And here we are again.
When is the afl community going to get over the generational concept?
Most of Sydney's gun players are in their mid 20s ffs.
It seems that at every possible juncture, people start looking for the next gun young side, or reasons a good side can't stay where they are. It happened in 2004 - Brisbane were still good enough to make a grand final and Sydney and West Coast were on the verge of a run of success - all the whisper was about the young geelong and St Kilda sides. Meanwhile the Eagles, swans, pies and Hawks were putting together premiership teams, and St Kilda missed out altogether. Cats lose a preliminary final in 2010, they're gone and the Pies have a dynasty at their feet. Hawks lose 2011 prelim and 2012 GF and they've cooked their chance. Look how all that worked out for everyone.
Can we just appreciate what is in front of us until it isn't there anymore?
