By far the biggest failure was not committing the $ to the footy department.
Way more important for a young list than the senior coach.
We actually spent less on the footy department than any other club. Utter madness and that is all on the AFL.
We should have had more development coaches than anyone else, more off-field mentors and teachers than anyone else, and more high performance, training and medical staff. Instead we had less of everything and had to change the high performance team every year for the first 4 years.
By a few reports we could have had Neil Balme on board for an extra 50k or so a year and instead we got a rookie in Ashcroft.
We have finally got the $ to outspend every other club on development and off-field mentoring. This year. Finally.
Gee Mr Big Bucks Gillon, wonder why that is? Do you think that is important for a young team in a football frontier? Why wasn't it important 9 years ago?
Gill? Gill? Hello? Oh sorry, you must be composing a long response with no answers. Start with "I am really tall and therefore I get promoted easily."
