How so?
They brought in 2 x experienced 1st 22 players to strengthen their chances in 2015.
By using FA to do that, they lost nothing long term as they retained 3 x picks in the top 40 - 1st, 2nd and 3rd rounders all in tact. They lost Greenwood but he's 25 so that does not really harm their future.
They recruited for the now and for the future - I thought they killed it.
It does harm their future. They have a lot of guns that are getting on now. And i don't think they recruited for the future. They recruited for a shot at the flag in 15 or 16. they miss out in the next 2 years, they will slide
Harvey, Petrie, Waite, NDS are all pushing 30 or well past it
Higgins is injury prone (as is Waite)
They have put their eggs in 1 basket. they need it to pay off now or it will be a struggle.....
