Solid start to the season for the Jets in their first practice match, beating North Wagga 86 to 51 over 6 quarters. Has anyone else played any practice games? Whats everyone got planned prior to the start of the season?

Hi Guys. Thanks for your concern, but as oodles mentioned there are a lot of factors that contributed to the shifting of the game. We've had over 60 players train with us during the preseason so far, so our numbers are looking ok at this stage. However we are always looking for new players, so...

Well you've just shown yourself to be a real tosser straight up. First you say how clubs should make the jump up the divisions and then you have a swipe at the only club that has the guts to actually do exactly what you are suggesting the other clubs do. Jets are tracking well for their second...

Very quite on here lately. Surely there is some goss to keep us all entertained over the off season. In other news the Gungahlin Jets are kicking off preseason on the Thursday the 5th of November at Amaroo playing fields starting at 6pm. All are welcome, new and old players. The Jets are still...

Moving to Canberra? The Gungahlin Jets made the move into Canberra's Division 1 competition this year and after some promising signs we are looking for recruits for season 2016 to help take us to the next level. With a wealth of junior players coming through the ranks the Jets future is...

I'll pass on your condolences to our players. Thanks for your concern.

Yes unfortunately the club has been forced to pull out the Rising Stars team. I believe they had about mid 30's in numbers for both the U18s and U17s and with nearly all the players eligible for U17s they decided for the kids development it would be better to keep the U17s and fold the Rising...

Two teams fold (allegedly) and you clowns celebrate like its some sort of victory. Oh, but apparently you guys are the ones who care about growing the game...

I don't understand why you think you shouldn't have to pay the same fees as every other club in the competition, and because you do pay the same fees you should be given favouritism? Can you explain that to us?

I've stated before that my involvement is wanting football to be the best it can be. That's not just for my club, but for the whole competition. The last few years have not been good for football in this town, and as you mentioned participation has dropped. I'm sure every team in Canberra can...

Haha, you are a foolish man. I see you criticising almost everything that happens in this comp, but never see you coming up with alternatives. Why don't you share with us all what you believe would should happen. Being so wise and all, surely you have the answer to make everyone happy and to...

I can only speak from a Canberra clubs point of view, but having senior and reserves teams playing different opponents at different ground on different days was killing clubs here. I think what AFL Canberra have done is a great thing for football in this town. I can understand how regional teams...

I find that interesting. I know in the past that's what happened at most clubs, but I would have thought that had changed this year. I'm pretty sure that's changed at Eastlake. I would have thought that the Div 1 team and Div 2 team would have been the ones training together considering they are...

90%? Wow 20 NEAFL players each week. We should be flag favourites. :p

Our comp sounds a lot like this I would have thought. Juniors returning to their original clubs and others being drafted out to other clubs. I suppose the difference is this year players have been allocated, rather than drafted. I don't know why the admin decided to head down this path as I...

Its about trying to stop clubs from poaching other clubs junior players. Otherwise the richer clubs would continue to rob the poorer clubs of their young stars and the competition would continue to be a 4 team comp. Everyone seems to be so short sighted on this. No wonder football in this town...

Is the VFL responsible for AFL listed players who get injured whilst playing in that competition. Probably one of the more stupider comments I've heard on here recently.

Maybe you should check your facts...

Sorry for the late reply, I've been on holidays and didn't spend them checking big footy. Anyhow, I never claimed to write this, I'd never claim to be able to write something as good as it, hence why I used it. If I've got good material at my disposal why wouldn't I use it, I wouldn't be doing...

Maybe you should read my post before blowing up. Read it again and you'll see all I'm trying to say is it seems in the future players wanting to play NEAFL football will have to accept playing for a different club if they aren't selected at NEAFL level. How is it any different to a player...

My understanding is that Div 1 & 2 and Rising Stars will consist of only Ainslie, Belco, Eastlake, Gungahlin, Queanbeyan & Tuggeranong. All 3 grades play the same opposition on the same day at the same venue for every round of the season. I'm not sure how Marist rising stars fit into this. The...

Everyone has a choice. If you want to play NEAFL you will be shopped around when not selected in the NEAFL team. If you just want to play for Ainslie/Eastlake only regardless of what level you are playing then you can commit to Division 1 and give up on playing NEAFL football. That's their...

I've got a fair idea of the reasons 3rd Grade, but I'll keep my thoughts to myself. ;)

Completely wrong southcab. Until earlier this week I knew as much as anyone else on this forum, probably less than some. I still don't know whats happening next year. What I did know was that Gungahlin was looking to push up into Division 1 either in 2015 or 2016. Why would I ask questions I had...

I moved to Gungahlin because I love coaching and I want to make a difference and try and help improve football in Canberra. I believe as I have said previously that the best thing for Canberra football is for the top Division to be competitive and healthy with a wealth of teams participating in...

This is the biggest problem of them all. Sort this out and I imagine things will turn around pretty quickly.

I honestly doubt they'll be training that much. From what I've heard most players aren't getting paid, so its hard to ask players to train 3 nights a week without any incentive as you have mentioned. I guess time will tell, but at Gungahlin we wont be training 3 nights a week during the season...

Are you suggesting that I don't play football for fun? What other reason is there to play football? Money? I find it very difficult to imagine there is anyone playing AFL Canberra football and making a living out of it. In my honest opinion the "commitment" required to play Div 1 is completely...

How's that got anything to do with social football? I must have missed something because I didn't realise that Div 1 & 2 were professional footballers. I play other sports outside of football like soccer/basketball/netball socially, but that doesn't mean I don't want to be playing in the best...

I know I come from a different point of thinking, but surely clubs should be thriving to move up divisions, rather than whinging about it when the opportunity presents itself. Don't coaches and players want to play at the highest level that they can? Don't board members and sponsors want to see...
