Just throwing this out there but should the NFL be held accountable for the calamitous results that has come from the junior metropolitan games. (Note this does not include the girls side who did well)
Not only did the NFL boys sides lose 11 out of 12 games they played, looking at the scores they were belted, some games they hardly scored. Voice piece for the NFL, the oblivious Simon Devine goes on to praise and congratulate the work done by all....should he do that or raise questions on why the boys sides where basically humiliated (score wise)
I have nothing to do with NFL juniors, so before anyone suggests this post is due to my son not getting a game its not at all. I actually had no knowledge they were on I just read the news on the NFL Web (http://nfl.org.au/2017-afl-victoria-metro-junior-championships-wrap/)
Can the local lads be that bad? Are other comps that much better? How can being up to 'Div 1' be that hard? Is there selection issues anyone has heard (I have in the past heard these things can be clicky but again I have never experienced it) Does anyone know if this is the norm?
I am sure there are resources being used at some cost to the NFL, should these results not put into question the people running it? If this was a business (which it is) I am sure there would be some questions at least raised.
