From a club perspective, I get quite disappointed when our youth players don't naturally and seamlessly transition into our senior team.I think Reedie is doing a great job trying to solidify this transition but it comes with challenges. The culture is not the same as "back in the day", but dare I state, that isn't entirely a bad thing. There were aspects of our old culture, many alcohol related, that have to be handled with sensitivity today.
Our society offers a plethora of choices from commodities, to restaurants, to services, to schools, to sports and to teams. So many choices that it diminishes a person's fortitude to appreciate what they have and simply relish the substance of it and make it work. The greatest aspects of playing on a team is overcoming adversity collectively and meeting the objectives. That is lost in translation today.
Funny enough, it is the leaders within these clubs that originate from "the old days" that facilitate much of what we complain.
Tell you what, you take the collection of posters on this page, put them on an executive together, and you have yourself a pretty damn good club.
Great insight all!!
