I /we do expect you are not all who you seem, which makes sense due to the fact there is not to many people down your way that know to much about football, let alone developing your juniors.Can you please ask around your club and find a answer WHY your juniors are under achieving seniors, please dont get me to wrong we all need a good Mclaren in the comp, but geewizz "where the bloody hell are they"?
leon so what if mums place is in the kitchen, if she enjoys helping or doing anything at the footy club, i say thanks to her and all the other people who help out, so that we the players have a club to actually play for, and unfortunately for you and some others on this site everyone is entilted to an opinion, and to express it, i dont think mum claims to know a lot about footy but if wasn't for people like her football clubs would not survive, so good on you mum
our development of juniors into quality a graders has not been our biggest problem although it is a problem which has been worked on this year with a mentor program set up and some seniors training with juniors and vice versa, recruiting players has been, i think with 4 or 5 recruits to assist with the players we have got we will not be as bad as everyone thinks, we have not recruited well over the last 4 or 5 years, as this is what in my opinion has hurt us more, as every club loses juniors as they turn into seniors, if you have 8 juniors go up to seniors in the one year, it is highly unlikely all of them will play a grade. no disrespect meant to jags as he is a great bloke and has been a champion player at the club but in my opinion we have been tactically poorly coached this year.
also leon since we joined the gsfl in 2001 we have won a flag in every grade and yes most of them are juniors but we have won a grade and b grade flag as well i think you'll find there are only two other clubs to win a and b grade flags in this time, langhorne creek and willunga, and only 1 other to win in all grades willunga so before you and some others continue your mclaren bashing ask yourself bout how well some of the other clubs are doing
