So every team has a premiership window?  Or rather the club will be at its peak in the year range specified, which may lift one or two clubs to ninth...

I think he premiership window just widened with the recruits Brodie Grundy and Lachie Hunter quality players who if they play at their best will help us win at least another premiership.

 

Unfortunately, I read it. Possibly the most pointless article ever written.


Gold Coast’s window must be into an alternative universe where they don’t perpetually suck. 

Considering the reigning premiers went into the grand final with an average age just shy of 29, and almost all of their best dozen on the day were older than that, I'm going to suggest that premiership windows are a little bit over-hyped.

Gawn to get his fourth premiership in his 300th game. You heard it here first.

 

Didn't even read it to know this is the biggest load of [censored] I've ever seen.

You mustn't read Lord Nevs posts.


It’s about time sports journos added some more realtor lingo to the football landscape.

Surely we are in more of a Bay window versus Geelong, who are clearly in a porthole by comparison.

As for Gold Coast, that’s not a window that’s an egress - the kind of window you only have in the hope you can escape from it during a home invasion.

Perhaps you could save me from having to read the article...but does it explain why the Bulldogs window is one year longer than ours?

Clickbait and Iv'e fallen for it.

Says Who about premiership windows.?  You can tell its racing season and footy news is in short supply.

Saying Premiership window and Gold Coast Suns in the same sentence is an oxymoron for example, as is quite a few others.

To be fair, we were excrement in 2013 and won a Premiership in 2021. Would anyone have said at any time before 2017 that we would win a premiership that soon?

Because  of their next superstars youth.

Naughton Bailey Smith Jamarra UH Sam Darcy Cody Weightman and their first ruck star! 

LDVC   You ought to read more widely.

I've read quite a bit of Shakespeare, Conrad and Dickens over the years. Hasn't helped me understand footy much.

Too much hit and miss. Requires all of them to fire at the same time.

Do you reckon giving away Hunter and Schache for next to nothing might impact on their window?

I do.

Good reply LVDC That  could well be your favoured topic on Hard Quiz  though!!

Give them a go Tiers Remenber when Trac was starting off ? Till 2020 there were many D/Lers who wanted to clear him. They have gone to ground like turtles never to be seen again! 

Key positions are there low point esp. in defence but they have lost too  many 2016 Flag  players and each season some others ie Schache  and Hunter are leaving for cultural reasons. Coaching an issue I wonder?? 

It's different from Weid Hunty and Toby who are seeking greater games and growth but not culture IMO.

Are you able to self-report yourself on Demonland?

Edited by TRIGON

Premiership depend on the cattle, luck and injuries.

If you have the players but are injured most of the year then you are yesterdays favourite.

Luck in the Grand Final and you kick points rather than goals but have more scoring shots al la Geelong 2008 then you lose.

Luck during the season where in clutch games you kick winning goals rather than losing point at the death getting you not enough wins to make the finals, look Collingwood 2022 if they lost all the close games 2 goals or less then they would have won 10 less games.

Cattle teams like North Melbourne, West Coast start the season knowing the team need to be at their best even to be competitive so their window is always in the future and depends on getting their picks right to become competitive in the future like the demons in 2008-2017 high draft picks either were duds or ordinary at the AFL level.

Players who look good at junior level maybe bigger and stronger then their opponents but fall by the wayside because of poor attitude or desire.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
