 The objective of the academy is to develop players for the first team, that's always been the primary objective, to improve every single player that comes through here, but at the same time we want to win every single game we play. We don't think that those two things should be separate or mutually exclusive. So we're looking forward to competing really well, to instilling a winning mentality in all the players and to developing every single player that comes through. I stress that it's a continual journey for them, it's a journey that's ongoing, it's not just about round one or preparing for this game, it's about them improving every single training session, every single game and that's our objective as coaches and as a club. This is my fourth year at the club, in between those periods I was at Sydney United, both as the head coach and the assistant coach. I've been at the club as the head coach of the 18s for three years and also the assistant to the NYL previously, now I'm obviously the head coach of the NYL. I'm really proud, really really proud, it's a job that carries a lot of responsibility but it's something that I realise the privilege that I do have and I'm really looking forward to improving every single individual that I coach. The pathway which the Wanderers has always provided and always promoted is to develop players for the first team, that's the objective of the academy ultimately and this is the last step towards the first team and it does allow players to play against high quality opposition against a lot of good teams. So it gives us that opportunity to play these players and it gives us a good understanding of where they're at and what they need to improve. There's some really really good coaches in this league, I've seen their teams in terms of how they're set up and tactically they're really good. There's a lot of really good players, the expectation is that you know will be, I think also teams come when they do play the Wanderers, they come with some added motivation and you know I think the players are used to that coming through the academy but we expect a really really well organised opponents, really well coached opponents and some really good teams.
