The Next Decade; Would you take this if it happened?

After a footy card game with the kids, I shuffled the pack of cards( each AFL team had 4 cards)and dealt out 10 cards which was to determine the premiers for the next 10 years.

Here's what happened.

2012 Premiers HAWTHORN ( Good chance I would reckon)

2013 COLLINGWOOD( Good chance as well)

2014 MELBOURNE( Hopefully, a distinct possibility)

2015 ADELAIDE ( Maybe it could happen)

2016 MELBOURNE( Don't know what happened in 2015)

2017 WEST COAST

2018 COLLINGWOOD( Again! Grr, stupid cards)

2019 FREMANTLE ( May happen eventually)

2020 RICHMOND( Its been a long time coming Tigers!)

2021 NORTH MELBOURNE ( As above).

So there you are as the cards call it. Would you take it? I certainly would.

    In a Nonosecond ! 2014 and then 2016 - that's getting into that dynasty area ! 2015 was obviously a Premiership hangover - nice problem to have !

    2 Premierships? yes. I would take it in a heart beat.

    Maybe you need cards with the Suns, and GWS in them

  • Quote

    Since we haven't won in 47 years, I think the majority of Demons supporters are like-minded in that they just want to see one premiership in their lifetime. Anything more than that is a bonus.

  • Quote

    Except for the parts where Hawthorn, Collingwood, Adelaide, West Coast, Freo, Richmond and North win flags, yeah, I'd take it.

    According to the officlal AFL "omen" rules, half the deck has to be Suns & Giants cards!

    I'm not greedy.

    I'll take one, followed by another and another and................another.

    I saw 1959, 1960 & 1964 all whilst at school.

    I haven't seen one since I started working.

    I have now retired so bring it on.

    Wouldn't take it. Let nothing limit us this decade. Firmly believe, as my sig suggests, we can win at least three of the buggers over the next nine years.

    Lets just get the monkey off the back with 1 before we starting talking multiples.

    yes badly

    No, it wouldn't be right for them to be winning a premiership in their first 10 years. Let them wait their turn just like us and the Bulldogs. BTW, I made another shuffle of the remaining cards and the Demons are due again for yet another premiership in 2023! That's 3 in 15 years. Won't deal out any more as there is only ONE Demon left in the pack.

    I will be happy with 5 flags in the next decade. That will take our tally to 17. Fcuk the Bulldogs they owe us one.

  • Quote

    I would take one, just freakin one!!!!!

    A dynasty requires at least 3 raise your expectations man!!

    When was the last flag again? OF course I'd take it. I'd take one flag in the next decade. I just want to see Melbourne lifting the cup.

    Wasn't so long ago St.Kilda were sure they were starting a dynasty aswell .

    Lets just start with 1.

    I'd take two. Bird in hand..!

    Seriously, no premiership since the 60s and you wouldn't take a guarantee of two premierships in the next 10 years? Bizarre.

    Each team had 4 cards - 18 x 4 = 72. Big deck?

    No only 16 x4= 64. No Suns or GWS in this Deck. AFL card game about four years old.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons are back at the MCG for the second week in a row. They face the Suns off a 15 day break without their prized recruit and former Demon champion Christian Petracca. This will be a massive test for the Demons who will be facing a genuine Premiership contender. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Carlton

      The text messages started flooding in shortly after quarter time. One read: “Is Melbourne even at the ground?” Moments later, as Carlton’s Elijah Hollands kicked the first goal of the second term, the Blues held a commanding 43-point lead. By then, the Demons’ only score was a behind kicked by Brody Mihocek nearly five minutes into the game. Ironically, Mihocek would also register the last minor score of the day after the game took a dramatic turnaround.
