and maybe even a third straight IF they can keep a healthy list. They effectively had Shiel, Cameron, who's one of the best forwards in the game and Mumford out. They took it to the much fancied Tige's on their home floor for two and a half quarters. Now with two prelim finals under their belt, they have that big game experience. that is needed for future battles.

Next season they'll be cherry ripe. They'll be more mature, more battle hardened.

There's no stopping them now. The juggernaut will be unleashed in 2018 and in all likelihood they'll 3peat.

Not the most outrageous claim I've heard. Of all the sides you'd pick to go back to back, I'd say either Adelaide next year or the GWS double in 18-19. How do they do it?

1. Start playing with some more Dog in them. Get antisocial.
2. Up their work rate. This isn't U/18 TAC CUP where you can get away with running one way.
3. Get dynamic up forward. Patton and Cameron might be too too heavy. They need a small forward.

Tick 3/3 and I'll pick them for the flag.

They missed a huge opportunity this year in an open field.

There is something seriously wrong with GWS. The talent they have it's obscenely superior to any other club. They've been around long enough that their talented youth have played 4 seasons of footy and should be delivering.

It's just not happening for them. And they're just about coming back to the field in terms of the draft pick advantages. They still have a lot of talent on the fringes that they'll trade for decent draft picks, but that fountain of draft picks is slowing to a trickle.

They need to get rid of that shit prick in the backline with the tats... burnt everything, gave away silly frees.

Johnson gone... big plus. Lobb is soft. Deledio almost pointless.
Maybe they should chuck that 'shit prick' to a team that's offering picks for him.... like Fremantle?

I can't see it. Where is the improvement going to come from?

Hopper, Taranto and setterfield still have significant upside but you can't expect any of their other young guns to get much better. And they're looking like losing Devon smith and Matt Kennedy this trade period.

Plus mummy and shaw have hit the wall. So I wouldn't be counting on Deledio or griffen offering much either after having lengthy injuries
