I actually think Charlestown has done a good job of turning things around already.Their 14s and 13s are good and improving and they have a good crop of JDL kids coming through.Their TDs are doing just as good a job of who they dont want at the club as they are in recruiting new blood.I think Valo and Charlestown are the next 2 clubs to climb up the youth standings over the next few years.Adamstown and Lakes have initiated a similar rebuild but are a few years behind.Cooks Hill look to be starting a big reset from next year which will take time but if done right will set them on a similar path.Whether Charlestown or Valo are playing 1/2 year in Div 1 and half year in Div 2 wont matter much,They have good plans in place and i think they will be fine.
