I haven't been to a centrals game and have no idea the direction they seem to be heading, looks like after a few solid years they have decided to go with a youth movement following the recent success of their juniors. However playing juniors is a whole separate game to seniors, no disrespect to Sturt and even with a GF appearance last year, their dominance of juniors hasn't really translated to senior success. The argument that all their talented juniors head off to college etc doesn't make sense to me as surely they would have some returning every year. To be successful IMO, clubs open up the cheque book like Southern has this year, unless there's injuries or other commitments, they would be the raging favorite with Starling dominating inside and Creek head and shoulders above this league and Johns a great guard.
Recent rumblings up north seems there are some politics at play, will see if these juniors can hack some competition, it's up to the coach to how teams are picked, unless maybe you're a junior coach and like I said, politics start. Will be interesting to see if all the work that's been done in the last few years will fall by the wayside with movements and departures.
