An interesting test case will be Fremantle, let's see how they bounce back this year and what impact that has on them off field ( members/sponsors ) if they don't.
Yeah, who'd want to follow a club that doesn't play to the line? Whose primary goal is something other than winning? Actually, I dare say such an attitude would really piss off followers of other clubs in the competition.
What do you reckon Booney?
I'm gonna sit back, crack the top off a Pale Ale, and watch the Double Blues prevail
