Exhibit a/ Leaves a Grand final winning side in 2013 to go to the glitz and glamour that is magic ........ currently in 2015 still in U17 at Magic ( next year who knows )
Exhibit b/ Leaves a Grand final winning side in 2013 to go to the glitz and glamour that is magic......... currently in 2015 playing first grade Kahibah ( next year knocking back a NPL seniors gig to stay playing "first grade Newfm )
exhibit c / Stays at club he won GF with, plays U17 in 2014, then progresses to U19 this year and gets offered a NPL seniors contract with same club for 2016 knocking back first grade at three New FM clubs.
Exhibit d / Stays at club he won GF with, plays U17 in 2014 then finds women, surfing and work commitments and doesnt play ...
All kids are at the moment only 17
Point is, who knows where kids are going to go, mostly influenced by parents thinking little johnny is ronaldo, the paths will cross, some will stay loyal to their club, some will trophy hunt, some will "think " they are going because they are really that good ......
