That's the key, most of the squad have been together for a number of years now & play for the club not themselves. In saying that having a 1st team squad of 25 will certainly pose some problems with player management, but what a problem to have...jogger wrote:It's going to be interesting to see how Gardens and the Downs are going to keep all of these blokes happy. Some are going to be playing ressies, and seriously, how many of them are really going to stick around and play in the reserves comp if they want first team action. No doubt there will be some players walk before the season starts if they are no guaranteed a starting spot in the first 11.
Agreed Nuggett, it's a great issue for a club to have. Some will stay, others may be disheartened if players come in and take their spot and may leave... so long as it is in the best interest of a club for the long term then good on them... however there is a fine line between the short term and long term interests being served.KING NUGGETT wrote:That's the key, most of the squad have been together for a number of years now & play for the club not themselves.

It is a fantastic problem for these clubs to have as long as everyone is playing for the right reasons. Nothing better for a coach than to be sitting down looking at a list and trying to figure out how he doesnt have room for top quality players. If Gardens and Downs do manage their 'lists' properly it could be a cracker of a season! Who knows he might like the attention, why would he go to a State League Club?deigo wrote:John Velasquez still in talks with salisbury apparently.

Farm sounds like drowning rats leaving the ship. Why would you go to a club that has hair styles that look like drowned rats in Parafield.lefty wrote:Maybe another Farmer wants to become a Gardener
