No doubt that sturt have an impressive spread of coaching talent at the girls 16's level and this is excellent for the kids not able to make the one team. To have that line up to develop the larger squad would make most clubs envious.
Both Norwood and North have new coaches who will have their work cut out for them. Forestville and Sturt are poised to be very strong again.
One cautionary note for sturt and forestville camps might be the under achievement of both this year and in forestville's case, the last couple of years. Forestville have been full of SASI players of late and this season will see them with 5, 6 or 7 and if they can't crack it this year,it's time for the coach to take some responsibility for average results that many ascribe to him in both state and district levels. Time will tell.
Sturt for me the most likely to go top in this age bracket and excuses second, third and fourth.
In the 14 girls, sturt and forestville again, with maybe norwood and south somewhere around the mark. It will be interesting to see if the much maligned ex coach's group will fare any better against sturt with their new coach?
As for 18 girls, if you can pick the winner or even top 4 you're a great judge.
