There's no way a cartoon could beat a real guy

So you're saying that if you play youre football in a lower Div you have bad culture as a club, and the people involved are incompetent?

I understand your overall point eg good people = good culture = good club, but the rest of your post is a whole pile of condescending horse crap.

There is so much more to what determines a clubs standing than just a good culture. Sure its part of it, but its not the whole enchilada. Plenty of very successful clubs have had terrible cultures and plenty of ordinary clubs on the field have had great cultures off it.

Our year a while ago in Div 6 when we got smashed week in week out we were fantastic in terms of discipline, volunteering, financially, culturally etc we had a great person from a great club coaching ... but we didn't have the players!

The main reason Mitchell Park are in division 7 is because of the high density of competitive clubs around us, demographic and population shifts, no backing from an Old Scholar pool and a historically poor reputation of thuggery - so maybe one out 4 or 5 reaons could be tied to a "cultural" issue. The people running our club right now would slot into just about any other club very easily, in fact, most of them have done so in the past - Happy Valley, Edwardstown, Kilburn to name a few.

Think I am going to add this one to morell's Football Myth Busters episode 1.

Why don't more people then put up their hands to develop your juniors then!!!!

We actually have to turn people away to help with Juniors. Thanks for precisely proving my point that its not always about the people or culture within a club which brings either a downfall or success. the football equation is a lot more complicated and difficult. To sum everything up involved in making a football club a success with one concise hyperbole - "get a good culture" - is pure folly.

SUCCESS breeds SUCCESS. End of story. The stronger your seniors the stronger your juniors. If you have a strong junior structure it is useless if the parents want them in a strong senior club. Cos eventually they will move on 1 by 1. Then you are left to start over again. It is not about culture it's about unity, on and off the field. Or it could be about "HYPERBOLE'S".
