National Youth League Fixtures and Mariners youth team discussion

Interesting that smylie is named in the NPL squad...
Don’t get me wrong, love the kid and rate him.
But isn’t he “over age” now?
Good to see Balard and Tsekenis will continue their development also. Rate them highly too.

What is the age limit and when does it kick in. Jordon has just turned 21 but often the age is deemed to be what you were in 1st Jan. Not sure of the rules here.

I believe the age limit for AL academy sides in the NPL is 23.

Yes and No
2. A-League (AL) Academy Clubs
a) To be eligible to participate in a 2021 1st Grade the player must:
i. Be born between 1 January 2000 and 31 December 2005 (inclusive);

So basically it is Under 21 for this year - but you can also

b) An AL Academy Team may register players to their 1st Grade team roster who are older than the eligible age bracket as prescribed in 3.2
a) where the following criteria are satisfied in respect to that player:
i. The player was born between 1 January 1997 and 31 December 1999 (inclusive); and
ii. The player is an Australian Player as defined in the A-League & National Youth League Player Contract Regulations 2020/2021; and
iii. An AL Academy Team are permitted to list a maximum of four (4) players born between 1 January 1998 and 31 December 1999, including one (1) player born between 1 January 1997 and 31 December 1997 on the team sheet in a 1st Grade Match.

You are allowed to register up to 40 players (combined) in your 1st team and 20s roster. We have named 35 so we have the space to bring in 5 eligible A League players who can be registered at any time. Alou Kuol, Matt Hatch, Lewis Miller and Jaden Casella are all within the age limit, whilst Dan Hall,, Josh Nisbet, Kye Rowles and Dan Bouman are all born in either 98 or 99, and Adam Pearce and Danny DeSilva in 97. I'm not sure how they class Gianni Stensness as he has played for NZ but is still eligible for Australia, and Jankovic is 97 but ineligible as a foreign player.

Whether Monty brings in any or all of his allowable A League and overage players will depend on if they are required for the A League, if Staj wants to get them time on the park and if the Academy is not sitting comfortably in one of the Top 4 promotion positions.

Thanks - was trying to find the regs for this year (admittedly didn’t actually look that hard). Had just remembered that the ‘u23’ rule had been relaxed for A-League academy sides for last season.

Just got home. Totally outplayed WSW across the park. I do not know the players but there is some talent there. Lots of movement and enthusiasm. Good start.
U/20s 3-0 as well.
I saw no familiar faces. Need to arrange some meet ups next time.

 

[Ancient Mariner]

If you were judging coaches on today's performance, I am glad we have Monty and WSW has Patrick. WSW looked as though it was the first time they had met each other.

That would be a nice idea

how did hatch and smylie go?

 

[Rising Sun]

how did hatch and smylie go?

Both came off the bench, and by the time they came on we were 3-0 up against a team that were down to 10 men, and were heading, mentally at least, into cruise control mode for the final quarter. So difficult to make a judgement either way.
