How can you criticise other clubs for being foolish for throwing away money when Cowan was doing exactly that for the past 3 years with no league-wide vision in sight either? It's not like the delay in the reform process is the major catalyst for the league being in it's current turmoil.
And I'm sorry but "one Melbourne team" conspiracy theories just come across as sour grapes.
I don't think that anyone is saying the league has got it exactly the way they want it. The issue is that 8 (or 7) other clubs showed their support to the league while they ironed out a few things towards the end. The Dragons pulling out, then releasing a letter from the owner, then threatening a press conference, says more about their own selfish ways than it does about the state of the reform.
