National Youth League Fixtures and Mariners youth team discussion

[adz]

A lot of yoof missing out on the expeirence gain by playing!

But at the same time keeping senior team players that don't make the first team fit in case they are needed... I'd rather it this way and if there is an injury/suspension when we want someone to fill in it's not just the youth that is ready to go. Probably not exactly what the youth league was designed for but if it can be used that way, why not

I think you can only select 4 or 5 seniors in the youth league team anyway...

CCMFC playing it much as a reserve grade compared to some, but must use any youth on the bench must come on at about 60mins, so they get 1/2 hour playing time.

+1

the youth players likely to go on to first team football will be playing anyway

 

[Kareem]

+ 2

not to mention the possibility of the older guys playing a hand in developing the younger players (experienced heads on the field etc.)

+3 and we have a better chance of winning the thing

 

[Forum Phoenix]

+ 4 for all those points.

It has spots for OA players for just this reason.
Silly not to utilise it.

 

[Arabmariner]

Be nice on these football free (club) weekends when Tuggerah COE is up and running to be able to nip up there and watch yoof games.

 

[Marquee]

Nice 3-1 win for the lads against meow.

Mrdja, Panni (this kid doesn't stop scoring) and Fitzgerald.

I really hope Panni can step up next season into the first team, he is just a gun player for the youth side

 

[FFC Mariner]

I'm quietly confident we will see him around the 1st team by the end of this season

 

[Sean]

Fitzgerald really could be a solution in the future if we're struggling to score goals. the kid is a gun.

 

[FFC Mariner]

Isnt he ever..........like to see at least 1 of the possibles on the bench sometime. Few minutes at the end of games would ease them in nicely

Sherlock
Nikas
Fitzgerald
Brady

 

[elevated position]

Fine choices and the rotational nature of the squad set by Walmsley will lead to the developement of more players like Mallia, Griffin .etc If we keep hold of these players we will be able to sack the scouts soon.

Prediction.  Walmsley to replace Lawrie when he calls time.

 

[FFC Mariner]

The most under rated coach in Aus is probably Jeff Hopkins the coach of the Roar's W League side.

Will be a very good appointment for someone.

Played at a high level too so wont take shit from players

 

[Marquee]

Prediction.  Walmsley to replace Lawrie when he calls time.

+ 1. Have often thought this myself. He's assembled a great squad and is running them well. I don't think its a coincidence that he is on the first team bench, he knows what he is doing.
