Which side is closer to a premiership - Carlton or Essendon?

[Mr.X]

Neither side is anywhere near close to contending for a &lag

 

[Crankyhawk]

Tasmania will win a flag before Essendon or Carlton

 

[Leeda]

The genius who allows both these dudes/drumsticks ….no awareness of victory

 

[garlic munchers]

You really should be more worried about what's going on in your own house mate. You guys are descending into Fitzroy 1995/1996 levels of bad now.

You can only wish you were WC now………..

Where's the option for merging the teams?

 

[Mighty Eagles]

Where's the option for merging the teams?

To quote kids these days, they’re “legacy clubs”.

 

[Gavin Excell]

As a child of the 1970s and 80s its weird to see these two clubs so bad and seemingly incapable of improvement

 

[Wraptor]

It's crazy to think half the people on this forum weren't even alive when either of these clubs last won a flag.
I remember when they were both powerhouse clubs.

huh? you think half the users of this site are people under the age of 31? or in essendons case, 26?

doubt it.

Where's the option for merging the teams?

commercially viable means this is as likely as North to win the next 3 premierships in a row

basically impossible

They can if they eventually get to grips with the poor culture and inept standards developed, as well as the poor drafting and player development over the course of the past two decades.

No.

 

[Blue1980]

The answer is obviously neither.

The Carlton Bombers, redevelop ikon park as our training facility and new home ground into Hanger with 120,000 seating.

Banish the wealthy cohorts to never be board members and let the juggernaut roll

 

[Crankyhawk]

We probably are going to have some nuffie reporter see this thread and go hey that could be used for a nice little clickbait article, makes the quotes vague “sources say” etc

Promote Coburg instead. Same colours, new name in AFL and a fresh start.

 

[scott2clarkson]

Neither. They both need a big rebuild

 

[timokane]

Blues are 4-5 years from making finals.
Bombers are say 5-6 years.
