And ballster ... Dude. You're not helping yourself here. Again ... Silverlakes. Again ... years ago. And again ... could you paint yourself as any more close-minded?
And yes, while you reference "logic" here (albeit in the context that your 04 daughter may well have used), it does come into play in my/our analysis ... 1) there are obviously teams in ECNL that would "dominate" (seems to be one of your faves) teams in GDA, and vice versa, and 2) the teams are not the same as what they were two or so years ago due mostly to physical maturity but also adds/drops, etc. And here you are, gettin' all emotional in your responses citing a "patch on their uniforms" ... Strugglin' Sir.
Again ... Very simply (and it's quite apparent that you and your buddies may be blind to it considering the success of this team over the past few years), they looked physically smaller and played at a slower pace IQ wise in comparison to what I've seen across the country in the top GDA teams in this age group. Coaching for a living myself and having kids in both of the aforementioned organizations tends to help me a bit when it comes to forming these opinions : )
Regardless ... It's been fun and hope to see ya out there (you guys don't the kiss blowing emoji but that's what would've gone here)
