Given their rumoured outlay and that they've been a finalist in recent years, that they've been unable to go on with it would have to be a concern - particularly as old foes in Abers, Strathmore, Keilor, Greenvale, and Marby aren't as active in recruiting so they really should be closing the gap.
Mate Keilor recruit hard and let’s not forget Abers with Marcon & Meese to name 2. Would be close to the highest players in EDFL. What do you think a captain coach like Marcon would be on?? Big Meese close to the best local player currently playing.
Do you have any proof that most of the club's you mention are spending big coin. It is easy to throw accusations when you're coment is on a forum. Just saying.
Oh FFS at least admit it mate. I noticed Pacco playing a few kids in the finals and that Abers are promoting younger players. Didn’t see many in Keilors side or Strathmore that were under 19-20.
NFI has old mate Turbo
Yes mate, totally agree. Turbo seems to have acquired a particularly bad (even for him) case of verbal diarrhoea today. He is in habit of making wild, unsubstantiated assertions, can't back them up, then deflects or runs a mile when challenged. You just wish he would engage his brain, and do some fact checking before hitting the keyboard. I would lay odds that Strathmore had far more ex juniors playing on Saturday than Pascoe Vale. I would also lay odds their player payments would have been less than Pascoe Vale's, no matter what Turbo claims.
I didn’t mention juniors from the club I said how many played on Saturday under the age of 20.
I'm not forgetting that at all, as I've noted however, those clubs would have scaled back their recruiting and by extension expenditure, contrasted with years gone by & are largely leaning on their internal pathways.
In your response to BlueJet you said “Oh and Strathmore pay huge coin as well”. Given that just about everyone on Strathmore’s playing list came up through the juniors, who are all these players on huge coin?
I responded to your uneducated answer. So was it one player under 20 in last weeks senior team.
You can twist and squirm all you like Turbo, but you've got zero credibility on this issue. It's been more than adequately demonstrated, most notably by Star, that far from not playing youth, the Mores actively promote their young players. You need to stop making stuff up. You still haven't given me a breakdown on Pacco's playing list profile though.
I don’t need to go through there playing list over the year as that wasn’t the discussion. It was raised purely to deflect which you don’t understand. Maybe go and read my original first reply!
The whole thrust of your post was that Strathmore aren’t playing young blokes. They clearly are. You’re the one deflecting and trying to seize on irrelevancies.
You are making a fool out of yourself here!’
Bit feeble. Surely you can do better than that?
Bollinghaus has a broken collarbone. Is 50/50 to play.
Davis wont play (I'd be very surprised if he does anyway) as he had surgery on a busted face only 2 weeks ago. Foster may play, but again had surgery on a busted finger and Reimers was sick for the SF 2 weeks ago.
Recent years - offers that have blown others out of the park?
