Although we've bottomed-out, and are now starting to improve, I reckon we'll be close to the bottom again next year. Some of our talented young players (Bower, Hartlett, Jackson, Aisake) are still yet to debut, and most of the rest have played less than 20 games. And even though you'd expect our first 3 very talented picks at the end of the year to play most games next year. It's still going to take at least 2 years for the team we're building to get sufficient AFL experience to really feel comfortable and be ready to compete and win consistently.

I'd expect signs of improvement to start to be pretty obvious by 2008. But I'd be surprised if we make finals before 2009. And you'd expect it to take another couple of years before we're ready for a premiership.

The good thing is that retirements aren't really going to hurt us for a long time. We've definately bottomed out, and with some more games under the belt, another pre season for this years recruits and some more young talent in the draft (hopefully including a gun player) we will make progress next year.

It's still going to be a long slow process, but it'll happen.
