This is the thing. The powers that be at our club have an operating system completely different from rational people.

It's a mixture of arrogance, incompetence, indifference and complacency. They are not do-ers. We are not good enough to lure the best people to deliver success.

They are employed to talk and mimic success with the mere incidental chance (and at best, hope) of delivering it. It's all about selling hope and managing the club til the next collection of inevitable failings results in a clean out.

What is rational about talking an AFL player whose just won a premiership into leaving that club to play for the club he supported as a kid who just finished 13th on the ladder.
Makes absolutely no sense to me....
