As a development side, the NBs are a fail.
As a standalone club, with the aim of winning flags, they are also a fail.
So what is their purpose, and why aren't they being resourced and funded accordingly?
Every strong club at AFL level is strong at the second tier. The Muppet's that run CFC can't seem to grasp that singular basic fact.
Agree with this, Northern should be a focus or a standalone team.
Why do we not put in place a plan to win the VFL premiership? Would that not be beneficial for the development of a young list? Why would we not offer Daisy Thomas a guaranteed contract on the supplemental list (rookie or alike), and have him as a playing line coach for Northern? We should be offering contract deals in the same way that Williamstown does for ex-AFL players to strengthen our list.
Our kids should be good enough to displace them or have to tough it out for a spot. If they cannot, then they are not going to be long term players anyway.
