WE really need a link team between the youth and 1st team, even more important if we do get promoted.
Isn't that supposed to be an Academy or is that you're referring to under Youth team?
what used to be the reserves, they seem to call it U23 now
O.k. but thought we had academy status but at the lower level which really needs sorting if we want to produce our own good young players.
Trouble is that when we do, there is too big a gap to the first team so they get released.
Also, to get the higher academy grade there is a ridiculous amount of requirements that are very hard to fit into any space on Portsea Island. And then, if you do unearth a gem, the prem sides have given themselves the right to take them off our hands.
