U/18 Comp is destroying VIC teams

[Ext User(gF)]

When will they realise the U/18 comp
and drafting the bulk of players from
that comp is what is dragging the Vic
teams down.

They play in a coddled environment
and learn nothing about playing hard football
get these kids into the VFL sides at 16
and have em learn a mans game

They spend too much time being king of the
heap in a boys game when they should
being being pummelled by the AFL fringe
dwellers in the VFL.

The I/State sides use their 1st and maybe 2nd pick
Adelaide 4 U18/SA/SA/SA
Brisbane 4 WA/QL/QL/SA
Fremantle 3 U18/WA/U18
PortAdelaide 4 SA/U18/SA/SA
Sydney 3 U18/WA/WA
Eagles 3 SA/U18/U18

out of 21 picks 7 were U18 the rest not

Carlton 4 U18/WA/WA/U18
Collingwood 5 U18/U18/U18/U18/U18
Essendon 5 WA/QL/U18/TA/QL
Footscray 5 U18/U18/U18/SA/QL
Geelong 5 SA/U18/U18/SA/SA
Hawthorn 6 U18/U18/U18/WA/U18/U18
Melbourne 4 U18/U18/U18/U18
North 4 WA/WA/WA/SA
Richmond 3 WA/SA/WA
StKilda 4 QL/VI/SA/VI

45 picks 22 from the U18s

The Vic sides will be perpetually re-building
a "youth" policy because they are too afraid
to look at a 21yo from the VFL etc that 20 years
ago may have got a chance!

Get rid of four Victorian clubs and you'll be competitive again (once your
teams get used to six interstate trips each year).

SSSHHHHH! Quiet. Don't go telling 'em the truth. You should know that they
can't handle that. Let 'em keep thinking that it's all because of those
horrible salary cap concessions or the fact that the umpires favour
interstate teams or that Jupiter is in transit through Aquarius, anything
but face up to the truth.

Jupiter is in Libra. It's the little constellation that's chased by the larger, greeder constellation of Scorpius... (Get away from city lights and you'll see the 4 Gallileaon moons just through ordinary binoculars.)
