It has been quite a number of years since we have been a really competitive unit at the state un18 level. This must be a concern for the development of our footballers. I would have thought with the structure and pathways put in place over recent times that we would be experiencing more success.
Are there floors in our current development system?
Are we selecting footballers who we think are more likely to be drafted (athletic ability) instead of selecting the best players available?
My concern with qld footy has always been it is a small pond and often it is easy for people involved in qld footy to be just as concerned about getting a name for themselves as they are about developing footballers.
Has anyone else been shocked by our poor performances at un 18 level over the last 3 or so years.
