Bobby McKenzie 2,408 Posted November 25, 2011 Posted November 25, 2011 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.

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 !
BAMF 4,488 Posted November 25, 2011 Posted November 25, 2011 2 Premierships? yes. I would take it in a heart beat.
RedsoxMan 144 Posted November 25, 2011 Posted November 25, 2011 Maybe you need cards with the Suns, and GWS in them
Diablo Deemon 220 Posted November 25, 2011 Posted November 25, 2011 I would take one I just want to be around to see it.
Good Times Grimes 2,396 Posted November 25, 2011 Posted November 25, 2011 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.
Mazer Rackham 14,972 Posted November 25, 2011 Posted November 25, 2011 Except for the parts where Hawthorn, Collingwood, Adelaide, West Coast, Freo, Richmond and North win flags, yeah, I'd take it.
Mazer Rackham 14,972 Posted November 25, 2011 Posted November 25, 2011 Maybe you need cards with the Suns, and GWS in them According to the officlal AFL "omen" rules, half the deck has to be Suns & Giants cards!
Barney Rubble 1,576 Posted November 25, 2011 Posted November 25, 2011 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.
Range Rover 1,935 Posted November 25, 2011 Posted November 25, 2011 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.
My TD 156 Posted November 26, 2011 Posted November 26, 2011 Lets just get the monkey off the back with 1 before we starting talking multiples.
Striker475 696 Posted November 26, 2011 Posted November 26, 2011 I want us to go back to back. But more than anything, I WANT A FLAG!
Bobby McKenzie 2,408 Posted November 26, 2011 Author Posted November 26, 2011 Maybe you need cards with the Suns, and GWS in them 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.
Sir Why You Little 37,501 Posted November 26, 2011 Posted November 26, 2011 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.
Gorgoroth 13,220 Posted November 26, 2011 Posted November 26, 2011 I would take one, just freakin one!!!!!
Sir Why You Little 37,501 Posted November 26, 2011 Posted November 26, 2011 I would take one, just freakin one!!!!! A dynasty requires at least 3 raise your expectations man!!
RalphiusMaximus 6,112 Posted November 26, 2011 Posted November 26, 2011 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.
My TD 156 Posted November 26, 2011 Posted November 26, 2011 A dynasty requires at least 3 raise your expectations man!! Wasn't so long ago St.Kilda were sure they were starting a dynasty aswell . Lets just start with 1.
Sir Why You Little 37,501 Posted November 26, 2011 Posted November 26, 2011 Wasn't so long ago St.Kilda were sure they were starting a dynasty aswell . Lets just start with 1. St.Fail will never start a dynasty!!
angrydee 842 Posted November 26, 2011 Posted November 26, 2011 Each team had 4 cards - 18 x 4 = 72. Big deck?
Rogue 585 Posted November 26, 2011 Posted November 26, 2011 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.
Bobby McKenzie 2,408 Posted November 26, 2011 Author Posted November 26, 2011 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.
