Loads of money, no debt, great facilities, resources aplenty, stable off field administration etc.
Too many duds still on and off the field. We keep them too long & don't take risks. (See FJ,Elton Struggled, Blair Hartley, etc.)
We have this former Port Adelaide 2004 premiership jobs for mates footy department. We still have old Francis Jackson still struggling to get picks in the top 10 right. A devolopment department that hasn't really developed a better footy player from what he was when he came. Sure Rance has improved but that might say more about him than the club. The proof is in the results across the whole list.
This club has lost its ruthlessness that demands results & they keep the status quo in the name of "stability".
Even if we recruit decent players we develop them into great administrators rather than ruthless footballers. That's all good if you want them to run the umpiring department but it won't win you a premiership.
As frustrating as it is that Treloar picked Collingwood ahead of Richmond, I don't blame him, I blame the soft, tepid, easy going, clean cut, politically correct, unchallenged, small minded, good to grandma & tame administration. We are a tiger without claws, toothless and SOFT!
Graeme Richmond would be turning in his grave.
