Id argue Voss was hired to win a premiership and not build a list and that adding established players to fill holes on your list was what most clubs would do when in the premiership window.
Agree with the principal, but my view is that we thought we were in a premiership window but were in reality not.
I know we got to a prelim final in 2023, however the list has been overrated - this result was an anomaly.

110% - i just wrote similar on another topic.

We went to the draft last year after losing a few seasoned footballers and then replaced them with the likes of Evans! 

And then we wonder why we went backwards.

Houston was exactly the sort of player we needed and word is he wanted to come to us. A reliable user of the ball. I bet he is grateful we said no as he may have a medal around his neck come years end instead of going on Mad Monday after the H and A season.

Or there's a lot of hand wringing about what is quoted when potentially he's not talking about anyone in particular.

“But I feel like we’ve got the right group of people at the club to really band together and stick together.

“And we’ve got your mob this week, mate, so it’s always a big clash, big rivalry, which usually brings out the best in both sides.”

Maybe its just a subtle message for TDK.

I'm not saying we should have kept those players but we didn't replace them. We went for youth and that means we have to go backwards to go forwards.
Agree, but I'm thinking the non chasing Houston was an error as he would have had an instant impact for us.
If we chased Houston, we'd be losing more than just TDK this season as he wanted plenty in terms of $'s.
