As someone who has been involved with Olympic for a long time, I’d like to address some of the comments on this thread:

Firstly, have your opinion on olympics tactics against MacArthur. Joel is paid to make those decisions and the club was proud of the way the boys acquired themselves. What I don’t understand is the issue with committee members wearing suits? These people volunteer countless hours into running the club and took pride in the club being on the stage. Not everyone wants to wear jeans and joggers to an FFA cup tie.

Secondly, cooks hill approached 4 Olympic 18s players before the season finished. 2 of these players would have been in olympics reserve grade in 2022. The other two were not good enough yet. I hope it works out for them, but name me a youngster that Tanch has developed in his years at cooks hill, Charlestown, jaffas? In total 6 18s players were promoted into reserve grade. The 18s coach was also approached by cooks hill but is staying at Olympic. The stories about Joel wanting one thing and the committee wanting another are false. Joel, the TD and club all contribute to these decisions. Plus at least half a dozen of last years reserve grade got opportunities in first grade. They can’t all be competing for a first grade squad….

Lastly, making digs at the heritage of a club is sad. So maybe save the borderline racist comments for somewhere away from public forums.
