Battle for the spoon?

lakes are signing some big name players, this is familiar from a few years ago, splashing the cash only for the funds to run out and get relegated?
Nothing wrong with spending cash imo. Provided its sustainable.
If a club is living beyond its means, then I think it is grossly irresponsible and they deserve the consequences.
These aren't exactly game changing players
They are if they are playing 035’s on a Friday night if they add Berlin in.
This league has real issues developing young talent if at 37 Maj and 40 McGuire are still seen as good pick ups. If this comp was developing enough quality kids these guys would all be in reggies helping the young kids coming through or playing Friday nights.
Or are these guys just that good no kid could ever replace them
Love those boys. But in this town, your 'name' and not your talent on/off the ball is what gets you far
Correct and Broadmeadow Magic will undoubtedly benefit from this 2021.
Newcastle Olympic and Charlestown Azzurri both introduced youth last year and appeared to benefit with places in competition finals 2020.
Maitland Magpies seem to be leaning more towards youth for 2021.
100% right Froggy. How Lakes think this strategy of buying 35-year-old plus players is going to work is beyond me they’re purely there for one reason. It’s highly unlikely they were playing the full allotment of games through injury and fatigue this was evident when Valentine followed a similar strategy under their previous coach in the past few years and they never finished higher than the boot on two or three.
Adamstown 2-1 Weston
Magic 2 Maitland 0
