Welcome to the off-season.  As per usual our off-field operation let's us down once again

I just don't see how you can blame our back office for this. In the past, sure they've been bad, but the uncertainty makes us such an undesirable location for anyone looking to build a career. 

We've been proactive this year, appointing a coach and starting recruitment very early. Without knowing what has occurred behind the scenes its impossible to know if the Nix could've/should've done more.

This makes no sense.  Most of our players last year were only on one year contracts, didn't stop them signing with us.

Right. And how many didn't sign because they wanted 3-4 year contracts? How many are we missing out on this season because they want 2 years? Now all we can realistically offer is a 1 year guarantee - why would any promising Australian player want to come here? 

I'm not saying we've done well, its just that we simply do not have enough information about why players are leaving and not signing longer contracts to make any sort of judgement. Unless you know far more than you've posted here, its clear you're talking out your ass.
