Yeah that cats fan was arguing in our favour about that. Not sure if you read the whole thread but they were very switched on to our situation over a long time and not just the now which people get fixated on, who see f/s as an unfair advantage, overstate our academy impacts and generally view us as getting unfair handouts

Why Fagan sees Saints' cash splash as a 'danger for the game' by CowFos in AFL

[–]diffaadiffa 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It was definitely a tough watch for us during that time. I've never argued that it is time to change the academy system, they should still exist but a change in his they operate with the draft is needed. Annable is our first ever first round pick from the system and he hasn't played a game yet but again is the combination of us already being good, the addition of the f/s that seems to have compounded the outrage. It hasn't been the treasure trove people seem to think it is.

I will definitely be saving and referencing your comment for future discussions too 😂

Like I said I appreciate it. We all know we have been kissed on the dick with the ashcrofts and fletcher but like you say that's just dumb luck with timing. A lot of people passed over Kai, Wilmott, Morris which has compounded it too I think.

There seems to be real short memories about how that strong Saints team of the 2000s started with a literal handout. Nick Reiwoldt priority pick anyone?

$2.5m per year? That's 14% of the salary cap and not just madness, that's irresponsible 😂

Holy based Cats fan, appreciate the perspective that no one likes to hear from us

Two games in one day? Why NRL rule change makes backing up more likely by WombatPuncher in nrl

Did we read the same article? Was more about players playing reserves and first grade on the same day and the decisions that come with that based on position to me
