Yep. No chance in an appeal (against the deregistration) I would think.

Looks like the informer has ran out of good things to say about clubs the story that written about the Two Wells footy club couldn't be any further from the truth as we always give our colts the opportunity to play at the highest level.

totally agree,first thing I said when reading it,was thinking they might have been thinking of Nic secca

Has played A grade this year.

I know for a fact Nik wanted out of Two Wells mid June and was seeking a clearance before the June 30 cutoff as he wasnt getting enough opportunity in the A's, I rate the kid and if i was coaching again he would be playing A's every week Two Wells will want to be careful or you will loose a good talent and the future of your club if he hasnt been disillusioned already by not getting more A grade games this year

Are you from Two Wells Freaky ? Because you seem to no so much about us but I tell you that this is absolute crap.

[Freaky Tah]

i know it as FACT because the kid contacted me asking if i knew of any clubs wanting a -1 point U17 player and had the club that i had lined up for him been a bit more pro-active they would have got Nik to offset that clubs recent BIG 3 point signing, time will tell if the kid remains at Two Wells

[Hazbeen]

Anyone else heard talk of Freeling wanting out of the Barossa comp?

So he thinks he can just walk into an A grade team? Bugs always gives a kid a chance if he deserves it. Just can't expect to play A grade when your not out of colts yet

I hate to do it but I have to agree with MH here.
I talk to nick often and he seems to be pretty content with two wells, the kid will get his shot and be even more determined to prove himself when he does.
I think you work your way into a team, even a talented player which nick is.
A grade is quiet a big step up from 17's, and I'm a believer of proving yourself. Nick has had 2 games this year I think in the A's and held himself I thought pretty well but a under 17 player can't expect to be picked over a guy who has fought his way into the side.

Would eliminate the bye, evryone seemed up for that in the Angle Vale/Other Country Area discussion.
What would a fixture look like, play everyone twice and 2 teams 3 times, or without having a bye, try and play everyone 3 times?

unlike angle vale,freling have everything in place regarding junior teams/netball,though in saying that our juniors are u/14,u/17 where BLG are u15/u17half,

This is a really hard one to get right...
Firstly, NO KID should think he deserves an A Grade game, they have to be earnt.
With that said there are two ways to look at it

1) as Kcco said, wait your turn, form has to warrant pushing someone out of the spot. The risk with that is, what if a good kid has waited his time, doesnt get the opportunity he wants, and a club from a neighbouring league offer him $100 and the promise of an A Grade game, Kid gone! (and his mates). And what if the bloke keeping him out of that spot never improves, he is the 19-21 player picked every week, solid without being great, the result wouldn't change whether he played or not.

2) The kid plays, even both Colts and A's, plays Colts in the morning then starts on the bench in the A's. His output is potentially as good as a player picked 19-21, but what it also does is creates a culture that keeps talented footballers at your club. The player who misses for him still may get games due to other injuries etc, but at the end of the day, the long term future of the club should be considered before that of and average (with all due respect) player.

I'm not saying either is the right choice, I'm not condoning clubs poaching kids for $ (but it happens so you have to face it as a problem), it also depends on the good old premiership window, when does immediate success become more important than long term future???

All I know is that no kid should be trying to hold a club to ransom for an A grade game!

[Hazbeen]

Charlie Arbon, 4 goals on debut for Balak as a 15 year old. Who stood him Ace?

[Woofa]

An U17 with real talent trumps players 17 - 21 in the A grade i wouldve thought!! Isnt that why the bench went from 2-3? Seems to me there must have been another reason they held him back maybe?

How is this getting so much attention. I'm pretty sure bugs knows how to coach and maybe the reason he's not in 21 is the fact that's there's 21 guys ahead of him that deserve a spot. If everyone is that concerned ring up Bugs and ask him.

This would be great for the league! Gets rid of bye but more importantly adds another team to a 7 team league. What im getting at is im really concerned about Hamley. I hope im proven to be wrong but i honestly think that they cant sustain this sort of player budget for more than one or two seasons. It worries me that they may be spending beyond there means for a flag (that i fear they wont get this yr anyway). This will then leave them in a predicament as they were from 2004 to 2011 but this time they may not come out of it. Im not a hamley hater, just concerned that we cant afford to have a team fall over in coming years.
However freeling would fit straight in & be the best thing for this league in a long time. What r thoughts on there competitiveness?

[mighty hounds]

So what are peoples thoughts on Freeling coming into the league? I'm still 50/50. Would people think that they would be too strong for the APFL. It could give Hamley a rival?

[Lame Choice]

When our U17 association played YP, we were completely smashed at the contests (marking, tackling, stoppages etc.). I enquired about some of the YP talent and was told that there were five or six lads who played regular A grade, a couple of kids holding down CHF, CHB etc positions. APFL didn't have one player in that team that played regular A grade. Some of our 'guns', didn't know how to compete against an equal.

I think if they are physically ready and have the talent, the clubs need to look beyond the week ahead and play them. If we wait until 'they prove themselves', they'll drift off. I see at least 6 kids across the league who should be playing senior football every week and they would be better players for it.
