Going out and buying ready made players to fill your 1's is exactly what St Kilda City did and just what you have done. Granted, you most likely haven't spent the $$$ that StKC did, and you didn't get ExAFL players, but buying a flag is still buying a flag.
When they pick your Grand Final side tonight, count how many players picked are 1st or 2nd year players at your club.I'm tipping it would be close to 16-18 players(almost your entire side).Of which I reckon half will leave as quickly as they came.
So what was the final count??? I spoke to one of your supporters and they told me it was 16 1st and 2nd year players. 16 blokes who weren't there when you finished in the bottom half of the ladder in 2009.16 blokes who I reckon will be gone by 2013.Guess where you'll be then??? Back to the bottom half of the ladder.......Better win the flag next year, window's closing........
