6-5 = 5=5. FFA and FNSW mathematics again. tarzan, Didn't the Socceroos flog some poor island country by 5000 to 0 a few years ago ? Then the national body added the goals onto the players records. Didn't someone score 7 or more ? Maybe Thompson ? That counted ! Yes, Solomon Islands but cant recall them agreeing the score was 5-1??

Competition in all walks of life makes people get the best out of themselves. In sport results/performance matter whether some like it or not. The better players are better players for a reason the cream will always (without rubbish politics) rise to the top. Those that cant handle a certain level will play a lower level. Thats how you get the best.

thommo,
That was the case when I was a youngster playing sport. Then, the "feel good" brigade got involved with sport and when little Johnny or Joanna weren't good enough they decided to hold back the better kids or hand out winner trophies to everybody so not to hurt the feelings of the other children. These people don't have a grasp of reality in their bones and believe that this will somehow help the kids. Lets hope it doesn't make it's way into the schools. Here is an award for being Dux of your school AND here's an award for being the Dux of the bottom 10%. Brilliant.

I would nave missed out on both. Now, if the award was for Dux at the bottom, I may have gotten something. Hang on, I did get something. I got the rounds of the kitchen from my parents and it actually motivated me.

Look forward to being enlightened. Perhaps you're not referring to youth league....but your u7s local club? If that's the case the comment has no relevance to the forum or any discussion related to elite football. Be careful not to dumb things down too much by dragging out the same old nonsense - the Pauline Hanson/Donald Trump approach.

tarzan,
Obviously you believe you're from the top half of the class. Well I'm the Dux of the bottom half and I can't explain it any better than I have. I don't have to enlighten you on anything as what I have written does occur in a lot of associations and the reason I mentioned it is before any child gets to an "Elite" level they have to play association football first.
By the way, "Elite" is the most over used word in our game. Next is "Academy" which is used instead of "Extra training at a cost".

Corruption in the youth developments... start's from the directors all the way to the coaches.... eg WSW. why don't they call them selves WSC. ? Ask a simple question how many kids from wanderers have Serbian background? Not one.why? ? Because thr not wanted..... all i hear is the same from everyone but to scared to talk up because the kids will b targeted... it needs to stop we live in Sydney not Croatia..... now u know wat the C means............... il b back.

Believe criteria will be the same or similar possible 14 Team Comps - Tarot Card reader confirmed that as well , so it must be true
