Where do you think we'll be after 65 years in the AFL? we are currently tracking towards 1 flag in 30 years

Well that’s hard to tell, one thing I can guarantee you is I won’t be around to see how that works out.
My point was using Collingwood as some sort of marker for success is laughable.
Yes they won last year but they are not a successful club over time.
If your going to go down that road Hawthorn are a much better example as a successful club.
They have won flags in the 60’s,70’s,80’s,90’s and 3 times this century.
The Collingwood love is astounding when you look at how many times they’ve failed on the big stage.
Now to answer your first part I’m not expecting premiership success for sometime.
We are a Constipated Club that needs a total clean out.
If you want true success over a long time you must have successful people running the show.
That is our number one problem.

North in front of Carlton but who we gonna get.

 

[afl2004]

Carlton and Melbourne easily beatable

 

[Powertron]

Sydney and Brisbane to lock in top 2 from here. At least one of them is in the gf if not both.

I'm getting excited at the prospect of the top 4 being all "interstate" teams.

Sydney,Brisbane,Fremantle and Port?

 

[yepits2020]

Sydney did us no favours.

Teakle is going to play 100 afl games.

Teakle is going to play 100 afl games.

Because he kicked a goal from a soft free?

AFL to hold a crisis meeting if it happens.

 

[It Just Is]

Teakle is going to play 100 afl games.

I highly doubt this

Nice of the AFL to give Carlton two goes at Norf this year.
Guess it’s fair as they finished so low last year (preliminary final).

Looks like two goes at Port would have been easier looking at the score atm.

4 touches today, can’t see another club picking him up.
Also can’t see norf keeping him for 5 more years.
It’s a longshot

Looks more like a carbon copy of our game last night with a similar margin at the end.

How wonderful that norf have taken our traditional jumper and incorporated the design as their own. Meanwhile down at Alberton...

Norf are hanging around better than I expected or maybe Carlton ain’t that good?

 

[JakeNeadeFan]

Umpires doing a great job getting Carlton across the line. Looking forward to similar treatment next week.

 

[PAFC66]

I assume no fine for Carlton then

They won't need the umpires next week against us lol

Brisbane coming good at the right time. My favourite.

And yes Sydney have lost 4 games this year - for a total deficit of just 10 points (Richmond by 5, Dockers by 1, Saints by 2, Lions by 2). Which makes the commentary tonight of that friggin lazy FoxFooty commentator Montagna that 'Sydney have come back to the pack' look just ridiculous. Look past the stats sheets and the W/L columns you idiot...this is a team managing its season pretty damned well.

But the Grand Final being played at the MCG gives Carlton and Geelong an effective home ground advantage if they make it, despite being nowhere near them in terms of consistent high performance.

The umps did North no favours at all. When the game was in the balance all the 50/50 calls seem to go the Blues way.
