Ha, maybe playing in front of big crowds like that doesn't really mean much to everybody? Maybe the "huge club" mantra is just something fans say to feel good about themselves? most AFL players are just happy playing in the AFL. Crameri's workplace was in turmoil and he was given a good offer to go somewhere else, under a boss he has dealt with in the past and likes.
As a comparison, we have also beaten Richmond this year and when it comes down to it we're only two games back from Essendon. That's not likely to change this weekend either with us playing Lions at Etihad and Essendon playing GWS up there.
Good call.
Hope Cram's enjoying his extra sheets.
