While the members have been great and supported the club thru all this, you have to wonder if their patience is being tested and whether this will have long term off field ramifications.

I think they'll struggle to get people on board when it's a second rate side they're fielding. Surely this will send them down with Carlton for some time.

382 new members signed since this morning. I think we will still get around the 50k mark but not the 60-70k we would of hoped for. Will be a fair few years at the bottom but hopefully some decent draft picks and free agents over the next 5-10 years will get us back

Carlton got all their number 1 picks on the back of cheating.
The AFL will not punish us further, at the end of the day we still make them too much money for them to cripple us further. The AFL is all about $$ and they admitted in hindsight the Carlton penalty was too harsh.

I don't agree with Carlton getting their #1 picks on the back of their salary cap indiscretions, but that is a different debate entirely.
I agree with your last point, doesn't make it right in my eyes, but we agree to disagree.
