2025 is a bit early surely. The kids in Auskick to under 12s will barely we 18 if that.What Lalor is doing with there Auskick and junior program is fantastic. But I do agree they will need some kind of on field success over the next 4-5 years. They don't want to become a breeding ground for better placed sides on field and in the area. The likes of Thomastown, Greensborough, Bundoora will all pounce on these kids if they become decent footballers. We all know once they hit the 18-21 years of age, they will make there own choice on where they want to play football and if in 5 years time the performances haven't improved and they can see a better standard up the road, loyalty will be out the door very quickly! Hopefully by 2025 you are right and they are pushing for Divison 2.
I really hope Reservior and Lalor can start knocking off sides this year. Hopefully make those trips to their ground dangerous for sides.
