These are hypotheticals, I mean if you made all clubs in Div 1 field U18s Res and Seniors you will have 3 games of footy at all matches. Which will increase club revenue and improve crowds. (with money you could put fences up and charge a gate, or keep out trouble makers)
Just trying to start a debate.
Dont like the idea of putting fences up and charging gates. Council's will not let fences be put up at reserves; it is against the general trend. Last one i heard was that they were looking to pull down the external fence at Yarraville, not sure of the truth to this though.
It would be great for all div one teams to have U'18 teams all in the one comp. Three games of footy on the one day is more like the country model and would create a greater club atmosphere. However, as you say, there are teams like Werribee and williamstown who field strong U18 teams but dont field senior teams. It would be a tough job for the people at headquarters to juggle the fixture to have the 18's playing at the same ground as the seniors and reserves.
If starting a clean slate, would noth footscray be a stronger on field team than West Footscray? Off field the Devils would be well ahead.
How are heights looking for 09. Retained the list so far? and word on the new coach? potential recruits?
Hoppers- has a new assistant coach signed with SANFL pedigree?
