Why does it matter if we are the Northern Blues or the Carlton Blues in the VFL?
Preston have no money, they have low expectations and live and die based on what senior AFL players they have available. They will accept whichever coach we give them and currently play the same brand of footy as our seniors which is half the reason they get cut up so badly.
They also don't play their blokes ahead of ours and we tell them where when and how to play.
I.E. No ruckman aside from ours. It's been that way for years.
The above is a double edged sword too, as they then use Watson in the ruck when he is not going to ruck at AFL level because Warnock is done and there is no one else coming through but that's as much our fault as it is theirs.
This discussion is often brought up but we struggle because we cannot get our club functioning properly and I don't see what having more teams to manage will do to assist with that.
