Trinity finished 4th and got a home final. Not getting a home final hurts financially too. Ridiculous the preliminary is neutral. We earnt a home final by beating Kilburn on their home deck!

You're a goose mate. Only just changed to neutral preliminary finals. Kilburn get 2 home finals in their 100th year. Gepps will smash them. CLG had half a side 21 or under. Let's see where both clubs are at in a few years time. Still just hanging in there aren't ya?

it got changed to neutral finals for preliminary in 2020 due to COVID and at grounds that had the COVID action plan.
Kilburn got 2 home finals as they finished 2nd to host the Qualifying final, and lost so was able to host the 1st semi final as being the highest loser in that game.
I would be proud of what Zwecky is doing at the Den by bringing in some young players who have earnt their spot, future is bright down at the Den.

Should Zwecky be called the "Hinkley" of the ADFL?
Seems to get lots of wins during the season and choke in Prelims and GF's?
Only know the Lockleys history over that period, dont want CLG to follow that path.

We played 6 under 18s Saturday against a team full of stars. We are extremely comfortable with the path we are on with Zwecky. In fact we are probably a year ahead of plan

As I've got older and care more about the future of my club rather than just focussing on the now then I also agree it's not all about Premierships. It's called Community Footy for a reason and it's just as much about providing a service to your community. If you do that fairly well then success or at least being highly competitive will generally be the outcome. This is where I think Gaza has run into problems. It must be challenging to run a club with a name that has no real identity linking it to the area.
Not sure how Eagles2014 can say that 'several Lockleys lads' have said they have gone to another level the last 2 years. They won A, B & C flags in the COVID year. Moved on the A grade coach and in the same division finished 5th in 2021 and were very lucky to make the GF in 2022 after winning 17 on the trot heading into finals and then choked on GF day. Won 12 out of 18 this year which included 3 losses to teams that missed finals (one that got relegated). Not many teams get promoted with that type of season so will be interesting to assess that 'another level' come June / July next year.

That’s possibly the nicest thing he’s ever said about another club.
We’ve got some work to do, but the foundations are in place for our long term future with a strong junior program. We will be looking at targeting more CLG juniors to return to the club in 2024.
