Yeah, look. Even when playing better footy we bombed every marquee game opportunity so that's neither here not there.This year of shit football is going cost us in the long run.
We can kiss goodbye prime time footy goodbye. That makes it harder to attract money into the club.
We are in a crowded market to attract players. What is our point of difference as a club?
We don't have marquee games attracting large crowds.
We aren't a competitive top 8-10 side.
We don't get the prime time fixtures.
We don't play in finals.
"Come join a bottom 4 side and play 4.40 Sunday twilight in front of an empty stadium" isn't attractive.
This year is classic St Kilda shooting itself in the foot.
We haven't attracted a top end player since Sammy and Gtrain, so that's nither here nor there also.
If we're not a competitive top 8-10 side, well of course we wont play finals.
We never get prime fixtures anywar because the league favour a select few clubs that doesn't include us.
Don't go down that rabbit hole. There's nothing good down there.
