Without North Adelaides help we will never know wether they would still be around. Assume what you like. History is history. We play for today dont we... and today CU are struggling in Division 7 whilst Greenacres are reaping the reward of hard work in Div 4... Jumped ship? I played 4 or 5 games. Sat the rest of the 2003 season out and cleared to Kilburn where I also didnt play in a winning game for 2 years.. Going to question my commitment or accuse me chasing glory next PG?
No would never suggest your chasing glory, just find it amusing you compares apples and oranges, and the fact you rate Greenacres so highly and CU you dont rate at all. Im merely pointing out a couple of facts.
Of course Greenacres wouldnt have knocked back NA, would be stupid. As for "reaping rewards of hard work" well come on wheres the hard work been? Influx of money to the club, Danny Ryan gets dumped as Coach of Kilburn and takes half the bloody A grade to Greenacres where they get paid excessive amounts of money and climb a couple grades - still without a flag! Classic example of BUYING success.
The only thing they have done right is manage to maintain players and recruit some more.
