NPL being the "Big Picture", not DTS, player progression or fairness in top tier trading.

Advancement of football in this country is the "Big Picture", half measures don't cut it. When you shit on clubs like CCM, it doesn't help the league, it doesn't help the players, and believe it or not it will not help the NPL clubs


Look man you've gotta start somewhere. I'll happily shit on CCM if it means the other thousand clubs around Australia, become included in the Australian football eco-system. 

I'm hopeful this will soon apply to AL clubs in due course, in which case that is the 'whole picture.' But we don't even know if this will even work yet, but its good to see something happen nonetheless.

Huddo, I see your point and I guess from the perspective of clubs like CCM and whoever else usually relies on the NPL to fill their rosters the answer is to change tack and rely on their own academies as a source of players instead. The double edged sword for the APL though is that this new found (and extremely welcome) source of funding injected into the player economy will create a stronger desire for players to stay the course within grassroots and clubland rather than end up at APL "farms" where they can be traded away for nothing. Watch NPL clubs start tying up promising U19s to 3 or 4 year contracts and offering other NPL players from around the traps 2-3 year contracts as well.... Especially if their is incentive to stay/play in a national division.... I predicted a possible arms race if the NSD ever got up and running, now with no cap on transfers I can almost guarantee it.

FFA were incharge of the sport, before the decoupling 18 months ago.

FFA where in charge of the Aleague and barely even knew the "sport" outside of this even existed 18 months ago...... things seem to be changing for the better.

This hypothetically then improves the standard of play, which in turn closes the gap between AL and NPL and increases the likelihood of an expanded top division and second division.

Need the DTS asap. The only fear is the A League clubs that are at the bottom end of the spectrum having to outlay for NPL players. 
Mariners have been able to aquire the services of Urenia, Cummins, Bozanic, Birrighitti and Koul among others lately so they can pay for NPL players as well.
The football ecosystem needs to go to the next level. Also, either get rid of the Salary Crap or raise it so it is insignificant to about $8 mil. 
Football being continuously hamstrung is a pain in the ass. If any NSD teams over run any of the A League teams, so be it. 
I'd like to watch South Melbourne take on Western Melbourne Utd at their initial homeground in Tarneit, 5k capacity, very curious.

Urena - Free Transfer
Cummings - Dirt Cheap
Bozanic - Free Agent
Birighitti - Free Transfer
Koul - under the previous NPL rules.

The Mariners don't have money. Make em pay, see what happens to the NPLs promising players.

The FFA, and APL is basically shitting on football in this country.

Central coast doesn't rely on NPL to fill our roster we don't have a current NPL Player in the side, we do now rely on our own academies.

But you watch how many NPL Players end up moving to the ALeague Now.

Josh Hong - Mariner sInce 17
Dor Jok - Mariner since 21, last year played 260 minutes with Melbourne Knights after coming from the west can't really claim that one.

Dean Larson - Mariner Since 15

Bradley Tapp - Mariner SInce 18, Believe he's a junior can't confirm

Cameron Windust - CC Junior
Zac Zoricich - Mariner SInce 19, came from NZ.


8 came onboard as 18+, of them:

2 came from overseas.
2 came from other aleague Academies
1- Beach - Signed at 18 from Glenmore(But may have been earlier). So is unlikely to have been on a senior contract.
1- Jok - played 260 minutes for his last club in 6 games, but they didn't develop him he came from west, which tells me a academy contract was the plan all along.
1- Cresner - came from NNPL Egdeworth Eagles.
1- unknown- couldn't source Junior history.



Not really the 50% "Poached" NPL Players described.

This is a good thing, but for the sake of this argument it isn't

So you're saying that a club should be reimbursing another club because they were trained at the original club as a child.

Matt Hatch was a Umina eagle in the U7s where's their reimbursement.

Besides most can't and haven't signed senior contracts, so now your talking about what? Reimbursement for players that chose to leave former junior clubs to advance there careers?

Perfect example, The Kuol brothers left GVS at 15 and 16 years old. Do you think a senior contract is enforceable if even legal on a 15 yo?

Yes. That may also be the team they were playing seniors at before joining an AL team. The whole point of this conversation is to bring in to the spotlight how this new rule will allow NPL clubs or State League clubs who have the resources, the freedom to offer contracts to players 18 and over who are keen to stay, so that AL teams can't just come in and take players away with little to no reimbursement other than a thanks.

If players under 18 want to leave thats fine, but giving them an option to stay and letting the player make a decision would be a better thing for football here.

