+x+x+x+x+x+xAAFC Chairman Nick Galatas was at the Meeting It was an excellent meeting yesterday.
Yes, it's taking longer than expected, but we'll get there & get it right.
Misguided policies for 20 years has consequences.
FA & all clubs now flicking a switch at once isn't easy.
Alignment takes time. https://x.com/NickGalatas/status/1825736311304822843 When he says ‘all clubs’ does he mean A League clubs as well, hopefully he does as they will have to be in the conversation now. When he says ‘20 years of misguided policies’ I believe he is saying that FA want a reset of both professional and semi professional leagues and this is the time to do it. The direct quote from FA is : "Football Australia and the NST Clubs will continue their dialogue over the coming weeks" Nothing in there about APL clubs (or anyone outside the NST for that matter) I was referring to comments by Nick Galatas. I should have also quoted his comment ‘alignment takes time’. Maybe I’m reading too much into it but it sounds to me that it is more than just the setting up of the NST. Sorry mate I am not sure.... I dont know Nick personally but have seen him around the club... My understanding was that yesterdays meeting was only NST clubs and FA (of which AAFC is now at least provisionally on the board) ... could be wrong though. I think you’re right about the meeting being between the NST clubs and FA but the comments I quoted led me to believe a discussion was had about a range of issues. Maybe it’s intuition (ha ha) or just wishful thinking 🤔.

My concern is that this is too far down the road to turn back but out of desperation all we agree to some sort of champions league model so they can say something has been produced.
If we dont get a proper league it needs to be binned.

+xMore sweet nothings NST FOUNDATION CLUBS MEET WITH FOOTBALL AUSTRALIA TO DISCUSS COMPETITION’S FUTURE Following yesterday’s meeting between Football Australia and the National Second Tier (NST) Foundation Clubs, I am excited and pleased to announce that significant progress is being made to progress the competition and ensure a timely launch. Discussions were incredibly productive, showcasing a strong commitment from all parties to collaborate effectively and build a sustainable and dynamic competition that will benefit the entire Australian football community. The collective passion and shared vision among the clubs reaffirms Sydney Olympic FC’s dedication to this important initiative. Thank you all for your patience and support throughout this process. I look forward to sharing more details with you as soon as possible. Damon Hanlin, Club President nick galatas and this maybe be almost devoid of info, but they do seem happy which is information. If it was "champions league or nothing" or "no budging on entry requirements" I doubt we get statements like this Vince R making fun of how they sound like chat gtp, but a league has been pretty similar.

Yep, this is better than what we expected. Nick has publicly stated the Championship model is not what the 8 clubs signed up for. There seems to be an alignment on the direction (hopefully h&a) just need to do more work to get the $$$ to stack up… easy for us to take pot shots from afar without knowing the details however my reading of the play is that everyone is invested to make it nst h&a work, just need corporate backing or more teams….

yes agree we need more football media out there but he's only looking out for one league and debunks what could or more so should happen for the game. Journo's and the few lacking regards to our code should at least be more open and show support for anything to advance our game/systems.

(I assume he makes some mention of the first 30 odd years of Anges life in a biography? I would never buy anything produced by that fraud). In a way I dont blame him selling out, the APl gives him access to the message they want to push ut out so he can't be seen to bite the hand that feeds him ... We all saw what happened to old mate Janakan and his fake slavic ex NSL financial wizard... hahahahahahahah

Love this post by a guy on a different site...sorta puts many of my thoughts in a single paragraph...
Australian football just doesn’t know what kind of sporting mentality they want to adopt, they’re caught in their own AFL/NRL way or the American Franchise way or the European Football meritocracy way and this is reflected in their fanbase, look at the comments on this website for evidence. Until they sort out this dichotomy of what football in Australia should be, then I fear you’ll be having these kinds of debates about governance, rather than what’s happening on the pitch.

Not to my knowledge. If it's just a cup comp with the foundation members, then that's kinda dumb and doesn't make much sense. If it's a cup comp with the top level NPL winners, then if it was to run this year then Preston Lions would miss out as they are not a top level NPL team. If it's the latter, then does all the work/money the foundation clubs have put in just get binned?

He will be the first to wear an Marconi or APIA jersey in the launch party photo of the NST ..... and not see the irony in it either.....

Thanks jc, yeah I believe AAFC has been granted observer status now, not sure if they have a legitimate vote yet. No idea what observer status is Takes minimum 4 years to get to Voting status Perth will be back at the start of the Queue this Novembers AGM. Not sure about Newcastle

+x+x+xAnd Graz, I think we have learnt Rugari isn’t worth any cred so wouldn’t bother reading what he says. I'm glad there is any football media at all, even if he is a bit of a sean hannity lately We all saw what happened to old mate Janakan and his fake slavic ex NSL financial wizard... hahahahahahahah What on earth is this about? I have to hear about this one haha! I'm here for storytime with Mono 🤓

+x+xMy concern is that this is too far down the road to turn back but out of desperation all we agree to some sort of champions league model so they can say something has been produced. If we dont get a proper league it needs to be binned. Have they ever stated WTF a CL model is? I mean if its juts a re-hash of the old NPL Australian finals series then no need for financial guarantees, club licensing agreements and the like, its first past the post gets to compete in an end of season comp.... If the NST league gets the green light, I wouldn't be surprised if we still see a CL but for the 3rd tier (what would be 8/9 NPL feds). Whether it's one or two teams from each, or maybe a number of slots via ranking/coefficients in groups, the idea would be for the best NPL clubs to connect and improve standards to get closer and ready for NST entry. Could even be used for promotion to NST when that becomes available. The group format would be shorter and cheaper and can run during their season. And what I'd like to see for NST and A-League is a league cup, groups then knockout format. Having 16 teams from each league would be perfect, ends up 8 groups of 4. I'm dreaming again, aren't I?
