There was official complaints made about on field incidents that aligned with what was also happening off the field, the sort of stuff seen across several clubs this season unfortunately. The team had been together for quite a while and was probably the last of the old system that the club is moving away from.Originally Posted by Goatscheese
Rather than adapt to the change happening and accept the reprimand about behaving better knowing that the majority would have a chance in 18s next year, they decided to throw caution to the wind and hope they can integrate in new teams in time for next year. The club did the right thing and promoted a couple to 18s now and found clubs for others that didn't jump on the bandwagon.
From what I understand the club is attempting to set a higher standard of both football development and behaviour, that comes at a cost of shedding inappropriate coaching staff and is probably better off without players who think that kind of behaviour is okay.
I just hope other clubs can get on board and start to expect better from both their coaching staff and the players they have representing them, possibly that's expecting too much, but the game would be better for it I think.
