All that has to happen when and if a team gets promoted that have the ability to attract players. Its my belief that you will never have a strong even tier 1 competition if you don't have a 2nd tier competition which goes for 13s thru to 1st grade. Its a ridicolous statement 'Not enough talent in NewFM fullstop' because there doesnt have to be a 2nd tier competition full of players with the ability to play NPL. The promoted team will always add to their squads, having said that I dont think Lake Mac did this year and I think we can all agree they were more than competitive probably lacked a little depth to get themselves into the finals but for a majority NEWFM and community stream squads in all age groups i think they have done extremely well.
