Better :lol:

if you didn't poach players you wouldn't even have a team

So? Welcome to Professional football. Buying a winning team is certainly better than having a whinge about how players are being paid too much.

sorry but a professional football club should be actually doing something for the game by developing juniors

without juniors league will die

it seems your club are doing little to help the game grow

Because the AFL is really dying without Junior Districts tied to clubs. Or Soccer...

It's rocket science for some. RL in Sydney is about the only place left in the world where pro-sports clubs are tied to a district and expected to fund that district. In most other sports, juniors are centrally administered, thus saving a truckload of cash through economies of scale and the reduction of duplication of roles. Amazingly, such a system hasn't existed in Brisbane since the 1920's and the game is in rather ridiculous health up here!

players leave because of threads here :lol:

sure buddy

I'll clarify for you dummy. You whinge when you lose a junior but in the same breath you are calling on you club to sign all sorts of players. You can't have it both ways.

Yes we are, we're giving them a go in 1st grade which your coach is unwilling to do.

Keep sending good old Wagon and Lowrie into the fray and give them more money. The juniors are happy to be playing reggies on pocket change:lol::crazy:

yes

and please tell me what exactly this forum has to do with player recruitment and retention :?

Nothing with player retention. Pointing out the fact that there's a lot of eels posters who don't consider there juniors to be of 1st grade quality hence wanting to "poach" players from other clubs.

Why did your club extend Lowrie's contract, upgrade Finch's keep Wagon in 1st grade ahead of signing your juniors.

It's one or the other, you can't have it both ways.

errrr Menzies has been playing for longer then Hasler has been coach

King and Watmough also debuted before Dessie was coach

so that's a grand total of 1 :lol:

So what, that doesn't alter the fact that we have 5 juniors in our team. I'm talking genuine juniors but we also have Mattai, Afamasaga, D Willaims, Michael Bani, Shane Nuemann, Jeff robson, Ballin
