This season we will have forced on us a rule stating players can not play up above their age group. apparently this is coming from the FFA.
If this is true why is Adelaide thinking of playing a 15yr old in an a leaue game?
What do i tell 9yr olds who have been with me for 3yrs that they can not play up in U11's.
Seems like a case of double standards to me.

BTW Peter De Roo said while he's been in Australia he's yet to see a Wayne Rooney

have to agree only seen 2 players , 1 won a stoke trial and the other is in a skills program, having said that the gap between them and the others narrowed over the year.
