Why did people think GC would automatically dominate the comp?

[Footyfan85]

high draft picks guarantee nothing.

It was silly to say so at the time and still is. 5-10 years of domination. Haha what a joke

 

[Testekill]

Only show any fight in junk time.

High draft picks yet to reach their prime as footballers guarantee nothing, yeah.

Let's see if we're singing the same tune when these same players are in their mid-to-late 20s.

Will they still be at the club?

Back in 2010 people were screaming that in 5-6 years Gold Coast and GWS would be dominating the AFL.

How bout you add something useful, rather than re-post a thread for the 4th time this hour that wasn't even a good thread in the first place

Why wouldn't they be?

Back in 2010 people were screaming that in 5-6 years Gold Coast and GWS would be dominating the AFL.

Most footy fans are very impatient and have a very unrealistic view of the development/life cycle of a footballer.

 

[Kram]

People are morons.

 

[Sherrinator]

They are playing first year players when players that have played seasons are in the NEAFL.

Eade is tanking.

 

[Procrastinator35]

G.W.S are in far better shape, list wise, than the Gold Coast....When you're a one man team, then what else do you expect, when that one man is playing with one arm!

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

I don't want to alarm you, but a lot of people know s**t about football. That's why.

 

[blitzer]

We thought they would have a fit Ablett and O'Meara. But yes I think that really GC did not end up with anywhere near the amount of high draft picks that GWS ended up with. But still time will tell if they end up dominating in the future. I definitely think people jumped the gun on the timeline. Experience does count for a lot.

GC seem like a team built around 5 or 6 truly elite talents. Whereas GWS seem like a whole team of very good talent's that don't rely as much on any one player. But who knows - until these team mature a bit more its a bit early to judge. We are only 2 games in this year.

1. Are you trying to get a record for creating threads?
2. GC are closer to a flag than Geelong.

 

[kreglze]

Footyfan85 your obsession with Gary Ablett and the Gold Coast Suns is worrying...

Highly doubt you would've said this back then. Whatever. Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

I don't think either are close at all

I said it all along to whoever would hear it (and wouldn't)

 

[clogged]

Why wouldn't they be?

Why have so many players left Melbourne?

I said it. Same with GWS, they may win a flag; just like other teams.

Neither are a lay down for it.

 

[Captivating]

The have a s**t coach. His supposed mentoring of Buckley shows that the game passed him by. Useless

 

[The King!]

Mum said they would be

Still if they get a decent coach, who knows.
