Nice. Great news.
I assume we sign players to the reserves team, like other standalone clubs do.

Yes, I was interested in where we get top ups from when we are one or two down. Northern Knights or a different league perhaps?

Made worse when we shifted the reserves coach to an office on the opposite side of the ground to the senior coach.
* we made some poor decisions

Can we get Plowman to captain?
This is one of the most crucial aspects of sustained success

I sure hope so. You'd love to see it. Will help with travel arrangements interstate at the very least.
The new format will be interesting as well, will be good to see the young prospects of the northern afl teams play in a stronger 2nd tier comp. We will all get a better look at them recruiting wise.
I'm not sure if they've announced any details over the comp, but I'd suspect it might be 22 games, play everyone once and maybe a rivalry double up - just so its 11 home 11 away, and northern clubs can have an away game in their own city. Maybe we will get to play the Bullants at PCO every year
Thank God. We avoided a thesis!
Maybe things will start turning around positively now? about time.

Will be sad to not support the Bullants...
It can get quite windy at Southport, but not as cold fortunately.
Finally!
Been asking for this a long time. Go Blues.

Clubs, ours in particular, should rejoice at this initiative. The largest take away/opportunity for me would be to have the chance to adopt a, for want of
a better term, supplementary list to support the main club. Rightly the AFL is looking a trimming the lists to some degree. This is fine, providing a mechanism
is in place for safeguards against prolific injury, as well as a development path.
While a couple of clubs are not going to be "stand alone", the vast majority are. Expecting a staggered trimming of the main lists, perhaps by two in each of
the coming seasons, there needs to be opportunity to retain access to mature back up types as well as the opportunity to trial a couple of kids, especially
those with a degree of affiliation. The impact of covid putting dozens, if not hundreds of potential players in limbo is going to take at least a couple of years
to balance out. Our potential father/sons this season are, most likely going to be left in limbo. An opportunity to offer opportunity to the boys to strutt their
stuff and be under our banner would be ideal. Imagine having a Simmo in the wings nurturing the youngsters, a break glass KPD like Goddard, or a reportedly under committed BSOS with a demotion wake up call(I remain certain he has the ability). One that occurs to me would be the chance to add Joshua Cripps a young KPP/ruck who would likely have been on our radar if he played this season and have some call on an "automatic" list addition next year while working on his development for a season(obviously dependent on not being picked up in the draft). The scope to place an LTI like Kemp on that list and replace with a supplementary would be perfect. Surely this would be looked at.
Our list management team would be so very torn at the moment as the moment of truth nears. Players like Macreadie, Polson, Moore, Phillips, even Kennedy
are waiting on final calls. Do we keep semi developed types? Do we draft more promising kids and start the process over? Do we top up with a DFA or two to
safeguard positions lacking depth KPD and ruck the obvious. Having half a dozen spots (arbitrary number) to juggle a couple of extras outside of the cap would be ideal.

I think I read earlier that Sam Mitchell is head coach of Box Hill and the head of development, it might be a trend, what better way to be across development than actually coach the kids.

A really positive step forward.
Will the AFL standalone/affiliated clubs just crush those without an AFL connection though?
I can't imagine a team of amateurs is going to be able to compete with a team that could comprise 18 pro footballers and a few top ups?

Surely we'll now be playing all our home games at PP...obviously...right?
Much better for players, staff, supporters....just about everyone, actually.
