Hope they have around $150k and the rest to cover all the costs.

It's an oxymoron - you have been warned.

interesting that the winner from this tournament now must play the winner of the Asian leg to go on to England for the tournament. i believe the Aus/NZ winner went straight to England in previous tournaments

1/ How is it going ?
2/ Is it going in the direction they want ?
3/ Is it showing any signs of player going to AU , JOEYS etc ?
4/Is FFSA analizing the progress ?

have you been living under a rock for the last year or two?

IMO, 14 years old is far too early to play u19s, 15 years old probably still too young except for the exceptional talented players skill wise and physical wise I long for the old days where the players had to earn the right to play at a higher level that was based on talent and committment rather t...

maybe they can set up "kiss and run" zones - like some schools have done.

did they have a stall selling compasses you would have made a killing

so who's the Chris Skull who was on the list already

Received the Draft of the Junior Leagues two days ago & was confronted by Skillaroos Boys in the 14A league. Had I missed some corrrespondence from the FFSA over summer introducing/explaining to the clubs who this new team/club/organisation is. Typically the clubs have been left in the dark. So...

lack of foresight by both clubs really. what a conflict of interest

Looks like you are going to have a real strong side next year, i reckon you are favourites to take the league out ! going to be fireworks when you play CCSC.... Wots happening with the 3 stars who play up? Dont reckon you need them to drop down to the 14's :?: Adelaide city are not going to be happ...

Allrise, my opinion is that too much opinion on performances are based on the score and who wins :wink: I believe what we are looking for is players who can play and they might not be in a winning team, so I cant comment on the state teams game without seeing the games myself :D thank you Nova, a w...

Yes it will benifet those kids that are selected, but I think this is the FFA's way of saying clubs are not technically developing these young kids well enough themselves :wink: Nova, so who do you think is to blame for the 14s and 15s not so good performances at the Nationals? the FFSA or the Club...

Tony Vidmar was coach of the 15s. One of the parents told me he was in the selector's box on a regular basis between games. So 5 of his players get selected. Same thing apparently happened with his institute team at the start of the year. SASI finished 2nd but received extra bonus points to move th...

birbas, yeah, quality player but not selected this year, not even a reserves spot. interesting as both him and trimboli have been overlooked this year incredible really how these 2 were overlooked... i coached these 2 in the 19s this year... Michael had a exceptional year and often played in differ...

FFSA probably waiting for all the parents to pay up then they'll post something

our victorian counterparts are still finalising their final squad. what I've heard is the group that's training now, 20 or so of them get to stay with the final squad once its announced and get to train one night a week with MV. not bad hey!! hello FFSA/AU...... :idea: why the hell would you wanna ...

hello FFSA/AU......

I have seen a few coaches whilst coaching myself but now that I have moved to Melbourne I get the experience of seeing other coaches sessions & how they operate. A majority of this time is spent at Bulleen but I would like to add if anyone has a chance to come over please come & see this Bu...

Drago, Drago, just because he poaches all the talented kids and puts them into one side,we can all do that. Try to develope a team sometimes that you are dealt. Spot on ! The best junior coaches I've seen have taken less talented kids at the begining of the season and developed them into players th...

enough about Drago.......my kid's going to do some off season training with him and I can already hear the price going up!!

might also put into perspective CCSC's efforts at the Australian Qualifications in melb earlier this year. the only team they lost to was the Sharks. not bad for a team playing most of the their games after day 1 with no bench thanks to decimating injuries. The Sharks were a very professional unit a...

My wife hase the best a$$ of any coach I know..... does that count? your wife aside, I'd say that guy from CTown who's got the 14a's - he's had this team since the 12's i think and had them playing "bootyfool" football. this year they've dropped a couple but he's still a top junior coach....

Need to look at grass roots junior development as well. Perhaps look a the Spanish system youth system rather than the Dutch centric philosophy that domintates the FFA. I concur. no point spending $6m on the National Coach and end up with players who can't play when they get there. Spend some of th...

What ever happen to fair play ? I witness a disgraceful display yesterday at the U17 ABE v Adelaide City yesterday from the AC linesman. The linesman had no idea of the correct call of offside and this affected the result of the game. 1. AC provided a parent linesman who was incompetent - where is ...

However I do know the linesman. One of the nicest and most honest blokes I know. cheatin...
