Yes well, if that happens, I'll be as happy as several pigs in sh1t, but somehow I doubt it.

I think i'll be happy if we manage 10 goals total, regardless of who is kicking them.

My Tiggers mate asked today if I thought they could pull another flag out of their arse in the next couple of years, 10% chance I said, he was happy with that ! ????

Ive had a look at the competition, and it pains me to say that they are a better than even money chance to go back to back, and even if they don't, they will be in the frame for another flag in 2019 and possibly even 2020 unless things change drastically. They are actually a pretty young side.

With youth comes earning potential, they do well again this year and the kids will start asking for more $, and opposition will start offering more $.
The greater player power and free agency becomes, the less chance clubs have of sustaining a list.

I understand the pessimism given the last decade and more of misery but the tide has turned and will keep turning.
I think we match up very well with the Tigers.
I know there's a lot more to it than height and weight but:
Levi - 201cm, 103kg.
Big H - 204cm, 100kg+
Rance - 194cm, 94kg.
Astbury - 195cm, 95kg (Crippa size)
That;s a big height weight difference.....
and Charlie
195cm, 92kg.

Having a physical size advantage is only useful when a player knows how to use it.
Rance will rag doll McKay, Levi gets pushed off the ball by midfielders.
Charlie is the real deal though, when he gets to the contest he is as physically imposing as Cripps or Kreuzer.

Of course, one needs to "know how to use it". Thanks for stating the bleeding obvious
Rance to rag doll Harry. BS.
Rance likes to be unaccountable and play the run off role.....seldom is he made accountable one on one....
In any event, he's the likely match up for Charlie, leaving them one short for Levi and Harry.
They are really short on other tall defender types - Chol?
Let's look at their list - who would I like at Carlton - outside Martin, Cotchin, Riewoldt (maybe when yuonger), Prestia (?), Caddy?, Rance (sure)
Houli had a great 2017 and GF, for sure but there's a lot of average stuff in that list....
