Good luck to them but with the hand outs they have received, if they go on to with the flag this year or next, it won’t sit well with a lot of people

They didn't have a side 2 years ago. They won 1 game this year. What do you want to happen?

Massive advantage and will go a long way to winning them a flag.
Does David Sinclair and the O&M give the points and advantage over everyone else to Myrtleford next?

What should have the league done then? They had 60 points last year and finished bottom, they've got 5 less and look competitive and look a threat and you complain

Like many have said on here there’s just concerns about the direct route it may take and the longevity of the solution. I hope it works out, I really do. But it’s a kick in the teeth of two clubs (Hoppers and Bulldogs) who have both worked their absolute backsides off to get back amongst the top 5 by diligently getting their clubs going in the right direction.
So if Corowa somehow win the comp with this advantage next year do you say it’s great for all involved and the integrity of the competition?

I think some of the head shaking comes from the notion that aside from the floods, the predicament that Corowa found themselves in was very much of their own doing in the stubbornness to address the Corowa cluster issue.
I get that the community needs to feel good and positive about something but from first glance it would appear that they have been handed some concessions that don’t really look to set the club up for a sustainable future. I suppose you have to start somewhere but you get that feeling that Cressa is very much for the here and now.
What is being done to address the development of local talent, or investment in those inhabitable facilities? I’d honestly sooner get changed in a public toilet than those shipping containers.
North Albury are a shining example of building from the bottom up. With Corowa it seems like letting a kid loose in a lolly shop with $100 and no parent in sight
You do realise it costs millions to rebuild club rooms and its a local state and federal funding issue, not the clubs fault.
Maybe rovers is a better example of how to build, good succession plan with crezza and muzz, he could do the same with bradtke, who would have some connections too. If most of the list stays next year they play in the 40 point bracket.
It's a bloody hard caper to come back from zero sides and it's good to see their thirds from 2022 coming back
Maybe you missed the part where I mentioned that the floods were out of their control. I would think that instead of a bandaid fix that a well thought out and structured rebuild would hold you in better stead for the long term.
I get that there is pain involved, but a short term sugar hit doesn’t fix the problem. I want to see C/R still around in 10 years time. I’m yet to see any evidence of learning from past mistakes
