Premiership Window

[Demonland 73,506]

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...

[durango 2,023]

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.

Hard to see how we don’t win another 2-3 flags 💪🥳

[Rab D Nesbitt 8,784]

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

[Little Goffy 14,758]

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.

[Mazer Rackham 14,971]

I recall when our premiership window was touted to be 2012-2014. Glorious times. Ah, what memories.

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

Lost me at Bulldogs open at 2023 and Swans closing in 2024.....will be open for most of this decade.

[mauriesy 7,418]

In 2024 two-thirds of the comp is going to be in the premiership window. Really?

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.

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?

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.
