I was told by a Norf supporter a few years back that they have a better list than us. Yeah, 10-88 is outstandingly s**t house in anyones language.
We were 4 from 43 when we sacked bolts, who seemed to think we were a development team outside of the AFL. The Teague years of being more competitive than that at least enabled us to attract guys like Martin, Williams and Saad. That wasn’t happening if we went another year or two doing what we were doing under bolts.
Basically what north have now is what we were looking at keeping Bolts.
