Id suggest we are pretty smart operators off field.
In 2007 we only had membership in the 20,000 in recent years we have improved in this every year.
Now we have around 40,000 members.
No pokies but also basically debt free.
Smart managment of cap space.
Nice facilities.

Probably never been more secure off the field in my 27 years supporting the club - that's why I don't get the Tassie call outside of the obvious trolling.
Not quite sure where the list sits at the moment with last 10 rounds of last 2 seasons been bad runs with injuries. Everyone gets them but key players have had 6-10 week layoffs in this time.
I think the best this list is atm is a top 4 at max output. What we can add in the next 12-24 months will define it further.
Was skeptical if the "aggressive reset" approach 12 months ago - but I'd be far more concerned if we limped to a 7-10 finish with Petrie firrito Harvey dal santo and wells propping us up and really on their last legs now.
The next phase is pretty obvious now with Thomas and Swallows best footy behind them and 1 year left on deals.
Goldy could go either way
But the hardest part is going to be finding a long term talisman to replace Higgins. We don't have a long term prospect to do what he does for us yet
Close finishes are an issue that needs to be addressed via on field leadership and a one way midfield which are weaknesses for us. Once again we'll see who can kick on out of this group and hit their KPIs next year and really contribute to helping us get to where we want to be.
Reality is we're a bottom 4 side at the moment - at least the current group isn't really close to their ceiling - and we don't know how high or low that ceiling is yet. Finishing with 87% is a silver lining but so much work to do ...
