See previous posts. Kew have 5 - 8 good senior players then they have roughly 30 players of average ability. As we know a lot of clubs have players playing in their 2's who play good footy, however, when promoted seem to struggle to adapt to 1's footy - that is exactly the case with Kew.
They have only a small number of players capable of playing good footy in the 1's and an ambudance of players who are of average ability.
Kew have plenty of numbers with over 15 - 20 players missing out on a game each week.
It is a pity that they can't get more quality players to lift the 1's, however, in all but 1 game this year they have either been in front or less than 4 goals down at half time.
It is after half time when the quality players rise to the occasion. Another factor with the reserves is at the present time they have 5 over 33 year olds playing in the 2's of which 3 - 4 have played over 200 games of senior footy.
This helps the younger guys coming through. It is not the ideal situation and lets make this perfectly clear, they are not going out of there way to win a reserve flag at the expense of senior relegation. Kew must stay in D3 and a win against Uni this week will help them in there goal to do this.
