    Fair enough if true. I mentioned the other day that we could do a North and have trouble getting the targets

    I'm more than OK to keep looking at players wanting to come for the right reasons.

    There must be enough blokes to flirt with us before knocking us back in the past decade to pick a team from now, surely?

    From what I understand he has informed those he won't be going to and that includes us.

    Except for the whole 'winning trophies' thing. The last decade we have won 4 and North have won none.

    Not sure what you mean?

    We have the same luck chasing big names as they do.

    Cmon now we've won one. AFL players dont care about VFL or AFLW.

    No doubt, but it doesnt seem to make a difference for us anyway.

    Big crowds, big games, big clubs thats what players coming to melbourne want.

    No big name player has cared that we won it, since we won it. With our age profile after 2016 you'd think some good players chasing the liklihood of premierships would've chosen us. But it's not really made a difference. Even our age profile and turn in form suggests good things happening. Not even that and more money could convince Martin to join us. Whatever the precise issue in us being over looked post 2016 by really good players, onfield success and higher wages aren't making up for it as yet. Can it solely just be 'big club' status and perceived crowd sizes?
