Will We Ever Win One?

[petmax]

Hi everyone, new here on Bigfooty.

When I look around at various threads and forums there is a general view from opposition supporters that Freo will never be a top 4 calibre team, let alone win a premiership contender.

Is this where the Dockers stand for AFL premiership chances in the future! (I hope not)

My view is that it is purely an attitude thing and that the club has the cattle to go all the way but on too many occasions we have too many passengers. I think our past fortunes can be turned around rather quickly with the right attitude and possibly a the different coaching style, if this happens I think we could be a contender for the next few years.

What are other Freo Supporters views on this?

No

 

[rgauci]

yes

Welcome Petmax.

We are not far off IMO so yes we will.

 

[Borry]

without hesitation yes.

Freo will eventually get there at least once, its just a matter of time, when we have the right mindset within all aspects of the club.

Well you'd have to bloody well hope so. Otherwise you'd question why we all bother.....

It also took them 74 straight losses before they got their first ever win so the similarities between us and the Saints aren't really that much.

I reckon we can we a premiership with the current bach of players. Just because some Port ferals, some Saints losers and some West Coast tossers don't think so doesn't mean we won't. They're just tools and everyone on here knows that.

I've even got 2007 marked on the calendar as a huge Premiership threat. I'll even bookmark this thread and bring it up at the end of 2007 to see if I was right or wrong.

Don't worry petmax, our day will come!

I'm quite confident of winning one in my life time (and they way technology is advancing that could be a long life).

Given that all clubs cycle through almost all their players every 10 years or so, saying something will "never" happen is a very bold statement, IMO. Even allowing for a club culture taking longer than that to change, things can still change quickly. If you'd asked around 10 or 12 years ago, I'm sure there would have been plenty of people who had their doubts about Brisbane ever achieving much too.

Do I believe Freo will win a premiership some day? Yes. Do I believe it will be in the foreseeable future (say the next 5 years)? Not so sure. Probably not in fact. Do I believe we will make the final 4 in the foreseeable future? Yes.
