Have to ask the new coach as well............are you also here just for the money? Desperate people make desperate offers, can only imagine what was thrown his way to buy success.
Why is Aspley loosing quality youth? Rutledge and Crook so far, and a few more from the rumblings. Can someone put there finger on the main issues? Apart from the $$$$ for unseen interstaters, and the lack of quality juniors developed by the club, surely its more than that.
10 from my count including Allir who played in the Pacific Side. Once again a selected side formed around 1 or 2 players for draft selection. That U16 side would have given it a good crack this year but unfortunately a few hard nut quality players that have a strong personality, and a different...
Recruiters impressed with many from the Lions squad..........nothing from the GCoast after the 1st game. maybe they should prop up the GC side with those that got droped from the Lions academy so they can put up a decent fight
Country does without a doupt produce some great sportsmen..........can also say that some of the delisted boys that Ive heard about are still among the top 30 in there age group, if we are talking about 17 and 19 year olds in the squads. Some of the GC boys you are referring to would be in the...
Wouldnt be supprised if most of Brisbane boys that get selected to play seniors will play senior club. GC side up on the AFLQ web site and apart from a few most wouldnt get a look in the Brisbane side. Word has it that a few of the Cairns boys are on a promise so they would relocate
6/7 GC players will def make a mock of the system.........Haberfield, Boston Davidson, are the only quality kids at the GC, rumour has it some new unheard of Cairns kids have been promised State selection probably to beef up the AFLs advertising up that way
Majority of quality/certainties will be playing club this weekend rest will be tried out to see how they go. Suppose any injured players coming back will also get a run. Heard the GC squad have around max 3 quality players in there squad plus 2 reasonable rookie talls. That will be an...
Lion cubs definately got muscled and not really any standout cubs, or any of the other Academy boys...........the best academy 3k runner got carved up when it came to playing football. Didnt notice Cameron, but does he need to play anyway? Whos Johnson?
apparently a new boy started in the academy 2 days before they cut the squad.........indigenous lad with a rugby background..........hes still there and cant kick a footy.
Academy IMO is about finding athletes and making them footballers.......not turning footballers into athletes.........Every year we see the same stuff ups at selection time and the best footballers dont get selected.........why?
Agree with both comments, however they(AFLQ) tell clubs to play certain kids in seniors and see how they perform. Then when some get 5 touches or so give them a huge write up in the footy record as a Rising Star to build them up..........happened last year and a MtG kid got to AIS thanks to...
Interesting cuts from the Brisbane squad............and very interesting not cuts from the squad..........nothing has changed........rookies, and 19yr old duds still on the list.........
Sorry to offend you BigE no real intent..........I just hate them and have done since I 1st ever came across there Junior club management and supporters.........Port Adelaide through and through..........but as I have said before(i think) love em or hate em, I prefer to hate em
Good call..........part of an interview process involves or should involve whats best for the kid first and foremost. ....if another club on the sth side can offer a better opportunity in there line up for whatever reason they may be positional in need off.......... then id say take it. If...
So how many kids does Perkins want? Hes offering(pleading with) a 17yr old midfielder to come over from another club, but to play where? They should have a very good midfield already this year with last years players and the new recruit........so what could he possibly offer a 17yr old...
Has to be a good thing having all those resources around the boys..........whispers around the place are this years boys can knock of a few Sth State sides........if they can put it together on the day and play as a team
Dont have to be superfit to get 30 touches in the midfield if you have a footy brain...........fitness test I was refering to was set times as per draft camp standards. Funny thing about that is the kids are still 12 months away for that possability
