Most certainly if they don’t win at least another flag with this group.
Let’s go over just why they face adding this notorious accolade to their long list of fails after we judge the premiers this century.
Essendon almost achieved the perfect season but then came up against the almighty 3peat Lions in the 2001 decider. For that the Bombers are well excused of being called ‘underachievers’.
Brisbane - nuff said.
Port of 2004 beat one of the greatest teams of all time to win their first AFL level flag but then went crashing to the biggest loss in GF history in 2007, tho in their favour they did come up against another one of the greatest teams ever assembled. Still the most massive underachievement we’ve seen from a recent premier to date.
Sydney and West Coast played off in two of the most ‘edge of your seat’ GF’s B2B winning 1 apiece.
Whilst neither list achieved much more, both clubs went on to play more GF’s & win even more premierships in close proximity to those flags proving their winning culture to be completely unaccepting of ‘underachieving’.
The Geelong core team of ‘07 won 2 more flags after being written off following 2008. Massive overachievement.
Hawforn of ‘08 threepeated soon after to erase any thought of them being labeled ‘underachievers’.
Collingwood’s recent history has seen them playing 4 GF’s but only losing half of that. Hardly an ‘underachievement’.
Doggies of ‘16 weren’t even expected to win A flag till forever so are definitely considered more like overachievers.
And then we come to the Tiggs of 2017.
Win with what they like to claim as “the most dominant finals series this century” (but in reality only played a washed up Geelong, a rookie GWS side in Melbourne and then a completely undermanned Crows squad AGAIN at the MCG) and go completely apeshit becoming widely regarded as the most arrogant champions since the Italian World Cup squad of 2006.
Steamroll everyone in 2018 and sit on top of the ladder all year entering the finals as RED HOT favourites.
Revert back to being LIKE THE TIGERS OF OLD & choke spectacularly in the prelim to Collingwood (which is yet another reason the Pies can’t be regarded as underachievers).
Enter 2019 again as unbackable faves to win the cup. Booooring.
With all this considered if these Tiggly Twinks don’t jag one more premiership with the extraordinary home ground advantaged, armchair draw they annually receive then they honestly are the biggest underachievers since Poort 2004.
