold of 200-250 points. How are players expected to move?
I see this possible points system promoting youth but getting rid of players that are high quality players to lower leagues thanks to to the system not being able to cater for them.
Players learn as much or more from their peers. Having the possibility of good players leaving the competition prematurely is that in the best interest for youth development?
I think it's a great appointment. Greg knows the players at the club and the culture so he will simply build on that. Well done to Southy for looking within.
Has anyone heard who is in line to coach Magic next year?
And the herald were only speculating today also
I don't think anyone can deny Southy are a very loyal club. Try to promote from within whenever feasible.
Will be interesting to see how he goes as a head coach. Probably made some good connections when he was playing, did a good job with the U/19s at Southy a few years ago, Magic 23s assistant for half the year last year, before returning to Southy.
Good bloke, gets along well with players, really good balance between hard work and "fun". Promotes an enjoyable atmosphere which I believe leads to happier players.
Good on him and Southy.
If these players are quality they will get picked up anyway. If they ain't quality they won't and will filter down to new FM ZPL where they belong.
You make a point about high quality players having a falling out now lets just speculate say a (Peter Haynes or a Scott Petit or a Johnny Maj as examples of high quality players at this level in my eyes) had a falling out at their club and wanted to go else where don't you think that 90% of NBN clubs wouldn't move heaven and earth to sign them??
I think you have very little idea of this system and don't understand it.
Clubs can still sign players if they want them. They just won't be able to sign 8-12 top quality ones each year as some clubs have done in the past
I think you are looking at it from purely a Jets supporters perspective and not a local football supporter. I've tried to sit back and look at this from both views and I must say that in the future that it looks to be very restrictive on clubs. You are a very passionate Jets supporter who (from your posts) has little to no time for the local game or respect for local clubs and I feel this has clouded your opinion on this area.
I see what your saying. i didn't for it to come across that players couldn't move.
Lets put it this way. Peter Haynes well established player in the comp, would be a good mentor considering he works for Northern, hence he should be doing all he can to develop young players.
Hypothetically he has falling out with his club in game 3 of the season. So clubs have allocated their points and are at or near the 200-250 point (depending on the year). So for a club to want to sign Peter they would have to remove probably 1 to 2 player at least to make room for Peter in their point allocation.
Now who would a team remove to make room for Peter? a young player or two who hasn't got any record in 1st grade or someone that who is a proven fringe player that can do well when needed throughout the season? Now this question can taken in many different ways. But when it comes down to it, do people pick youth which could cost results, or do they pick results? Now i am aware that that the quality of the youth players and fringe players have to be taken into account to make a decision.
But on face value you mention that teams would move heaven and earth to sign a player like him. Possibly meaning that they would pick the proven fringe player over youth, which you can blame someone for making that decision. But This contradicts the overall purpose of the points system.
P.S KB was poo in the second half against Edgy on the weekend. Though he could of had a hatty.
