Years
5 spoons
13 bottom 6 finishes
4 final appearances one a token
No preliminary final experience
There is your proof we overate our list
We lack pace so we recruit 3 establish players who are quick give up picks and salary cap space and the presumption is we will be ok
Firstly, past history does not give an accurate presentation of our current list.
Your little stat shaming exercise would be similar to what Richmond's was before they went nuts and won 3 out of 4 flags. By your logic, tigers had a crap list because it was crap in the past. Doesn't make sense.
Finally, all the other negativity aside....our recruiting actually targeted areas of need...
and filled them. When was the last time you could say that?
As for cap space... you have to pay someone. Your list analysis says we lack talent... and you don't want to pay the new recruits... so who are you paying? Gotta pay someone, might as well be new recruits who fill a need, rather than the hacks who have given us nothing over the past 20 years.... right?
You can't have it both ways.
