How are clubs suppose to put time and money trying to promote and build juniors if there aren't any?
Kids are too interested in playing ps3, smoking weed and fingering girls which means footy or sport in general gets put on the back burner.
I know that we promote juniors to play senior footy wherever possible but the talent pool is so shallow that some of the junior coming through just aren't up to senior standard.
You mean. Promote your juniors so you can fit all your imports under the points allocation and then sit them on the bench for 3 and a half quarters?
I've only been there for 2 seasons so can't comment on what use to happened , but we have always played 3-4 juniors most games even when they didn't need to play. And that was to expose them to senior footy.
They also spent plenty of time on the field and not 3 and a half quarters on the bench.
But what you said reads a lot better, so I'm happy to roll with that
Ash would be on serious dollars, will only be around for half a season also because he wants to travel the world. Went to the highest bidder to pay his trip. Can't imagine he would train to much but will get a kick here and there. With all these Hughes gun imports at hamley this year, I think Thach could be rotating forward pocket to bench with one of these kids they need to drop points......... Hamley for the Flag
