If they actually do it properly instead of trying to prematurely buy their way to the top they might be a chance.

When you say "do it properly" the most important thing is to still surround talented kids with a great developmental environment and a huge part of that is having the right character senior players on the list who will show them what it takes to be a quality AFL player.

 

[Mr.X]

They are genuinely looking at another full scale rebuild.

list is definitely at a turning point.

they’ll get some value from TDK and JSOS departures, and a deal could get done for Curnow

been too long since blues have been relevant, nearly a generation of not contending.

Did they contend in 2023 because they did well to beat Melbourne in finals who finished top 4.

Interesting because I've seen Carlton supporters say they were a contender in 2023. Were the Giants a contender in 2023 because we also finished outside the top 4 and won a couple of finals much like Carlton we just got closer to winning our preliminary final than they did.

Short answer, yes but it was less obvious due to less media

You guys actually built better during the year, we used a whole bunch of petrol trying to make up for our disastrous mid year slump.

We were spent by r 22 you guys were getting better

If the AFL didn’t screw you over on Daniels you would’ve almost certainly made the Grand Final

We probably would have won the flag from 7th with Bulldogs 2016 umpiring.
