Great to see Springs and Birko in yet another final and still stand head and shoulders in my opinion above the others for youth development and bringing youth through into senior football. Developing players with heart, grit and determination, rather than entitled prima donnas who expect to win and throw a tantrum when they don't. 

Yep nice to see Springs & Birko at the pointy end of another youth tournament but are they genuinely developing these youth players or are they just better at persuading everyone else's talent that they are the place to be for whatever reason?

How many were guest players in these squads (I have been told the key boys up front for Birko were from Fencibles and Ellerslie??, Whilst in 2016 it was 2 boys from Melville, Waibop) and beyond the guest players how many in these 2 squads have been at these respective clubs for more than two seasons?
