Just imagine what people at Morphett Vale will be heard enquiring about tonight . Maybe they will be enquiring about their “club team of home grown lads” that is now out of the finals. And with all of the junior grades losing today, maybe the junior juggernaut maybe taking its turn to slow down. They may just need to start using some points and do some recruiting in the near future. I wonder what Old Man Emu and certain members of the M.O.B would have to say about that. Get the cricket bats out boys.
Now let me start by saying i am by far a Morphett Vale supporter in fact i am close to opposite but i disagree with most of this post. Sure MVale exited on the first week of finals but surely some of you posters if you had half a brain can see that for long term future the way MVale have gone about it is perfect. No.one wants to win 1 flag then wait another 20years to win another.
Yes i agree you need to top.up your list of locals with a couple.of recruits but playing mainly locals and keeping them together is a vital.cog in long term success. Sure some of these will retire soon like Bayly x2, Zaluski, Bennetts, Earl, Hill etc But jeez they have a fair young crop coming through that have now been exposed to Senior footy. Names like Baker, Greenwood, young Bode, Williams, Sloan, Glazbrook and many more. Add them to.middle aged guys like Carpenter, Reynolds, Corrie, Byrne, Bode, Smith, Noble and there is plenty.to work with.
