Next year

    Could be as soon as next year if we get the next 5 or 6 months right. There are reasons for our decline which we have some control over.  There are also reasons we have little control over. We lost by less than a kick to three highly credentialled finals teams in the last 6 or 7 weeks - Brisbane, Port and GWS. That was far from full strength/health. I completely disregard Friday's result.  6 day break off a very warm day game on the Gold Coast - a bizarre fixturing move, and missing a big number of key players. We are not far away despite all the doom and gloom. And we get a bottom 6 draw!

    Every single decision made from now until the end of pre season would have to be 100% right in order for us to contend again next year.

    I agree but when you post a poll you can't turn off comments

    It's a fair question but imo we are miles off now unless midfield gets back fully fit. Which is a big if unfortunately.  Even then, we have to play defence and contest football.   It's pretty obvious we don't have the list to play fast quick ball movement over 24 rounds. We will get killed on turnover every second week which is exactly what's happened all year.. Our youngsters are ok but realistically half a dozen other teams have much better.  Geelong and Sydney contend every year cause they have the two best coaches, recruit well, have 'advantages' and adaptable lists that tweak playing method game to game and year to year.  We either go all in on contest and defense again or we complete rebuild before they gift Tasmania wins. The AFL is a bit of a joke for a sporting code really.  2 cents and  a bit glass half empty I know :(

    They pop up in every thread though, Loges. There’s no avoiding them. Hell, they managed to contaminate the Positives For 2024 thread and the Goody Is The Man thread.

    hmmm ... let me do some maths here ...

    2024 - 20121 = 3

    57- 3 = 54

    54 + 2024 = 2078 and there you have it

    i'm going to start preparations for the big day starting tomorrow

    I'm no dooma or glooma - but the sooner we rocognise that it's all the fault of Lawry and Jeffo - the sooner we can resurrect our dynasty. Written with due diffidence to Weed and Watts.

    It's in the next 2 years or 6+ years away. No option for that so I wrote 2.

    I voted 10+, not because I'm all doom and gloom, just because they are hard to win and not that many clubs win them within a shorter period of time.

    Hawks, Tiges, Geelong (07-11) and Lions are the exception this century.

    Collingwood - 12 years

    Geelong - 11 years

    WC - 12 years

    Sydney - 7 years, but if they win it this year it will have been 12

    Bulldogs - 8 years if they win it this year

    Depends how Serious the Club want to actually get there. 
    it’s been said many times, but this offseason is super critical in terms of the Clubs future 

    Get it right and we could fly again soon

    I'd reckon that it would take about five years; there is much to be settled and put into place. Our retirees will occur soon, and these players have done us proud but must be replaced. Similarly, recruitment needs great focus and a steady year by year development, with a good, across-the-field bank of talented replacements. Player development, exposure and great coaching procedures will be critical to filling the gaps we have experienced so recently. Coaching talent and depth, game styles, alternative strategies need to be established and put into place and given very high priority as part of the product of recruitment and game-day execution. We must strive for onfield mastery, nothing less. We also need that identifiable 'home' as part of the re-build to come.

    • 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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      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.
