I heard that west were offered tenancy of the magnificent Ford Park some years ago and rejected it. This would have been a chance to get away from Heid and Banyule and to form a junior base. The status quo means they will remain what they are .So what the solution Berty? Do we give them 50 points to play with over the next year or two as Reservoir and Lalor have been given this year.
The reason why points have become a challenge for West H this year looks to be two-fold:
- 8-9 blokes, who were on lower points and quality players, departed the club
- The under 19's JV with Banyule from last year has not continued or pushed through many kids this year.
Not sure of any of the reasons that happening this year, but when you lose players on low points and have to try and replace them with players on higher points it is challenging that's for sure. Good luck to West and I hope they can find a way through a tough situation.
