Spot on Sherlock. I've said this in previous threads. We need specialist youth coaches. i've had the privilege and luck to play youth football overseas and all the coaches in the youth teams were specialists. Even the first team coach would not get involved with how we were coached other than keeping tabs on younger kids ready to make the step up. I distinctly remember a well known successful former first team coach applying for a job in club youth ranks and was rejected on the basis of inexperience at youth level. Again the biggest difference with the club i was at was that they rely on selling young talent to Europe to stay afloat so they need Coaches who can develop kids quickly and successfully So Obiwan, Why can't one change what ones sees? Or does money affect what one does and forces them not to change what they do? A reply to this post one expects.

I like what you did there Sherlock.
Not sure why more influential people make the changes in FFA. From what I originally posted, money is a driving factor only due to the fact that the club i was at needs to stay afloat some how and gate revenue alone does not cut it. As for our local talent situation, I see ego obstructs development at an elite level. I believe we did need a curriculum as a starting point and build from that through the many different lenses of those qualified to do so.
Specialist coaches at all levels are required to bring the best out of our kids and transition them to seniors. The often tried and failed experiment of ex internationals with no youth coaching pedigree has to end now! I can only imagine that if I went to Sth america and offered the best youth coaches in any of their clubs an attractive remuneration package ( which would most likely double what they currently get) they would be here overlooking our program immediately. Again just my two bob.
At least Gombeau is involved now and to me is a step in the right direction. i'm tired of seeing local tlent having to ply and learn their trade overseas at young ages due to our systemic failures here.

After his disasters with the U19s I think this shows Tony Vidmar is not a development coach.
As for comments about money, as in other spheres of life, "money talks".
As a result it could be argued that some young players backed by money do very well through the unofficial (parents paying for camps, academies, private coaching) and the official system.
Many, many stories on this but the 'best' is the one about the well known coach who when moved down to state level used to check out parents cars in the car park during trials as a way of working out who to select!

Hi all, this caught my eye and something that interests.
In general our system is flawed, there are a lot of things that we need.
First, we should try and keep the good coaches with better remuneration, stop them from leaving the system and coaching somewhere else. This may then produce better players.

Hi all.just a perpesctive from over west.development over here is non existent.we have one professional club which is ran worse than Majority of Npl clubs.joe bloggs could get a gig coaching at glory as no decent coach would go near it as paid peanuts.its got to the point where kids leave to go back to Npl clubs dissilusioned at lack of pathway to professional football.we have 3 lads involved with this joeys side all picked after Ntc challenge in Canberra although 2 of them were amongst our worst performers.i also believe many players originally picked for ais turned their place down to stay with their clubs in Sydney and Melbourne.this obviously has led to a weakened ais squad and also begs the question do we really need an ais for football?surely th a league clubs should be in control of junior development.as unfortunate as that would be for the kids over here
