Two words for that, salary cap.

Again the aleague clubs dont plan for the longer haul with players, no wonder they miss out on so much money from overseas transfers.

Some clubs do. AU have a bunch of young players on 3 year deals with a view of selling them overseas. 

Funnily enough, the club’s chairman is pro salary cap.

So why dont other clubs dont follow Adelaide's lead then? I dont think they priortise this unlike Adelaide.

Some clubs want to buy success like Victory and Sydney.

Clubs like Wanderers and CCM seem poorly run from the outside.

Cory seem to poach heaps of young players but don’t develop them. It seems like they care more about poaching players rather than developing them.

If the rules change that allows clubs to invest into players and they maybe it might encourage more player development at aleague level.

Would someone McGree would have made it through at a Victory or Sydney as an 17 year old? I doubt that would happen because Victory and Sydney FC are expected to win and not play kids for the sake of it.

Each club has different budgets and priorities too, clearly better parameters are needed to put in place for whatever the clubs want to do.

We got a fee for Isaías .

Cheers for the info.

Hopefully Abetew can impress and break into the first team squad.

I saw a bit of an NPL game a few weeks ago and Smith did look better on the ball than the others in the back four. If he’s half decent, then surely he’d overtake Kitto as our second choice left back soon. Here’s hoping he does.

Clubs can invest in players now and given the financial state of the league, clubs really should be looking at what Adelaide are doing. The cap isn’t stopping them from giving long term contracts to young players because it isn’t stopping us.

I think it has to do with taking such a big risk on what is ultimately an unknown asset (talking about youth players.) Fortunately for Adelaide they are comfortable (or seem to be) confident in the ability of their youngsters/the system that they've given players 2 or 3 year contracts. 

as for Other teams, this is up in the air, whether they are confident in their youth/system.

Good example is SFC, not giving many youngsters long-term contracts, as they prioritise short-term success over long-term successes. However hopefully that mind-set has changed with the obvious, as their players head overseas to very good academies.
Even Melbourne City. The city group saw what happened with Mooy and how profitable that system could be, so they've given some very good Aussie youngsters reasonably good length-ed contracts.

Each team has their own way of implementing youth into the team, I won't say developing youth, but more implementing. At this stage apart from AU, it feels as though youth are just there to fill the void.

Obviously it's all as clear as mud to what these clubs want to achieve and what they are actually striving for. Australian football as a whole just lacks a clear vision.

Spot on.

We signed Joe Gauci on a scholarship contract. That’s the third club he’s signed for yet he hasn’t played a first team game yet. Also we now have two scholarship keepers, the other Ethan Cox is on a three year deal.

Apparently we are on the verge of signing a former Roar midfielder.

The only players I can think of that we’d be looking at are Joe Caletti and Jesse Daley.

Pretty sure jesse Daley was touted for macarthur

Hopefully Caletti, he’s seems a reasonable player who needs a decent environment to thrive.

Any news on Jackson Irvine?

Hibs apparently can't pay his wage. I wish he were more keen to simply get playing. Seems a tough negotiation.

Jesse Daley will sign for Macarthur. 

I'd like see Adelaide sign Jack Duncan.

I have a feeling we’ll sign him.

Sauce?

Caletti is a cracking player , was not happy to see him leave roar  but his last year there he had a broken foot.
Good luck to the young lad

Caletti would be an excellent addition to Adelaide.  

Michael Jakobsen and Mark Birighitti signed new co tracts.

Noah Smith and Jarrod Carluccio signed scholarship deal at their respective clubs.

Najjar has gone on loan to Macarthur while Najjarine has been loaned to the Jets.

Important re-signing for the Mariners

Agree.

It is Caletti.

Stunned Brisbane for releasing him, some said he wasnt good enough because of his size which is madness.

Some said he wasn’t good enough. Which was correct. 

He’s sure as hell better than the guy that replaced him.

Bruce just said on Twitter that he left months ago.
