Subscriber only HAVING overseen a series of impressive playoff efforts in recent seasons, Bob Maclot knows 2021 could be his most challenging in years. However, the Ipswich Knights under-23 coach hopes the newly-introduced Football Queensland format helps his youth footballers progress rather than struggle. I m not a big fan of it (the under-23 structure) to be honest, Maclot said. I think it s a big step to go from under-18s to under-23s. It all depends how clubs use it. If clubs are using it for giving young kids development then it s good. But for a lot of clubs, all they care about is winning so they ll just put their older boys in and just worry about results for that year.
