Meh.... If my dockers have to settle with 5th to 12th placed finishes so be it.Cripps may have 4-5 years, but with rapidly diminishing returns.
do you see enough improvement in the youngsters to more than just neutralise that natural decline of your older stars.
Thinking about next year, you would need to make the finals, which isn't obvious, AND avoid the likes of Hawthorn who have gone screaming past Carlton to god-knows-what level they are on their way to. Hawthorn would already win by 60+ points if they played today, and just wait for another year of development at Glenferrie.
I'm afraid I'm seeng 6th-10th finishes from here until the Cripps/Weitering/McKay/Curnow generation fades away.
I don't know the solution, maybe a coach that can get this team outperforming rather than middling?
Whatever it is, it needs to happen now, otherwise will go down as one of the most talented teams never to really threaten.
