how big exactly is the step up in your eyes,,
i guess only a few players have made the step up, coasta,
draper, banks, bunce,white,
a numba have made the step down like hay,brockie,emblen,bazely
and a number were signed first year for the knights like
christie,brockie,
i mean jeremy brockie shined for the knights and was average
for sydney, now he's playin average for H.B,
Darren Bazely and emblen, haven't seen them play in nzfc how they adjusting,

I think there is a bit of a difference between A-League and the old
NSL.

Emblen came on, set up a goal and scored I believe but Ive heard he broke his foot? Not sure if its true but he wasnt playing yesterday.
Bazeley fits in fine - judging by yesterday again - but certainly doesnt shine.

Big step up from social to pro football.
Brookie only looked good as he was comming on for
last 10 mins. Emblen and Bazely were not up to A League
level.
A dog with a bone :)

Brockie shining for the Knights - you're not serious are you ? Was
very ordinary and it was his dreadlocks and a couple of spectacular
goals that gave him the profile not any great ability.
Bazeley just a solid pro ,nothing more.
Huge step NZFc to A League - social football to full
time.
Very few players in NZFc that I think would make it in the A
League - perhaps Sigmund , Jordan and Young (if five to ten years
younger) and that's about it ?
Players would be better off going to the State leagues in
australia and then making the step up.

Good call on the Brockie front. He's not exactly setting the NZFC
on fire...

Maybe thats our problem though - we promote our youngsters too
quick and instead of going forward, they dont push on and drop back
a couple of levels - so how hard will it be for Brockie to ever get
back up?
As an example, I think what they are doing with Costa, Draper and Spoonley is the way to go - develop them as players and then release them into the games when they are ready....

You've gotta be joking when you say Costa, Draper, Banks,
Bunce and White made the step up. None of them became established
players in Professional football. Some of them had good spells at
NZFC franchises, but that hardly justifies your claim. Costa and
Draper have the opportunity to make the grade (as does Pelter and
some other young lads in the UK, Germany, Japan etc) but it will be
a few years before you can say they have made the grade. Do they
have the desire? We'll have to wait and see. The difference between
the A league and the NZFC is chalk and cheese as can be seen by the
number of ex Knights players who do not stand out in the NZFC,
which is exactly why they struggled.
What's sight without sound? Love without peace? Copulation without conception?
