Val Migliaccio, Soccer Writer, The Advertiser THE Australian soccer players’ union report has savaged the A-League’s lack of faith in young players but Adelaide United is bucking the trend. Players under 21 made up less than 10 per cent of the total games played last season which is worrying. But Adelaide last season had eight players under 21 — headlined by Ben Garuccio — who played in Guillermo Amor’s campaign. Reds chairman Greg Griffin says Adelaide is deliberately focusing on youth and improving its scouting network with plans of being a key gateway club. The Reds plucked Riley McGree and Jordan O’Doherty from outside of Football Federation SA’s pathways program. And Griffin said United’s new coach Marco Kurz was continuing to keep faith in young players. Kurz is demanding young players — and his senior men — train harder and more frequently than they have been in the past. The German has called for at least three daily double sessions a week in a bid to get his players up to the higher demands of European soccer should any of his stock be given a chance. “If young players get to go to Europe they’ll be ready to meet the very high demands,’’ said the former German Bundesliga 1 and 2 coach and 299 games veteran. “We do have good young talent. Aan example is Pacifique Niyongabire who was given a chance in the NPL team after he trialled last year,’’ Griffin said. “We’ve also had trials in June for a squad of 16 under-16 players for the Zibo Birthplace Cup in October in China where we will play clubs like Atletico Madrid, Arsenal and the Chinese national team. It’s paid for and it’s another wonderful opportunity to see if these young players can take the next step.” Professional Footballers Australia 2016/17 A-League on Monday released its report which showed Garuccio made 27 appearances, the most amount of games for a young A-League player. Socceroo McGree, 18, played 17 games for Adelaide before signing for Belgium’s Club Brugge last month and 19-year-old O’Doherty also played 17 Reds games. Brisbane Roar led the youth stakes with nine players under 21. Sydney FC was the worst performer with just three players. Adelaide last season also gave valuable game time to Mark Ochieng, 20, gloveman Daniel Margush, 19, current triallist Marc Marino, 21, and former Red George Mells, 20. The quartet played 24 games collectively.

The German press gave their confederation team no hope because it was made up of youngsters and had no regular national players - look what they did! So German coach pushing AU's youngsters and Griffen's tight purse strings AU may do some real damage this year, so we'll have to wait. At least we don't have any "captain ego's" like that Spanish striker bloke who was hopeless.

Hypothetical:
If you were a Mariners fan wanting to go to the football because you live in Adelaide now, would you wear:
a) Mariners jersey because you're hard
b) Adelaide jersey to fit in
c) Neutral clothing and feel a bit soft
(Adelaide v CCM games aside of course)

A or C mood dependent. You're not exactly gonna get started on by punk kids for wearing a mariners jersey so represent I say. I'm too fat lately for any of my United gear besides a scarf anyway so its generally C for me aha

Adelaide fans are pretty laid back, you will get a few wannabees try to start things against victory, but most are willing to share a joke or discussion with opposing fans.

I say do it, option A.
