The Blooz are in one of the most precarious situations I can remember an AFLM team being in during my lifetime. And this includes Fitzroy and the Hawks/Dees merger.
With Tassie joining in 2028 and able to trade future picks THIS YEAR, theres THREE compromised drafts ahead.
What a great time to ship out their 2025 first rounder to Hawthorn.
Bottoming out now will lock the Baggers into years of misery. The draft’s about to get thinner, and they’ve got no lifeline. Besides sacking Vossy.
Sound familiar? Let’s rewind to when GWS and Suns expanded the AFLM in 2011–2012, sucking up picks and leaving some clubs stuck in the gutter.
Melbourne were a trainwreck—4 wins in 2011, 4 in 2012, 2 in 2013. Bottom four three years straight while GWS nabbed 11 of the top 20 picks in 2011 alone. Didn’t play finals again till 2018.
The Doggies bottomed out with 5 wins in 2011, and it took them 4 years to find finals again.
Carlton could have another decade ahead of bottom to middle wilderness.
