Re: Has the standard of U18's gone backwards
Given we lack huge amounts of depth at the club, i think for the foreseeable we will always welcome back players to the club - im talking about the ones who were long serving juniors etc. I for one would openly welcome back the likes of Daniel Pritchard, Elvis Kamsoba etc. My honest opinion is that ...

Re: FFSA take aim at EDJSA
Oh yes and FFSA wanted $700 per E & D team competing...... and we all thought the FFSA were doing it out of their love for the game An entry cost of $700 for an E&D select team of 15 players would be less than $50 each. At a guess that money might go towards covering player insurance, groun...

Re: Has the standard of U18's gone backwards
What about a similar scenario for the player that stays with the club, does the hard yards and shows commitment & passion for the club. Shouldn't he/she be given opportunities? Regardless that he is being age discriminated at 17-18? :wink:[/quote] haha. he was only gone for 12 rounds ;) Given we...

Re: Has the standard of U18's gone backwards
Matty, I would be surprised if you have any 14 year olds in your U18 squad .. if so you shoulder check their birth certificates .. Anyway no real issue with this if the player is exceptional but should be an exception to the rule. IMO top tier U15's is generally still a good level for this age grou...

Re: Has the standard of U18's gone backwards
Depends upon what you are comparing it too ? U19's was better , however dropping to U18's and PPS has forced clubs to promote younger talent , possibly too early ! Reality is that Ressies. Is now an U19's with a few overage players. Teams are pushing players to Ressies too early , meaning the 1st t...

Re: Has the standard of U18's gone backwards
Speak to most senior players and ask them how old they were when they played U18, Reserve or senior football. I myself was in SASI at 14 playing U23s and seniors at 15/16. Most top end players will be entering senior football at 16/17. Not entering U18 football at 17.[/quote] speak to most senior pl...

Re: Has the standard of U18's gone backwards
Heres a bold statement: The standard of the U18s has NEVER been good. Any decent 16/17 year old will have progressed into reserve football, with the top end already finding themselves in the first team. This leaves two types of under 18s teams: TEAM A: All the 17 year old kids who weren't good enou...

Re: Has the standard of U18's gone backwards
In a couple years, it'll all change again. 19's will be bought back, and another full crop of kids will be delusional. Parents peed off, life goes on.

Re: 'Modernise or perish'
The reasoning behind the 4-3-3 philosophy is not about the formation per se. It's all about the development of the individual at junior/youth level. It's the best formation to help develop technically gifted 'attacking' players. Most coaches should be aware that's it's easier to teach players/teams...
