COMPETITION is fierce for spots on Geelong's VFL
list this season - and that's exactly the way new coach Dale Amos wants it.
A squad of about 30 local footballers from GFL, GDFL, BFL and CDFNL clubs are
training with the Cats in the hope of winning a berth and Amos said a lot of
them had impressed in their bid to step up to the next level in their careers.
Amos, a three-time premiership coach at South Barwon, said he wanted to use
his new role to encourage local footballers to have a crack at VFL football
every season.
"The strength of the local competitions has been proven in the last
couple of years and certainly the GFL has got stronger and stronger," Amos
said.
"So it's great for the young guys in those competitions to get the
opportunity to come down here and show what they can do at VFL level for a
Geelong-based side.
"The guys that are down here, they have certainly grabbed it with both
hands and have been extremely committed, turning up to training and training
really hard as well.
