Can Gold Coast win the flag within 3 years?

[Tiger Toffee]

They need to get out of the bottom four first, Brisbane have more of a future than this mob.

 

[Rod Stroker]

they said the same when Eade was appointed for 3 years

"he'll get them into finals and have them contending".

Did not even see out his 3 year contract.

Sure Richmond was given an arm chair ride to a flag after finishing 13th, so anything is possible. But the Gold Coast don't have the luxury of the MCG being their home ground and being gifted finals there against higher ranked opponents who aren't MCG tenants.

Your tears are delicious

Where’s Gold Coast at?

Spoon + priority pick/pick 2 compo for lynch next year would help.

How would that help them in the next three years? Might help them if they're looking to peak in 2025...

If you actually read my post instead of quoting just a part of it to support that comment you would realise i said 3 years was an unrealistic goal.

 

[Snake_Baker]

Unlikely

 

[TeeJay Blue]

If they continue to throw away valuable picks and players for peanuts, then I'm not going to take them very seriously.

Coaching and Management teams need to be solid and stand their ground more. Simply having kids on the list doesn't mean a bright future.

 

[Benny78]

Ummm

Yes

 

[LeverPuller]

If Gold Coast finish last this year they will likely have pick 1 and pick 2 in one of the strongest drafts in 20 years. That should help a bit.

Pick 2 from Lynch or pick 2 from PP?

I can see the AFL handing them a start-of-first PP. Thus 1-2-3.

 

[big_bazza]

Stranger things have happened, you cant deny the young talent on their list. Id say very unlikely to win a flag in 3 years but theres no reason they cant improve this year compared to last year and finish 12th-16th (well there is a reason that is the fact they dont play a home game until round 10 or what ever but that could be a blessing in disguise for the playing group.

Then in 2019 push for a top 8 spot or atleast top 12 and then in 2020 maybe top 6.

Id say in reality at the earliest 2021 they could be in flag contention but thats assuming everything goes right.

Anything is possible these days.

No way will they get a start of first PP. They wouldn't even give that to Brisbane who have been poor for way longer.

Plus there's no world in which losing Lynch even for pick 2 is a good thing. Lynch is the kind of player you dream about getting for pick 2.

 

[Schauermann]

Highly unlikely.

But three years can chance a lot, so not totally impossible.

 

[The Dice Man]

Any team in the comp can win a flag within 3 years if everything falls into place.

Even North? LOL surely you jest.

 

[Franc de Borges]

If you'd been on Mars for the last two seasons and saw the premiership teams you would think you'd come back to the alternate 1985, so yes, anyone can win it within three years.

 

[kreglze]

If we make finals in 3 years I will take that.

 

[Fyfster]

When they first started they were given the same concessions as GWS , It would be fair to say that GWS list management has been far better . I don't see their list management has improved , I mean Pick 2 for Weller (i rest my case )So for that reason no

 

[HTT]

3 years before 2017 (2014), the top 4 from 2017 finished 3rd (out in straight sets), 8th (out in week 1), 10th and 16th.
There’s no reason why they can’t.

 

[JT_the_Man]

Even North? LOL surely you jest.

I had Richmond bottom 4 last preseason.

Anything can happen.

 

[W. Smithers]

Will they still be in the competition in 3 years?

 

[Obeanie1]

Pick 2 from Lynch or pick 2 from PP?

Very unlikely. They are technically an AFL side who have had more low draft picks than any club in history. GWS started climbing the ladder and played two final series.

If the Lions didnt get any how can Gold Coast?

Can they win within 3 years?

No.

Change that to 5 and I agree with you.

3 years is a really short turn around if you are starting really far back,

Any team can make the finals within 3 years if everything falls into place, and can win a flag in 5

If they were given a PP i would be shocked . As stated before they have had more than their fair share of high draft picks and have squandered them

 

[Dirty Bird]

Yes
