This is only going to get worse.
Most clubs from Hallam through to Moorabbin rely on being able to draw players from the new estate areas from Lyndhurst through Clyde and the back of Berwick. There’s 5+ new clubs planned for that area in the next few years which will dry up the player pool for these existing clubs.
This has been coming for 10 years and nothing done. In fact the issue has been made worse by poor planning and research when making expansion decisions.
The league and AFL Vic need to put a plan in place for football in the south east. Time to sit with all the clubs, discuss the future and help kick off some tough discussions.
The other option is to do nothing and watch them drop off one by one. That’s no way provide leadership and prevent damage to the reputation of the Comp.
Some of the discussion in other threads about culling clubs seems pretty harsh given many of the problems stem from issues far beyond the control of the clubs in the region.
You seriuosly think Moorabbin is effected by Clyde and Lyndhurst? Do you know where Moorabbin is?? Only thing Moorabbin is effected by.....Is Moorabbin!
