I don't know which thread to post this question in but this is pretty close so I'll do it here.
Say our approach to gaining players (treating draft, trade and free agency as mere tools none more valuable than the other except for the particular player opportunity they present) is correct (which I believe it is) and it works (which I believe it will). How long until other teams catch on and join the party? Unlike BF which resists every innovation like an old granny taping the radio dial to 3AW late night, I think teams will try to catch up fast.
I guess you could say that our Dingley facilities are the club staying one step ahead and moving three (or is it four now?) years before anyone figured out a large part of why they were building Dingley (destination club).
