Things looking up

[Tiger74]

the fact that the pies are the highest spending football department might have something to do with it

they put the cash back into their club, rather than making 10 million dollar profits every year

This is spot on. Eddie said the other day that they have invested strongly off-field on revenue growth, but this season had a major focus on building the off-field dept in terms of training, staff, and facilities.

They are making $40m so they can outspend the rest on off-field. Profits for them are now only about re-investing in off-field revenue options, and they have enough that they don't need to maximize this as a priority.

i wouldnt mind if the rfc made 2 grand finals and a prelim in the past 5 years, id take any piece of finals action ffs

pies have done very well lately with a pretty ordinary list imo

Pretty ordinary list and a very favourable draw.

Good to see our club is doing its bit in regard to employment. Hope we're getting commission from employment agencies ;D
