Not likely....No disrespect to any of the parkie boys but none of them would play A grade back there even at div3 level which is where the parks are heading next year. Shaun actually retired end of last year but decided to go around with the cougars so sure he wouldnt player/coach, Huaghy and Troy gatts would go back to being just good/ordinary A graders but the rest of the boys they would be the first to say they wouldnt get a game in the one's.
And again not likely, the cougars obviously need to build on their recruiting next year but they would be silly to keep looking in eastern parks backyard...most of the boy's already playing with them are playing B grade and the only other two making an impact on the YPFL is Shaun and Haughy so why would you go there again...great lads all of them but when it comes to whats best for the club they need to look elsewhere....Never understood why they would pay a recruit to play B grade each week (would only be a b grader at parkies) because you have to many in the A grade. Stronger clubs yes. Rebuiling clubs never...surely you can muster enough locals to play B for free and give them experience at the same time...Never no might find a late bloomer.
