Well obviously people are always going to follow teams but if we want to be a serious competition we shouldn't be losing players to second division.

This I can understand unless the lower division in question is a higher standard than the A-League. As far as I’m concerned only the Big Five second tiers are.

That’s if they’re good though. If someone’s absolutely horseshit then they can go nuts and sign for any club that wants/needs them.

It's part of the football ecosystem and healthy to have players move on. It will open up a spot for another young player. If no-one moves to smaller leagues then there aren't opportunities. Young players stagnate or leave themselves for opportumnties.

Best A League season was during covid when local talent got to play. We should have a decent cohort of AA returning too.

Every Joey should be making the A League bench and every young Socceroo should be playing.

To a degree you have a point but some players go to a league and you never hear from them again. Imo simmons is better off playing at wanderers at least he is making them a better team. That's another thing how can we do well in asia if players are leaving?

What about the ones at overseas academies (Toni Arena, James Overy, etc)?

Don't forget about the pay packet. I don't know the average salary for a J2 player but it may well be higher.

Weird Silvera was making a positive impact prior injury to then be tossed aside this easily.

Sam Silvera falls out of contract at Middlesbrough at season's end and the club may possibly be rebuilding ahead of another tilt at promotion to the Premier League next season but they haven't released their retained list yet.

Yeah so he was playing as RB in preseason doing ok. Then season started got beaten a few times in games we brought in targett and never really got another chance. Or I think he got a few more with the old coach but hellberg doesn't seem to rate him.

Not everyone is going to workout but I think he leaves with a bit of experience. Could get another championship/league one club
