well done - several years now of strong results

This 14 girls team won everything there was to win this season. National title, Victorian title, National Classic title, Eltham Dandenong tournament title. Great job to all coaches and players and a great example of the Bulleen Boomers development program

If you had a choice of one title from the above which one would everyone choose. Congrats to the girls as well.

Development program what a laugh!

its funny isn't it Anonymous. 4 Vic titles for Bulleen plus nation title. Don't you think there is some development going in down there? If you aren't happy with your child's development go to one of the other clubs who are so successful
In their development that they are winning championships

I think what Anon 2420 was implying was that three of the players in that U14 squad at Nationals came from other clubs this year so to me it looks like a combination of smart recruiting and good development. Regardless, they are still the best team in the country.

Actually you can only have 2 players from other clubs transferring in from the VJBL and no disrespect to any player but these players were not the dominant players in this team. VJBL titles in multiple age groups indicate there is a good development program in place across the club

Over the last few years just about every first team and large percentage of second teams have qualified for VC and they seem to be sending more teams to VC finals and nationals than any other Victorian based club.

Just my perception?

Anon 2437 call a spade a spade you are way too polite. Not smart recruiting, just blatant poaching!

Tigers and Bulleen are renowned for it! Then they go on about so called development that has happened at other clubs. So so pathetic!

There is no poaching at Bulleen. Players come to us because they want to go to nationals or want to play in a better program than they are currently playing. It makes me laugh that people think a couple of imports make the difference when there are 8 other players that have been developed through the Bulleen program. People are always going to come up with reasons for other club's successes. Why not just say well done and try and improve your own clubs development so players want to stay.

Why not just fess up and admit you poach?

Keep accusing. Provide some evidence. We don't need to poach, we are good enough a club as it is. Same as Dandenong. Boys go there because it is a good program. But no matter what the reality is, people will continue to take pot shots at successful clubs

True, they don't need to poach, kids even travel from Tassie to be a Boomer!

Anon's.

The poaching accusations are boring. It could be that Bulleen poach, but maybe they don't. It is unlikely that they do it in a club-wide orchestrated manner as Anonymous is suggesting.

But he said/she said ain't going no where....

From another parent at another club good on these group of girls for there success. I would love for my children to play at a club who is successful. However if I have to travel past two other associations I can't see the point. So develop your children wherever u might be and enjoy there development.
