human blanket #3 wrote:what is BL highest age jnr team? i was part of the first group of jnrs that went from u16/17s to seniors 3-4 years ago . we had a strong u17 and u16 team (both played gfs) and prob have had 15 players who have played A grade from that group. we also got a decent 16s team now and hopefully a few will play seniors in one or two years. had two of them playing Bs last year (they were 14 and 15yr old and both got in best players)
i think when you have snr players involved in jnrs, it makes a big difference. a lot of jnrs can be daunted playing snrs and not knowing anyone. when i was in jnrs, we had 3 coaches from snrs and then had a few more who helped out. one of them even got himself suspended from snrs in a jnr match being a runner
did you play against north pines in the year you made the grand final? under 16's.. we have under 7's and 9's so cant promote them anytime soon..
