They have many roles and are crucial to football clubs. Playing wise they put pressure on senior players to preform every week which makes the seniors play better. They allow senior players who are returning to fitness or struggling for form to have a run. But for a club to remain financial they play a vital role as its another 22 blokes who pay there subs plus they are the blokes that spend all there cash on piss when the senior game is on. Rotation policy is the best way or else player numbers drop off leading to less numbers at training, functions ect.Let's talk footy for a second, a couple of questions for general discussion.
1. What is the role of reserves in a footy club?
2. How important are reserves to a footy club?
3. What is the role of the reserves coach?
4. With too many people, is it better to have a rotation in the reserves or pick the best team every week?
I only need one of kuta and BigRich to answer.![]()

1. role of the reserves is to develop up and coming senior players but in most cases it is generally made up of older guys at the stage of just having a kick for fun who wont make seniors a few good young kids then a group of guys who arent all that flash trying there hearts out to get a kick.Let's talk footy for a second, a couple of questions for general discussion.

I agree with all that you've said. I think role-wise I meant are they there to win the twos flag or to push for spots in the ones. For example, there was an article in the Sun today about VFL clubs and trying a young bloke (Harnett I think) at the Northern Bullants at CHF instead of Digby Morrell when the game was on the line. Are reserves there to put promising ones players in key spots, or to put the best option there to win every game, if that makes sense.They have many roles and are crucial to football clubs.

Agree with your answer to 3 in particular, especially with a lot of younger guys like we have who haven't played much.1. role of the reserves is to develop up and coming senior players but in most cases it is generally made up of older guys at the stage of just having a kick for fun who wont make seniors a few good young kids then a group of guys who arent all that flash trying there hearts out to get a kick.
2. reserves are very important especially if they are playing well to put pressure on the senior team so that seniors players arent going to be straight walk up players if they arent preforming.
3. reserves coach should be a bit of a mentoring role, abit of a teacher to help those guys along who are struggling help teah the game.
4. Too many ppl the rotation system is a fair way to go but in that you would always want to keep your core of better players in the mix and rotate those guys who are boarderline reserve players but then the no train no play policy kicks into. that is all
These are very philosophical questions FrankenPLATO.Let's talk footy for a second, a couple of questions for general discussion.

Over and out? LOL! Nah, just thought I'd see what people thought, and it seems particularly pertinent considering both the VFL situation in the AFL and the Parkmore situation in the SFL. If for no other reason, the ressies are important because most clubs need them to stay in the league! Parkmore is very lucky.Oh please give me a break with all this crap,Frankenfarter don't look behind you i just might be there watching you tomorrow beware of the enemy. That is All/Over and out![]()

G'day all you hacks from south yarra,
how do you rate our performance on the week end? what did you guys think of both the matches? Who do you think were south yarras best players?
I think it's about time you guys pulled you fingers out because the season is slipping away from you spuds.

I'm pretty sure he means ours, but I disagree with him, Skye weren't that bad... As his comments apply to us though, he's probably right for the period of the game he watched.which game are you talking about?
