We aren't as good as what we once thought. While we are still a good team, we aren't as good as what the media (especially Victorian) thought we were at one stage (strong premiership chance).
We will be a premiership contender, and I think the next three years 04, 05 and 06 will be our serious tilts at the flag. We still have a lot of improvement to go, defence especially. The maturing of our tall forwards is coming along nicely (McDougall, Staker), once our defence sets itself (hopefully Glass and Gaspar will be able to hold a ship down there), we will be a pretty formidable side.
Although, we are definitely not premiership chances this year (hope I'm wrong).
