It's unfathomable how the powers that be at this club thought this list would take us to a flag.
Has left us in our worst position (list wise) since our draft sanctions.
..I don't agree with that, we have a finals side, possibly a top four (though perhaps just fourth which some years isn't much) if some of our players 'got it'.. ..as it is, it's more development (football skills and understanding and work ethic, as it is mental toughness and honest determination) than it is actual list build, which yes ought to be in better balance but plenty more is dormant in the list, it's just too many expect others to do it for them..
I just don't have such an optimistic view regarding our current assets.
We did have a window 2-3 years ago. When we made a finals run, since then topping up our list, poor draft choices, players not coming on and our quality players ageing has left our cupboards bare.
I see a lean 5-7 years for these blues. Floundering 8th-13th unless we are able to fix our drafting and development processes, which even then, would we start to gain momentum again.
..our chance to pinch a flag with Judd was lost when fev went fevastinko.. ..2011 gets talked up, and was our best season in about a decade, but we were still miles off being a flag contender.. ..incapable of more than three consecutive wins and two and a half games adrift of top four tells me that we weren't nearly good enough to challenge.. ..haven't been close since..