I feel as though we are arguing for the same thing, but I'm just seeing this from the perspective of the grassroots, and you're seeing it from the eyes of the elite.

When a player signs his first professional contract a training fee is supposed to be paid and divided between all the clubs that the player paid for previously.

I'm late in on this discussion but in my view a DTS right across the semi-professional and professional parts of the ecosystem and each club developing a good scouting system are the two things that will do more to improve football here than anything else.  Funds moving down through the system allowing clubs to improve their player development will see better players moving up through the system resulting eventually in a higher quality A-League and that should mean more/better transfer fees for players moving overseas.  The benefits of this can be diminished if excessive artificial systems are allowed to inflate player values.

I'm with you as a supposed "elite" team supporter it's the only way my team will make money out of someone like Steele, or Ballard.

Sure mate, wasn't picking on your club, dont honestly know which Aleague clubs do what.....  these players in your academy though will have a decision to make next year ...... do they stay at the "academy" and hope they get a call up to the Aleague and at best get a smallish salary and a free transfer to another Aleague club or do they go "down" to the NPL and prove themselves and either get transferred to a stronger interstate NPL, overseas league or 3ven Aleague ALL with the added bonus of a transfer fee  both for them and the club they are at?.......
Like you say, great for more and more players, great for the clubs developing and onselling those players  bad for the Aleague if they don't also jump,on board.

This is a good point.
16 year old kid sitting in some A-League's academy.  He can stay there, and eventually the A-League club might decide to sign him up professionally, and do so for free.
But if the kid already has an agent, he might be thinking:  bugger that.
You might be able to start earning some pocket money with an NPL club  AND I might be able to get a sell-on clause in your contract, so that if, for example, an A-League club buys you for $200,000, you get to pocket 10% of it, or whatever the amount is (and of course the agent makes more in this scenario than what he would if an A-League club just takes him for free).

You might be able to start earning some pocket money with an NPL club  AND I might be able to get a sell-on clause in your contract, so that if, for example, an A-League club buys you for $200,000, you get to pocket 10% of it, or whatever the amount is (and of course the agent m.kes more in this scenario than what he would if an A-League club just takes him for free).

Economics, it's just the way it goes.

I'm sorry but there's just no argument against a DTS that stacks up. It's the way football works the world over, every single country has a DTS except Australia.

Take an example, If the Mariners pay 30k+ 20% of future fee for a youngster, then after a couple of season the players gets poached to another Australian club for 150k+ 25% future fee, then after another couple of seasons an O/S club purchases said player for 800k.

The NPL club ends up with 60k going back into its kitty, the mariners get 350k and the final AL club gets 600k+ whatever future fee that play might accrue.

This scenario of course requires aleague transfer fees, which is mandatory, big clubs can not be allowed to rob poorer ones any longer.

If the player went straight overseas from the mariners for 500k rather than joining another aleague club, the NPL club would earn $130k, the Mariners 370k+ whatever future fee. Everyone's still smiling. 

Yes some transfers will end up as money poured down the sink, that's football. The aim is to earn more in transfer fees received than you spend on transfers. If clubs start paying more domestically and establishing a certain value flow this will help raise the value of all aleague transfers. currently nearly all aleague transfers are appallingly weighted towards the buying club, we get robbed blind. Look at the McGree > Charlotte transfer scenario.  

And yes aleague clubs can afford it. If the Mariners invested their $ from Kuol's departure in another 6 players and they hope at least 1 of these new players generates a similar fee and the process keeps rolling. Half the league are owned by millionaires, this is just a new playground for them to flex - the new objective of Australian football, which club can set the records for highest transfer fee received. 

If clubs don't want ot pay for NPL players they use their own academies and develop internally like other clubs in development leagues do.

Actually, it's a form of market failure, because the whole industry is not playing under the same market rules.
Invariably, that's likely to mean inefficient market outcomes.

Agree with the premise - just not the example in the case of the Mariners. I think that the Mariners are cherry-picking youngsters before they sign a  professional contract. In this case the NPL and other clubs would get training compensation. I believe that was the case for Alou Kuol from talking to his coach at the time and would certainly be true of Garang and Teng.

With the NSD and NPL clubs also heavily scouting for players to develop because there is money in it Mariners might find it hard to work that way in future.

Maybe - but if does it means younger players are getting paid as professionals. Good for them!! 

If not the Mariners have a history of promoting young players and will still remain attractive.
