From what I’m aware, they’re struggling real bad this week - something like 29 out.
A grade squad yesterday was only at 18 - didn’t even have a bench.. and that 18 included a kid who is still only 16 and was playing C grade last season.
3x concussions from last week, 2x interstate holiday, 4x FIFO workers, 1x car accident during the week, couple working, handful with covid and approaching a dozen with season ending injuries.
As of Thursday the B grade had 8 - and 6 of them were 1st 18 kids from the school.
Club probably could’ve scrapped towards 14 and put a side out but when most of the squad are 16/17 year old kids out of school who don’t play club footy it’s probably not the smartest move.
