They don't need Lalor to get a club in Wollert. Probably better off starting from a clean slate. Not sure why a relocated Lalor would be any better in Wollert than they are in Lalor ?

Wouldnt we be better off saving a club that has significant history in this league? Why not offer them a lifeline and see what they can make of it.

They would get Juniors if they moved to Wollert. Easily

i agree, way more chance of it happening than the current location/situation.
Sth Morang, Mernda have both moved locations and flourished with Juniors helping set the Clubs up for the future.
Also need money

Epping have 1x u9/10/12/14/16/17 boys teams. 1x u14 girls team, Thomastown have 1x u12 team and Keon Park have 1 team.
Not good for the future
What would they be called? If Wollert them what connection would they have with Lalor’s history? Different location, different ground and different name.
Just call them the Bloods, thats it. Don't need to put a suburb as a constraint
The kids that play football in the area are at Mernda and Epping, the rest of them are cricket 24/7. The demographics of the area have changed significantly over the years
Lalor, will change again but in years to come when young families start to move into the area again.
Solutions for sustaining clubs isn’t that easy especially when positions are voluntary roles.
Agree wholeheartedly, just throwing out options.
They cannot wait for the demographic to change in Lalor. They wont survive.
Young families arent looking to raise their kids in lalor, when they head 20 minutes north and get a better house,close to everything they need and have a young community at their doorstep.
Lalor as a suburb is almost dead.
I don’t agree with that. It’s significantly closer to the city and arterial roads.
Reservior is slowly going from an aging area to younger families, Thomastown as well.
It goes in cycles

Agree, I think these suburbs will come back eventually to have more families its what seems to happen in many others, may not be for a few years but bound to happen.
They dont have a few years

exactly. and if Reservoir is slowly going to younger people it doesnt mean Resa will get Juniors going again.
It simply wont happen for lalor and you are spot on. They cant wait for the cycle to turn their way in 5-10-15 years.

A lot of concern for juniors here. Why don't the people in this forum start a non for profit community organisation that helps gets kids connected to struggling local junior clubs?

Sure is
Games against Kinglake & Mernda in their last four could certainly shape the finals
Well here goes
Laurimaur 14 wins
Kinglake 13 wins &%
Mernda 13 wins
Eltham 9 wins &%
West 9 wins
Or could all be wrong
