Icing on the Three-Peat Cake

[Big A]

Reflecting on our great B2B and with it us lucky folk now being able to bask in the sun of a golden summer, dreaming of the ultimate glory of attaining a three-peat, what more could we possibly want with it for the cherry on top?

1. Luke Hodge wins his third Normie
2. Will Langford wins The Brownlow
3. We have 12 AA players playing in the Three-peat
4. We obliterate the Bombers (albeit reserves) by kicking an AFL record score and record the AFL greatest winning margin with it in Round 2
5. We have 5 young up and comers playing in the three-peat - i.e. Hartung, Jed, Sicily, TOB and Jermaine
6. Considering the above 5, we are able to trade 2-3 players (eg Suckers, Puopolo, Doc etc ...just an eg!) that have incredibly been overtaken (now excess) to land us picks 1 & 2 in the draft, thus our window of domination continues unabated for the foreseeable future
7. Jermaine wins MOTY and GOTY in the one play in the Grannie which is etched in history never to be repeated. His goal after the siren to win it to boot
8. Cegs, Sicily & Gunner have a three-way tie in The Coleman Medal - each kicking 75 goals
9. We win what becomes the all-time best Grand Final ever coming from 4-5 goals behind to snatch it with the match-winning goal after the siren
10. Bruce, aroused, and besotted by our incredible three-peat feat, proceeds with the all-time most famous Grand Final commentary to spruik (in Bwucie voice) "this team, this incredible team, against all odds, have produced the greatest feat of all time in the history of our great game. Look at them, crying, from sheer happiness, from ecstasy, I just want to, well, I don't know if I should, but, I just want to cuddle them, don't you?"

Although I'd love all of them, I'm realistic, and will go with the champ Hodge captaining us to a three-peat and B2B Normie, and with it becoming an immortal. I'd like to think we'd create a statue of him and place him next to John Kennedy at Waverley, or the AFL may even place one of him at The G.

Now this is a proper off season thread. At the risk of mozzing any chance we have of thee peating, I've voted for 5 of our young players having breakout years.

If Anderson, Hartung, Woodward, O'Rourke and O'Brien all had break out years, it will be too much for me.

Backing it up with a flag in 2016 will be the ultimate icing on the 3peat cake.

 

[Gold Member]

Or Essendon goes into liquidation.

Or Sydney...

 

[tommyk72]

Why only one!!??

HodgePodge Lethality would have a stroke.

 

[Whirling Dervish]

Brendan Whitecross, premiership player.

 

[WWSD]

Jack Gunston: Coleman medal, Best & Fairest, Norm Smith medal and Premiership.

 

[Philch]

All of the above and probably below as well.

 

[Stranglers]

Went for the come-from-behind win. I was considering voting for the "Hodge wins Norm Smith" one but I think it would be terrific for Mitch to pick one up.

 

[madhawksfan]

Whitecross to get a premiership medal, Cyril a Norm Smith and the tears from Cats supporters.

 

[Dinsdale]

Dislike Poll as I could only select 1 option

WhiteX for Premiership Medal - imagine the cheers and tears

 

[Hawkinspired]

Brendan Whitecross, premiership player.

Far and away this is at the top of the list. Couldn't care less about how we get there, although a record score against the bombers in round two would be a close second.

He's such a great clubman and it would be a shame for him to play through this era without a medal.

 

[MrFujiMoto]

Would love Swiss to get a medal, deserves one no doubt. Hell why not make it the Premiership / Normie double. I would also love it to be against the Swans or Cats

Poll created in jest following a spirited chat over a few too many reds...

Poll options were some of my own considerations and a lot to do with our young players. Too many options to list them all, such as we break gwm in a gf over cats/syds

Shoulda left it open for peeps to suggest their ideal scenarios.

Would be great if somebody could contruct a better suited one

 

[PenAndPaper]

Mine would be for Hodge to win a brownlow to further enhance his status as the best ever #1 draft pick

 

[Roddy]

Tears from ALL other envious out of their minds supporters....

 

[Seagull Supremacy]

Whitecross AND Schoenmakers getting premiership medallions would do me.

 

[Hawkk]

Surely Adam Goodes must be involved in this somehow?

 

[cryptor]

Hodge winning another Norm Smith medal.

A lot of opposition supporters seem to be over Hodge winning BOG medals so it would tickle me to know how much some would hate that.

Would also serve to put Hodge clearly ahead of a few more great players.

 

[Todman]

I think Jordan Lewis winning the Brownlow is more likely. If he form continue next year, he be a good chance. He polled late in the medal this year. The Umpires have finally noticed him and giving him the cherries.

 

[JoeHawk]

How about $ydney to miss the finals. But hey, funnier things have happened.

 

[Changa10]

Surely Adam Goodes must be involved in this somehow?

Well pointed out Hawkk , how about Rough slamming Goodes in a Hannebery like GF tackle that sees Goodes subbed off!

Bad idea.
Roughy would end up in jail for race crimes.

 

[Hawkas1988]

Brendan Whitecross, premiership player.

This this this!

I really really hope I see him up there with a medal around his neck. He has been cruelled so badly and his attitude and positivity has been incredible.

He was one of our biggest shining lights in 2012, he was set to become a really quality player. I hope he can get back to where he was, time will tell. If anyone deserves some luck and a premiership medal, this man does.
