Unbelievable how they continue to recruit players!!
No wonder my club is at the bottom.
We lose 3 players to the AFL and are running on a reduced salary cap.
Norwood have recruited Johnston (North), McKenzie (Nth Melb), Talia (Swans), Hamilton (WB reserves) and Barry in the last 3 years IIRC - other ex-AFL players on our list were Norwood boys to begin with (Shelton, Grigg, Panos etc). We’ve lost a lot of well paid premiership players in that time too with more to come. My club has done plenty of stupid things over the years, but given the size of the target on their backs at West Lakes surely we wouldn’t be stupid enough to flout the cap??
You can play the victim card all you like, but your problems aren’t any other clubs doing .. The Bays could have done the same given their perilous financial state in recent times but instead they dug in and turned it around. Good example for all clubs.
didn't the council let the Bays off to the tune of around a mill??
