If there's one thing I've learnt during this trade period and even earlier in the year when we went after other players........we have a perception problem. An oldish club (playing list wise) that will soon start finishing at the bottom end at the ladder. What else can it be when your offering good coin to players that are on the move?
If you were a player on the move to another club and thought they weren't going anywhere for the duration of your career.....would you go there?
Only one way this perception can change.......keep playing finals footy. Even when Harvey, Petrie, Firrto, Waite and Dal Santo are all gone. The depth is there.....none of the names I just typed finished in our top 3 in the B'n'F.

The perception is there but its very very wrong.
