They are making up the numbers but aren’t rebuilding - worst spot to be. We’ve been known to frequent this position in the past decade

I think we are talking to exactly Shane SavageGWS should look to pick up some bargains or some experienced players like Shane Savageetc, to replace those they've lost. They have plenty of top-shelf players and plenty of draft picks, so they need some experienced guys who can plug a hole or play a role for a year or two and fill out the team.PLAYERCARDSTART5Shane Savage

Apart from Cameron, most of the departed players were fringe 22, or at least not amongst their best players.
One down season doesn't necessarily break a team. They were consistently deep into finals from 2016-2019 so I don't think it's wise to write them off.
Look at Richmond and Geelong- Geelong in 2006 had a down year after a couple of years of making finals. Richmond likewise in 2016. Both teams started a 3 premiership dynasty after their down year.
I'm not suggesting GWS will win 3 flags, just saying you don't write off a team based on one season. And actually, GWS went further from 2016-2019 then Geelong did in 2004-2005 and Richmond from 2013-2015.

You are correct, we need a couple ready to go role players.
Events are showing OP to be on the moneyI posed the exact same question to the BF public on the eve of GWS's preliminary final victory over the Pies last year (click here to see that thread) and the notion was quickly shot down as rubbish with the thread getting locked pretty quickly. Now it's time to revisit the question. Two pretty questionable losses to North and the Dogs in the last two rounds has led to the Giants currently sitting 12th on the ladder with a record of 1-2 and a very difficult fixture against the in form Magpies coming this Friday night. The Giants could very well find themselves with a record of 1-3 after 4 rounds and possibly fall into the 14-16 range on the ladder if results don't go their way. Following the Collingwood game, the Giants face Hawthorn at home and Port Adelaide away. There are also growing rumours about significant GWS players like Jeremy Cameron potentially exploring their free agency options at the end of this year.
So, let's try this again. Is GWS's premiership window on the verge of closing?
It’s more like there not winning a flag with this coach ! give Ross Lyon that list they would be top four next season the talent is there just no structure or game plan whatsoever no accountability eitherClosed.
They're not winning a flag with this group.

I like your sense of humour.I actually think Leon Cameron is the man for the job. List needs a complete rebuild though like North have done.
Can't blame just the coach their best players are not playing good enough.It’s more like there not winning a flag with this coach ! give Ross Lyon that list they would be top four next season the talent is there just no structure or game plan whatsoever no accountability either
I kept getting told this group will win 3 flags years ago by the knowledgeable footy brains
Remember when the Giants and Suns were going to have a monopoly on flags for a decade?

Do they want to keep him?Arguably their best midfielder Josh Kelly also happens to be a free agent this year so they would really want to get things going soon if they want to keep him.
