Why do you think so many clubs, especially in the Northern suburbs are struggling so much. New Norfolk, Claremont, & also Glenorchy for that matter. Even add Hobart & North Hobart to that lot.
- IPads, PS5s, phones
- Drugs, Alcohol, Vapes.
- High- multicultural community (Glenorchy).
- Low-Socio economic areas that prevent starting the game (Parents can’t get you to games/afford boots, rego, travel and ultimately staying in the game (weekend work, shift work).
- Connection to senior clubs being strained or even different identities ( I’d personally become the bulldogs if I was Claremont seniors to align with juniors)
- Not many families can afford to live in North Hobart, Hobart, West Hobart hence the clubs have a diminishing community.
This is just me thinking.
