We have won 1 Premiership in the past 61 years! 2 GF appearances.

Essendon, North and Carlton have won multiples over that period of time.

Brisbane are lining up for their 3 Premiership in a row and off the back of the past 3 GF's. They are able to attract Oscar Allen and Sam Draper.

Geelong have played in 6 GF's since 2000 with 3 wins.

All have 1st rate facilities and they consistently are at the top end of the ladder (except North, who also have second rate facilities) . Their players are better prepared.

They spend their time actually training instead of sharing facilities with soccer and rugby clubs, or driving for 90 minutes each time they go to Casey.

In elite sport it is the small advantages which make the difference. For us we are at a huge disadvantage each and every year.

Driving 90 mins to Casey, Who does? Do you know where each player lives. What about the ess players who live bayside who drive 90 min to Tulla?? Or the Geelong players who live down the coast and have to drive an hour up to to Geelong every day.
