I will give credit where it is due and our recruitment over the last 12 months as been as good as it can be...
We have had no money and went out and brought a lot of top line juniors to find the talent until we can offload the so called 3 high paid players.. we could of spent the money on more over the hill player for the sake of it but went this path and also upgraded some of the ones we want to keep. I truly think in about 2 years time we will start to seek the rewards but until then its going to be extremely hard to attract players with our finals record and the media bringing up past mistakes.. I cannot recall the media talking about us and how we are recruiting juniors and building from the ground up as that's a positive story and we don't want that :man-facepalming: .
I do however think we need to maybe lift the anti for JAC not just because he is a rep player but also to be the face of the club. The marketing / memberships alone would give you the money back and once 1 top player comes the rest will follow in time.. Gee we are paying Packer and Reynolds around 800k each and they finish up next year so surely we could offer JAC 750k as I think he will turn out to be a top FB and we will regret it for years to come..
