Or won't the senior players be keen on a guy who has only coached juniors, and do they fear that some of the ageing warriors who Keam has had playing in the B grade will still miss out on a game from someone with an eye to youth and looking to build towards the next crack at a flag rather than coach for damage control. There's not much value in only being competitive if you aren't getting A grade games into the young lads.
How water tight are coaching contracts at our level. Does Keam get paid out? Those Mini's parents better be geared up for selling plenty of raffle tickets!!!
Five players either 18 or under in the side for Saturday, so don't think that's a bad mix of youth in the side.
Have no idea on the coaching contracts, but would say it is unlikely at SFL level that the contract would have to be paid out. Would also be surprised if there wasn't a very broad definition under 'performance clause' that would cover most eventualities.
All I want to see is a competitive effort from the boys this week.
