Under 18 State Squad - Alarm Bells

I have to say the announcement of the Under 18 State Squad is very disappointing for Bloods' fans.

The make-up of the squad is:

Eagles -8 players

Central - 7 players

South - 6 players

Glenelg - 5 players

North - 4 players

Sturt - 3 players

Norwood - 3 players.




West - 0 players.


Our junior results have been poor for some time and this doesn't engender confidence that it will change soon.

And this is what we're relying on in lieu of solid recruiting?
The question has to be asked - why is there such a dearth of talent across all grades at our club?

It’s a real worry.

I’m struggling to understand the strategy of the Football dept, which is to promote juniors when clearly we don’t have many good ones coming through.

Nothing to worry about,
Our Head of Football said that we are going to back in our young players and develop them.
