100% serious. How could such a newly established club (from a seniors perspective, anyway) come from All Age to ID3 and then compete in ID1? It would almost be unheard of. Considering every other club in the comp has had years building their squads and azuri will have had all of a few months (considering they will now need a third grade), it would take a miracle for them to be competitive. Building a club takes years, look at Raymond Terrace for example. Surely azuri couldn't achieve in two years what it has taken Terrace to do in 15 and westlake to do in about 20 years? And especially considering I have heard they are basically self funded and only use players within their own squad to coach, manage, run the admin side of things etc etc. There are no old, experienced heads on their committee, apparently they are just run by a group of mates. Ive heard they dont pay players so surely they can't attract any decent players. The only thing they seem to do well is run a facebook page and dish out banter.
