When will we win our next premiership? (With poll)

[ThisIsJake]

I am completely satisfied with the current trajectory of our rebuild and I have no doubt that we will be contending in 3 years and hopefully win it within 6. I can imagine the club has the same kind of timeline.



And yes I am very very bored.

[Prestige Presti]

We'll be up and about in 2016-2019 as our core players reach their peak, whether or not we can extend that depends on Free agency and successful trading.

Knowing our luck, they'll change the rules to both free agency and father son bidding just as we're challenging and the Daicos brothers are coming through, nothing like the AFL messing with us.

As our list stands I have a lot of faith in it, we'll rise the next few years as our age profile does.

Damn it Presti

We base it on history it won't be for a long time.....................

I wouldn't mind seeing some improvement (beyond natural progression) before even contemplating top 4 let alone a premiership...

 

[Gone Critical]

We are back in the ruck so the question is speculative. I wished we had contended longer than we did now I hope we get back quickly . When you are in contention you have some feel for when you may snag a flag currently it would just be a guess. There are too many variables, how can we know if our kids are going to come on or our current stars last long enough for when the kids peak.

I don't see our kids being top class compared to some other lists so I hope we can do some FA and trade work over the next 1-2 years to improve the list fairly immediately while Pendles et al are still at their peak.

 

[Visions]

In my opinion, we don't have the skill set to be challenging for a premiership in the next 3-4 years. After that, you can't tell at this moment in time as it all depends on how well they go at drafting and trading in the near future.

I voted we won't win one with Buckley. I don't think the players will stick around for him. A new senior coach is in order to win a flag.

I'm shocked.

I'm pretty sure every man and his dog knows how you feel about Bucks. Completely valid opinion, but I'm confident he will prove you wrong.

 

[Tarkyn_24]

March 2015, then September 2018.

 

[THATSGOLD]

Had we landed all of Aish Dangerfeild and Treloar and I'd say we couldve make top 4.

We could add Garry Ablett Jnr and Snr in his prime to those 3 and we still wouldn't be in contention. A team of champions will never beat a champion team.

We lost the ability to operate as a team some time ago unfortunately and structurally we are a long way behind the top clubs...

 

[iGNITER]

2017-2018

 

[Kappa]

Probably when Moore Scharenberg Freeman Kennedy Grundy Broomhead Pick 5 are at their prime

So 3-5 years away

 

[Chilli Con Incarnate]

If everything goes well we could be contending for top four again in 3 to 4 years. There are a lot of variables to play out though.

Next season the development of players like Scharenberg, Grundy, Freeman, Broomhead, Kennedy, Moore, and pick 5 will tell us a lot about where we will be in the coming years.

1990....

2010...

Hmm, what's next in that pattern?

I'd say we are a genuine chance from 2017 on, let's face it we are next to no chance next year and the loss of Beams hurts us for a while too I reckon.

We do have a good young base of players though in the 18-23 range, so within 3-4 years we should be challenging again or we've made errors in recruiting in the time leading up to that.

 

[Manic Magpie]

I don't believe our list contains enough class to rival other clubs in the coming years. If we finish bottom 4 a couple of years in a row and get some quality players through free trade, we may have a chance by 2019-20, though we will have lost Cloke by this time. With the improvement rate of the new teams, I don't like our chances of winning a premiership. The question calls for a definite answer i.e We will win ... . Too difficult to call in my opinion.

 

[DaicosianMarvels]

3-4 years until we are a genuine chance for top 4.

Possibly in 2019/2020 we can challenge for the flag again which would be nice. At the moment were are not even a top 4 chance to consider u a threat in the next 2 years.

 

[Lord Wilberforce]

IMO it all depends on what happens with GC and GWS. If they get it right, we are in trouble. If they stuff it up, I think we might be able to nick one around 2020. I don't think Buckley will be the coach then though.

 

[domin8tors]

always lots of If's but's and maybes. But if our remaining senior players can stand up and get near their AA Form . and we can get games into our top 10 picks from last year we can perhaps sneak up in the next 2 years and steal a flag ahead of our time.

 

[Copeland]

I'd be very happy to win 2 in the next ten years, but I have my doubts.

 

[Bring_Back_Brad]

An injury free year next year and we are right up there as far as I'm concerned.
Don't underestimate the power of Pendles.
