Nothing was missed.
We put being a good club and winning premierships on the backburner. They weren't priorities then.
Are they now? Have we changed our tune?
Or are there just other new off-field activities that are priorities now? Eg alternative revenue streams.
No we still had winning as a #1 ,
I am pretty sure that Roo coming in sacking Sanderson before his contract expired and appointing Walsh was Not putting premierships on the back burner. s**t we played in a Grand Final last year
What the off-field stuff does is gives the club a different income revenue to ensure we have a chance in 5,10,15,20 years time. while still pushing today, What it does not do ensures we can keep the best players on the field, Even with having some of the best facility in the comp. But that's another issue that needs to be dealt with before 2019 season starts.
Remember around that time the club started to restructure, Made easy thru becoming out own club, leading up to what happened a few weeks ago
The forming a separate entity to look after the new off-field activity. But that has been discussed in another post,
