Is it finally the time for us or any other club to challenge the legality of the Salary Cap and National Draft. We have only ever been a success in a free market environment. I say we should challenge and take our chances, unless of course people want us to stay down forever.
Its time for free agency. We can go out and buy a team!

Ridiculous idea, we had the money back then, we don't now. All you'd do is put Collingwood, West Coast, Adelaide & maybe even the Hawks now at the top of the table. They're the clubs with all the money.
-
Yeah unfortunately Infamy is right. We are still in debt. Maybe an Arabian King can buy out our club.
-
Only if we want to look like pathetic losers to everyone else in the competition who can't get our poo together with the rules at hand that everyone else can so we challenge the rules themselves.
-
free agency has been the only way we have known how to get success. we aint going to get any success in a draft type system. we will stay on the bottom for years to come. the sooner free agency comes in the better.
-
What makes you think we the club's management would be any more competent in a free for all competition rather than the model we have now?
You really think we could compete with Collingwood, Whorthorn, West Coast Adelaide and Essendon in a system that does not attempt to even out the competition?
-
We might not be able to compete properly against those 6 clubs but atleast wed be able to get infront of the rest of the pack. the current situation will see stay on the bottom for years lads.

We can't get it right with handouts, how could we possibly compete in a free market
We're hopeless :'(

No were not hopeless ...north Melbourne are hopeless when it comes to money.. we have heaps of fans who have yet to become members because they have no incentive too. When the free agency dose come and it will members will be more inclined to join the club to help them get better players.. So i belive we should build bigger stands at Punt and do Friendly's during pre season and sell tickets to the games and play Nab cup home games there :D

North have no money, but they have been more successful than us for the last 30 years!

The rot at richmond started well before the salary cap and draft came in.
Remember the club nearly going broke due to a trading war with Collinwood? That was under a free market system.
