National Youth League Fixtures and Mariners youth team discussion

3-2 win. Missed penalty as well

Will Paull, Di Pizio and Kasalovic join the squad after the end of the ALM season?

Paull should but probably won’t as seen as a first teamer. Would get good development as the young guys need a better influence and he needs games

Di Pizio shouldn’t and is he even staying at CCM? But definitely a first teamer who shouldn’t be going back

Kasalovic just seems a mystery. Never makes match day squads but seems the academy want to go young so unlikely

 

[priorpeter]

Also, all 3 of those boys will be required to take 4 weeks annual leave at some point after the grand final, which makes an appearance in the NPL even more unlikely.

[true believer]

come'on you yellows

 

[marinermick]

come'on you yellows

Ouch

 

[priorpeter]

Yeah that was very, very, very very very bad. Naive is probably the kindest word I can use.

 

[Spacks]

So our NPL team isn't doing well in NPL 1?

 

[Wombat]

Back 5 needs alot of work.

 

[Ironbark]

This squad is all quite young yeah?
Was never convinced by that decision. The academy is our key production line, throwing them to the sharks (or the wolves actually) isn't going to support the development pathway

Yeah basically playing to 20’s squads from my understanding.

I think it does improve them as need to learn physicality and your time to react is improved by the best players anyway and that’s what we are looking for.

I would prefer a few 21 22 year olds to
Steer the best young ones around but there must be a reason for it

Counting on the the NST to decimate the rest of NPL1 next year and the young boys will have a year of experience?

Average age of our NPL squad is about 18yrs. A huge task to compete week in week out. I agree that keeping a bit of experience in the squad would probably help development overall.

[JoyfulPenguin]

Stream not working for the Academy game?

EDIT: Washed out apparently.

 

[JoyfulPenguin]

Bit disappointing to have no one make the Young Socceroos squad, though I suppose at least Bailey Brandtman would have been in the running if he wasn't involved with the senior team at the moment.

We usually have one or two as the big names from the big clubs get these spots but not always the best players in a few years

 

[Ozhammer]

Anyone from clubs involved in finals football weren’t selected

Zach De Jesus from Sydney, Josh Inserra from Victory and Linus Bourke from Victory were I think it's weasel words in a press release.

Bar Brandtman any of our Academy lads could have been selected.

 

[Rising Sun]

Despite all the number of players we have brought through the Academy in recent years, you would think we have the worst Academy in the country based on junior NT selections. The only way a Mariner seems to get selected is if they are already killing it in first grade like the Kuols, or they were already established in the NTs when they joined the Mariners like Di Pizio. The only exceptions I can think of are Max Middleby - and I am pretty sure that his dad's senior role at the FA may have helped - and Brandtman.

3 of the best players in the A League - Nizzy, Maxi and Dan - didn't manage a singly junior NT appearance selection between them as they came through the Academy. Faz got selected for Olyroos once he was killing it in first grade. Tappy and Harry got nothing either

No one rates us etc etc
