Going on actual results it seems the Giants peaked around 2016 . Injuries in 2017 and 2018 are said to be the main reason for poorer results in those years even though we scratched into the prelim in 2017. More players have been offloaded this year without much coming back to this point in time, but as always there are unknowns and maybe the new players recruited in the next month will be able to step up.
Looking past 2019 it seems to me Kelly and Cogs have a high chance of leaving the club due to massive offers. Especially if they have good years. Considering they are both very good players it seems to me like 2019 may be the last chance to utilize the still abundant talent in the team. If the coaching returns to more of a scoring gameplan to utilize the talent in the middle and forward line I can see 2019 having a high chance of success even with zero new player input. Of course we would have to be lucky with injuries.
I know we still don't know how the younger players are going to come up in the next year and a bit but is anyone thinking beyond 2019 right now and thinking things aren't looking as good as they were in 2016 for the club? Seems like the club is at a critical point in its history and these next 12 months are going to be extremely important to the short to medium term success of the club off and on the field.
