Premiership Window

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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    I do.

     

    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.

    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.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
