Well clubs like Broadview have had juniors for a very long time. Why do I see sons of Broadview legends playing for other clubs?
I have been involved with PAOC for 40 years and in this last 7 years, I have never seen a group of people work harder to cultivate their juniors into joining the old scholars club. Never. Many of those players are zero pointers for both old scholars and a district side.

The difference between now and 20 years ago is some district clubs can't go out and spend a zillion $ to buy a new team every year.

Interesting comments. Think many at Broadview are glad that some players who invaded the club and ruined the culture have now been moved on. A young list with a new coach, it will be interesting to see how they develop this year. Some nice recruits still to be announced I hear.

glenunga look like being the next kilburn,sailsbury west scenario,4-5 very expensive ex sanfl players in for 1 year,then andrew mitchells money runs out,players leave,back to div 7 again.
