One solitary senior flag in the past 15 years (A2s- 01/02) would suggest the mighty warriors are still being challeged in TVCA.
maybe you could worry bout lookin after your own club instead of baggin the Warriors saintal, you must be proud of pullin your a grade side out 1 week before the start of the season. Our decision is based on our WHOLE CLUB moving and looking after our juniors to provide for our clubs future, wherever that may be. Currently Woodside and Lobethal provide the majority of junior sides, with all the TVCA u16's (Woodside, Lobethal and Birdwood) and under 12's having to go to the AEHC to get a game because of a lack of clubs supplying teams locally...
As for you Kick'n'Back - behind clubs backs??? When informed by a member of the Woodside/Lobethal meeting about our decision to look elsewhere The TVCA president himself said that "yeah, you've probably outgrown the tvca anyway" so I really don't take anything you've got to say on here seriously as your club is not even supplying a team in any grade - senior or junior - to HELP OUT THE SINKING SHIP as you said. Actions speak louder than words don't they.
Ok, the cheap shot was a little below the belt. Perhaps I'm still a little shirty after chasing leather all saturday and the "interchange" debacle...
Yep, plenty of time has been spent worrying about the future of my club and nope, no pride at all in pulling the A Grade (and B Grade). A huge backwards step for the club, but at the same time was largely unavoidable. Took me most of last Friday arvo/night to scrounge up 11 players to tackle your seconds team, and the club has bugger all players between the ages of 12-22.
Personally can’t see why the junior situation can’t work how it is, with Woodside’s juniors playing A+EH clubs.
Lobey and Woodside supply 7 of the 22 senior teams. 1/3 basically. The last time I spoke to the Pres about the situation he was hoping that only the A Grades for the two clubs would depart, with the minor grade teams remaining in TVCA. Not sure how feasible this is though, especially from a scheduling point of view.
The two games I look forward to the most each year are against our blue+red rival, so it would be a shame to lose them from the comp.
