Just wondering if Azzurri lost young players with new coach coming on board and bringing back a heap of older players, effectively killing player development pathway to first grade

Makes it hard to attract quality youth

What do you think
If we are comparing Magic to Azzuri 20s, unfortunately Magic were a different class, but they did have dowse and a few others I cant think of that are Under 20 and getting regular first grade at Magic, Azzurri were down a couple of players who also were regular first graders at azzurri, but they were actually playing for the indigenous team against them, with one scoring a couple of the goals and the other a rock at the back. Indigenous only had three players over 18, wit h Hearfield, Swadling, and others to come in
