Message: [QUOTE="Allo, post: 3374887, member: 8190"] While recruiting has been 90% hot trash, I really think coaching throughout the entire system has been a problem. Who is training our players for their position? Obviously players fit certain molds and have natural skill, but who is doing specialised training with each positon group? The loss of the single affiliation setup has been massively understated in my opinion. Now we have everyone outside the game day 18/19 spread across Brisbane and barely playing with each other, let alone the top 17. Bring back a single feeder and we'll start looking like our players know each other, and we can start having a certain structure to how we play across the board We have an academy right? We scattershot "contracts" to kids all over the state and then ... they just keep playing where they are until they sign development contracts and get assigned to a feeder club? I'm sure 1910 and co could expand on this sort of topic, but at least from the outside, it looks like these kids get recruited on natural physical talent - a step, being a giant, run fast, can jump high etc, and then left to ply that trade in QCup for a season or two and tossed into first grade on a hope and a prayer. What's being done to turn these kids into as complete-a-footballers as possible, rather than just athletic kids that are trying to play football? [/QUOTE]
