The very definition of outlier.
Sheedy
Roos
Clarkson
Pagan
Williams
Longmire
Beveridge
All snared their 1st flag inside 3-4 seasons. Then there are some exceptions like Malthouse who at least took the side into a grand final within that timeframe.
Thompson at the cats is the extreme exception. The list had been exceptionally built and they had a charmed father-son run.
And using Thompson : Scott as a direct comparison, starting exactly 10 years apart - we're due this year's flag then. :stern look

The 2004 draft they picked up Roughy, Buddy and Lewis with picks 2, 4 and 7!!
The 2005 draft they picked up Ellis, Birchall, Bailey, Guerra & McGlynn
2004 - bottom 4
2005 - bottom 4
We need to bottom out - it does not matter if its Scott or a new coach - we need top draft picks and we need to nail them.
