Maybe the only man we've heard say the truth.... 
if you believe that you are more dillusional than him.
Most on here with half a brain knew we were headed for no mans land after losing to carlton and perhaps even before that with decisions like matty thomas and 3 years to that dud knights.
They chose the monkeyball route because they simply dont have a clue how to recruit a descent player. That in their eyes was a shortcut to success, as hackson and his mates are the most pathetic recruiters in the business
Have you ever considered that they only tried to be competitive as they felt to get better talent they would have to finish down the bottom?
I'm not saying this is or was right at all. I'm just saying that they were deluded and thought they might do what Sydney did 10 years ago very successfully.
The point is the game has moved on. You need fast skilled players complementing elite inside ball winners and an attacking game plan. Recycled and rejected rubbish was never going to get you there.
Dan's comments paint a club that was too scared to make the hard calls which meant possibly taking longer to get to success. They were obsessed in trying to get as close as possible to their 3-0-75 target to avoid humiliation.
I actually think he reflected this mentality with his comments.
So believing them does not mean I'm delusional. I actually think not believing them means that.
I don't think the club at the time thought it couldn't recruit. Think about it. If they thought that FJ would have been shown the door. They were deluded in thinking they had a great recruiter and list manager (Blair). You are giving them way to much credit Angus.
