no, its the opposite. gumps wont push anyone bar porter and maybe bru for a spot in the squad, oz will always get picked over him, he wont play youth unless coming back from injury.

gumps on the other hand might be player of the year..... for the youth team ;)

thank god you are not coaching the team or we will probably be dead last every season

it is obvious that lawrie sees ossie (and gumpy) in a different light to you and there is no way ossie will play NYL

Can't wait to tell you, "I told you so" assuming ossie can make the NYL squad haha

I seem to remember not that long ago a similar stance of yours like this which ended in embarrassment for yourself. Good to see you get back on the horse :eek:verhead:

Ossie is the new kwassie... I just hope he doesn't play as much

Good grief?? Did you watch him last season at all?? Until his injury, he was fantastic for us. Mr Versatile with a high work rate.

ps - Wanna guess who our all time top goal scorer is??

I am refering to the amount of turn overs during his 3 games this season has rendered me to utter the words FFS "ossie" on countless occasions, replacing the words FFS "kwassie"

Eight more added to Mariners� NYL charge

Following the landmark signings of Nathan Sherlock and Brady Smith as the
Central Coast Mariners� first ever National Youth League (NYL) recruits, the
yellow and navy have today added a further eight players to their inaugural
NYL charge.

Headlining the latest contingent of talents that will spearhead the
Mariners� first ever NYL tilt is Qantas Young Socceroo Glen Trifiro, who has
most recently starred for the Macarthur Rams in the NSW Premier League,
highly rated striker Darko Vidovic who is a relation of senior Mariners
squad member Mile Jedinak, and exciting Manly United talent Scott Wright.

Joining the aforementioned three is Nick Kapsis and Matthew Lewis, who were
regulars with Blacktown City in the NSW Premier League this season, along
with fellow NSW Premier League starlet Sean Mitchell of the Marconi
Stallions.

AIS graduates Laurence Braude and Steven Tibbetts, who were each cornerstone
members of the AIS� recently completed Victorian Premier League campaign,
complete the latest installment of Mariners NYL players.

"As we�ve maintained throughout the process of putting this squad together,
our emphasis is on developing players that we hope and expect will progress
to the Hyundai A-League and to future successes with the Mariners and these
eight players are ones that we believe have what it takes to make that
step," said Mariners Development Manager Alex Tobin.

"It hasn�t been an easy process and we have the capacity to add a further
two players to our squad, but today�s announcement is the culmination of
months and months of scouting, trialling and re-trialling before finally
settling on players that we believe will best represent the Mariners and the
goals that we as a club have set for the National Youth League."

Trifiro, 19, was a team-mate of senior Mariners squad member Andrew Redmayne
for Australia�s Asian Under-19 Championships qualification triumph in
November of last year, where Australia downed Guam, Indonesia and Vietnam to
secure their berth at this years Championships in Saudi Arabia, with Trifiro
netting a brace against Guam.

Previously, Trifiro was a member of the Australian Schoolboys� 2006 tour of
New Zealand and the South Pacific, before being joined by new team-mates
Mitchell and Sherlock for a 2007 tour of the United Kingdom and Ireland.

Vidovic, an Australian citizen born in Bosnia & Herzegovina, is connected to
Qantas Socceroo and season three Mariners Medallist Jedinak through his
sister Ivona, who married Mile�s brother Matt last month.

Mitchell was a fringe member of the Marconi Stallions� recently completed
NSW Premier League campaign, while NSW Premier League counterparts Kapsis
and Lewis have been in electric form for Blacktown City, with Lewis in
particular producing a standout showing against Sydney FC in a trial match
at the Fairfax Community Stadium last month.

Braude, a lightning quick attacking midfielder, found the back of the net
twice for the AIS in Victoria�s top flight competition this season alongside
defensive ever present Tibbetts, the former of which has experience with
Australian youth teams.

Today�s announcement of the second wave of Mariners� NYL recruits brings
total number of Mariners NYL squad members to ten, with Mariners Development
Manager Tobin potentially able to introduce a further two players to the
Mariners� historic first ever NYL line up.

"There are some real finds amongst this group already and, beyond the
results that I�m certain we�ll achieve on the pitch, the football
development of these players will be accelerated considerably by the
environment that they will soon be introduced to at the Mariners," said
Tobin.

"Each player that we have recruited to date has the potential to become a
first team player at the Mariners and to make a career as a professional
footballer and I know that each of them are eager to formally begin this
very exciting initiative for the development of football in Australia, as am
I and everyone at the Mariners and, indeed, everyone involved in Australian
football in general."

Looks like the place to be if you want/need to be noticed is the Premier League...so much for lightning. Even Brody was only with them for the one season.

Not bagging Lightning, just that we have a long way to go to get our best juniors week in week out in contention. No wonder they train in Sydney....makes sense.

So we get sydneys rejects??

Best kids in sydney will always wanna play for FC

sydney = 5 million people
central coast = 300000 people

so:
1. you make an assumption that the best players will go to sydney despite the mariners having better scouts and community links in sydney than sydney
2. your also assume that sydney is the preferred club for people in the west and north west when this may not be true
2. given sydney's population there are probably 30 better players in sydney than the central coast
