Every year they have bled high quality players. Treloar, WHE, Adams, Boyd, Hampton, etc. and lost salary cap concessions, and still improved markedly.
Doesn't matter though

They have the capital to continually regenerate whereas someone like Hawthorn doesn't (sold the farm last year). Plus their massive academy advantages (thankfully been reigned in a bit).

Not to mention they're a destination club for older blokes looking for a flag now (Griffen, Deledio, Stevie J etc).

Such an impressive win from the Saints. GWS looked like they would just steamroll them in the second half but the Saints pressure was incredible and didn't give them an inch. Huge future in front of them, especially when you think that last night Riewoldt was almost invisible and Montagna was solid but not crucial to the win.

West Adelaide Bloods, Man City.
probably not bad for us long term to lose this one
besides 4 points this means nothing. we were always going to drop one and i'd rather lose this than go to like etihad or the mcg and have this happen.

hopefully some blokes get told they're not as good as they think they are and hard work, not bullshit footy got them to 6-0.
