i play for Lower, yet am sick of reading so much **** about us.
i gotta have my say though.
People have been talking about players we have lost. There is no doubt many of the young players that have left us would be great assets right now. Cookson, Galvin, Mitchell, Neill are all good players. But for various reasons they have left the club. Dissapointing obviously. Everyone plays sport for different reasons. Mitchell and Neill obviously want to play at the highest level they can, whilst Galvo and Cooky want to enjoy playing with mates.
But if i look at our current list, i cant think of one player who is there for money. I know a few of the younger fellas that could be getting more $$$ elsewhere, but want to play with their mates. There is not divide between contracted, uncontracted and under 19 players. Out social functions are great at the moment, some of our leading partiers have never played a senior game in their life, but it is irrelevant. We have a great bunch of kids in the under 19's, and the core of the senior side is young, and assuming everyone sticks together for the next 5 years, the club is looking great.
In the past the club may have focused too highly on "buying" players, but this attitude no longer exists.
