Sherman investing heavily is definitely the right term.
About 4 years worth of salary cap isn't it

Four years? Mate, you’re selling us short — we’ve pumped in way more than that.

With your knack for crunching numbers, you might be a perfect fit for a job with our major sponsor.
Reckon you’d look elite holding a stop sign.

Aaron Hayes has left Natte to return to his home club. He has been the A/C the last few years and the steadying influence down back for Natte. Total overhaul in the coaching ranks, wonder if they can sustain their success or if they will dip.

Seems like you follow the league pretty closely from previous posts.

I’d like to dig deeper on why you think the hawks shit the bed.

We beat carisbrook throughout the year by 7 points in round 4, lost to them by a point in qualifying final. Hardly a big swing.

Talbot beat Navarre convincingly throughout the year both times, but they were never at full strength.

Trentham beat Navarre by 86 points in round 11. Trentham then beat Navarre by 8 points in preliminary final.

Dunolly beat Navarre by 12 points in round 13 and lost by 57 to Navarre in elimination final.

Clearly Navarre were a much stronger opponent with a full strength team come finals time. There’s enough data there to suggest it wasn’t a bed shit.

Harcourt also went out in straight sets…. But no mention of them shitting the bed…

As Stats said, finishing second on the ladder and going out in straight sets, that’s a bed shit. Doesn’t matter about results during the year, they don’t mean anything and particularly in MCDFNL you can’t read into them.

You’re right, I didn’t say Harcourt shit the bed, but I did mention they’re 0/4 in finals over the last two years. Their bed was shat last year.
