?? Not sure what are you trying to say?
There were plenty of recruits at the club when Hilly was coach ( though it could be argued whether they earned their $).... and Levy was president then!
Yes the club changed tack somewhat last year to focus more on building through the success of its youth (and Murdoch's appointment was meant to compliment that) but that doesn't necessarily mean not recruiting. We have a great crop of local lads in the squad with two of the best going around in Brown and Iljcesen to lead them, but of course the club is working hard to gain some key recruits to fill deficiencies.
Most people are smart enough to realise that paying the RIGHT players is the key- but that isn't always as easy as it sounds.
Seems to me the scenario is usually more like Joe Irekonicanplayabit comes along saying he'd like to play for Victor but he wants $x0000 a game to which we say no sorry. Happy to have them on board but not for the ridiculous sums they think they are worth. Then they sign up at one of the neighbouring clubs.[emoji383]
I don't mind big $ being paid for a few quality recruits but the $ paid to guys that are just average is crazy.

Guys like Grocke, Ebert, Mieklejohn get big coin but have big impacts. Not always on field but they are worried about by opposition and coaching impact is huge. We got 120 goals out of 3 local lads under 25. Ebo would have to take some credit for that

Must have been some serious milk prices that year. A knock out local comp would be great. Would your mob get a side Dogs?
