Body:
How’s this for departures over the last two years;
Clinton Alleway (captain), Tim Harvey (vc?), Daniel Breese (vc?), Trevor Batchelor, Andrew Buckenara, Steve Bailey, Ben Neagle, Stephen Kenna (3 yrs), Doug Scott, Andrew Pugsley, Chris Wilson, and with some of the boys, Rudolph, Weinert and McGlynn seemingly keen to follow Collins to Coburg, just who is left?!? Above is the core of a fairly strong side, that we haven’t been able to keep! Add in B&F winner Stephen Greene, VFL player disguised as a Hawthorn player, and there’s not much left. You can’t rebuild EVERY YEAR!
Sure we’ve made the finals every year since 2000, but a final 8 with 13 teams is hardly a great season. Very lucky to make it this year, and bowed straight out. Box Hill is always known as a talent developing club, but there’s a few of us who would like some results, some continuity, and we are on a downward spiral. I don’t want to continue supporting pretty much a new team every year! I’d like some familiarity with players from season to season, watch them develop over a few years. That’s what footy’s all about!!!
Anyway, I understand money difficulties and everything, but I would just like the clubs vision to be success first, development second.
Go Stangas!
