I think if BA stays/or we get another good coach and keep strengthening the pack it will be easier to retain people and if we start getting in top 4/ finals it will get slightly cheaper

Yes that has to be the model we follow. Good players want to learn from good coaches and continue to develop. Lachie Miller said recently that Arthur scares him to death but he offers good advice. One thing he told him was to get a 7/10 every week as opposed to an 8/10 one week and a 2/10 the other. I think Arthur will bring consistency, ownership and hard work in a no nonsense way. That I think will attract players to the club and like what`s been said getting into the top 4 and challenging for trophies will attract good players both young and experienced.
