the 05 team is the team that won the Nexen Cup (which should be current u16s)...
so by the standard transitive property NASA would have throttled every team in the nexen cup and taken home the title... (just kidding)

Its been a 50/50 split. |au backline have HG & AU2 players| Yes and both goals came from mistakes. Its been a pattern the past few games. |au u17 still lose| Yes |au bring u17 bench & u16 bench to play nasa| Most of the top u16 players are hurt from when the AU17s vs the AU 16s played (17s won 7-1) |nasa best ecnl u17 team| yes |au team never play b4| nope |au u17/u16 get humbled by nasa|Yes we all knew it was going to happen and not sure why the U16s played |

Oh W0W looks like ATL UTD had a not so great weekend. I wonder what the issue is. bogan from what I'm hearing, quite a few of the boys cut from AU at that age group landed on that NASA team. So not sure if AU would re-sign them or if they would want to return to AU. So I'm sure there was some incentive to play hard against AU and go hard. I've only heard about one player returning to AU after being cut and he's from UFA and that just happened this spring... So for those who watched the games, know the teams or have kids who play on these two teams, it begs the question, is this a fluke, is it the caliber of boys being brought into the academy or being retained, is it coaching, do other teams just bring their A+++ game when they step on the field with AU? I have heard there is some mixing of the age groups to form teams at AU, so do they not have any chemistry or are there clicks within the team that are not willing to play as one cohesive team? My personal opinion is that AU is set up for individual development and not team. I dont think AU has ever fielded the same players week to week so its always changing. No synergy, timing always off etc.. |

constantly bringing in kids and speaking with clubs docs and coaching staff. They seem to be trying to establish more of a relationship with the clubs and foster a collaborative player identification process. Honestly not judging, just clarifying, so you think fostering a collaborative atmosphere is what AU needs to do, to find more success or creating a carousel of kids coming in for trials? Again, not judging, really trying to pick the brains of others who are on the frontline and are more informative. With the closing of the training grounds to outsiders non-AU families, I don't have the luxury of watching first hand like I did in the past... Yes I do. They make it too individual. They pick the ones they like early and focus on those "they think" are the ones. You can also see politics at play. Some kids have 30+ more games than others but expect same results. Not sure i understand why this is. If you have player A that has 30 more games and player B fighting for that spot and its close. Why give that other player 30 more games? I cant figure it out. |
