I'm hoping for a Para Hills vs OSB Grand Final - that would be the best outcome for the competition as a whole.

They seem content being a powerhouse D7 side - where were all these "premiership stars" last season when the club was teetering on the brink of folding? This year they're gunning for their THIRD division 7 flag within FIVE seasons.. let that sink in. Strut around like peacocks when the going is good in the lowest grade, but all go cowering or chasing greener pastures when it looks like their is work to be done.
Clubs can operate however they like - I don't even care if clubs pay the stupid sums of money that are being spoken about out at Brahma - but for me what irritates me is the way they promote themselves when the going is good.. it borders on arrogance and bragging.. and the way they all get around themselves is puke worthy. By all means promote your club if you think it's in the best interests, but bit of humility wouldn't go astray either.
The nerve of their coaches contacting literally every player at our club - and then having the audacity to ask if we had a trainer for them was laughable.
I don't see them trying to make any effort to actually be a club - investment in junior programs, sustainability for the long term.. every time we have been there their own players / fans don't even stick around (unless it's a GF). The solution seems to be buy a team. no doubt they'll be cock-a-hoop this year running around winning games.. but at what cost?
At least clubs like Central United started a kids program and are putting work in.
Brahma's only saving grace was that Westies were kicked, coz if they weren't I doubt Brahma would have a club.

No club in any division pays fat useless blokes - that's why they play C grade.
Harsh view on D7 though - standard does drop away sharply, but there are some handy footballers running around, and some fit younger ones.. just not enough of them across individual clubs compared to higher divisions.

Spot on, the top tier talent is pretty bloody good, I remember watching Terry Milera absolutely carve up for Marion a couple of years ago in Div 6. Same goes for Daniel Weetra for Para Hills the last couple of years

Bad assumptions??

The bigger difference is once you get into players 11-21 you are looking at C/D Graders at the bigger/more successful clubs like PAOC, TTG, Golden Grove etc, hence why they've been able to historically hold their own playing D7.
