The real question is which of Stars or Pride will first beat a deflated M&D team.

Which MD team is most vulnerable for an upset?

Seems that MDU lost the most - losing a really good player who was essential to the offense. Hero’s roster is posted and I think I recognize an MDU name there, so it could be a bad situation for MDU. If you read another message board there is chatter that M&D did not fare well this summer either. Hero’s is good and Coppermine will destroy everything in its path. So, I’d say MDU is most vulnerable followed by M&D.

So basically it is Coppermine alone at the top and the rest of the MD teams will fight it out for second place?

Yes; Coppermine went from clear number one to totally dominant. Only question is how they will give everyone enough time with the ball.

Hero's clear number 2.

Crush hung together well.

M&D will rally. MDU has the biggest challenges.

I would say Sky Walkers or Pride might sneak by MDU.

I am not convinced M&D will rally. They lost a top middie to Coppermine? Other board does not indicate they gained enough to compensate for the middie loss if that is indeed true.

Nobody seems to be disputing the loss of the top M&D middie to Coppermine, including the M&D fanboys on this forum.

The stupidity never ends from people here.

A middie from M&D left and went to Coppermine. I don't know what category people place kids in, but if you are good enough to make either team, you are a good player. A middie from Coppermine left and went to M&D, as well as girls from other top clubs. The MDU middie left and went to Coppermine. There's player movement all over and girls choose the best fit.

As the PP from MDU stated, they had a strong tryout and will still compete. Parents should spend Less time concerned on what teams your child can't make and more about getting them better and being happy.

Seriously!

Maybe in a positive vein, we could even turn to Stars + Pride (instead of Stars v Pride) for a moment as 15 players from those two teams will be playing together at American Select on the DC-Virginia team next week. Should be fun to see them on the same squad. Lots of girls who can put the ball in the goal, and the combined defense and goalies should be pretty solid. They have to play a Colorado group with several players that did well at Mid Atlantic last week, and of course, a tough upstate NY team that features the combined Aces and Monsters, but will be an interesting test.

Team should be very solid. Interested in seeing their results and how they gel together. Could be a very early look into some potential Capital teammates

They are going to be terrible. The best DC girls didn’t even try out and they play for MD clubs. So good luck having a decent team with out these key couple of girls.

M&D has/had some elite players. Your daughter plays for M&D. Therefore, she is elite. Do I have that right?

This is solid logic. I’ll add something similar. M&D team is a top team. Pride tied M&D, so therefore Pride is a top team.

Who won the NGLL in 2021 for this age group? anyone know? Anyone care? Nope to both. In two years, you all will be saying same thing about this season. Take a step back and relax.

With all due respect to all the very talented players out there, M&D did not lose any of their "top" players. And even if they had, they don't tend to play a game focused around any one player. So they are not deflated in any way. They had to add more players than is typical because they had a small roster last year, but they're very happy with the players they picked up. Everything else is just rumor.

What are you talking about? Where did that post even remotely say anything like that? I guess it's too sensible for your liking so you had to throw some nonsense in.

Both of you sound like jerks with the snark.

Let me summarize your key points without it: both M&D and MDU had big tryouts and have options to maintain their positions.

I agree on M&D. No need to deny the middie who moved on was a key player, while emphasizing that the M&D system involves many players and options and can adjust and overcome. The bigger question for M&D is how they went from losing by 1 to Coppermine on 7/9, to going 0-3-1 at Mid-Atlantic--tying and losing to teams they normally would dominate. That has to be an effort or morale issue, as the talent is there. Coaches will need to figure that out.

I disagree on MDU. The two players they lost scored the majority of their goals, and the offense and clears ran through them. That is much harder to replace. You simply don't replace one of the very best players in the country at an open tryout, and I doubt they did. They have a tougher road to maintain their position in the Mid-Atlantic pecking order.

Though I'm sure there were many reasons, the middie who left M&D partially did so due to feeling dissatisfied with PT and role. That alone tells you that it will not ding M&D nearly as much as people want to imply. As far as MDU goes, they have some really talented girls on their offense who may now be able to step out of the shadow of a player who the team ran everything through since these kids were little. This is not a knock of the player who left, she's great and she can't help that, but I do wonder what the sum of these other girls coming together to work as a team might look like. Seems like the biggest need for adjustment will be on the coaches who can no longer rely on one or two girls.

You are combining both the MDU players that left into the same group which means you don’t follow that team very close or maybe you are confused on which players left?

One is a top 5 talent that has a lot of polishing needed to reach her peak, hopefully she gets there.

The other is a solid role player who prob will have same impact on new team but certainly is replaceable, likely from those already on team.

Few kids are irreplaceable.

Bingo. This right here is facts. Lots of chances for girls to step up now.

A middie from Coppermine left and went to M&D, as well as girls from other top clubs. The MDU middie left and went to Coppermine. There's player movement all over and girls choose the best fit.

As the PP from MDU stated, they had a strong tryout and will still compete. Parents should spend Less time concerned on what teams your child can't make and more about getting them better and being happy.

M&D has/had some elite players. Your daughter plays for M&D. Therefore, she is elite. Do I have that right?

Both of you sound like jerks with the snark.

Let me summarize your key points without it: both M&D and MDU had big tryouts and have options to maintain their positions.

I agree on M&D. No need to deny the middie who moved on was a key player, while emphasizing that the M&D system involves many players and options and can adjust and overcome. The bigger question for M&D is how they went from losing by 1 to Coppermine on 7/9, to going 0-3-1 at Mid-Atlantic--tying and losing to teams they normally would dominate. That has to be an effort or morale issue, as the talent is there. Coaches will need to figure that out.

I disagree on MDU. The two players they lost scored the majority of their goals, and the offense and clears ran through them. That is much harder to replace. You simply don't replace one of the very best players in the country at an open tryout, and I doubt they did. They have a tougher road to maintain their position in the Mid-Atlantic pecking order.

Though I'm sure there were many reasons, the middie who left M&D partially did so due to feeling dissatisfied with PT and role. That alone tells you that it will not ding M&D nearly as much as people want to imply. As far as MDU goes, they have some really talented girls on their offense who may now be able to step out of the shadow of a player who the team ran everything through since these kids were little. This is not a knock of the player who left, she's great and she can't help that, but I do wonder what the sum of these other girls coming together to work as a team might look like. Seems like the biggest need for adjustment will be on the coaches who can no longer rely on one or two girls.

I am having trouble making sense of M&D middie feeling dissatisfied with PT and role and deciding to solve this problem by moving to Coppermine, who already has a murderers row of middies. Help me out on this one if someone can.
