We are being sold a significant amount of hope at the moment, if we we are patient!!
If we are to believe that we will be contenders in 5 years time (circa 20/21), there are 2 questions to ponder: who will win the next 5 premierships? Which of our greatest rivals (Richmond, Collingwood , Essendon) will win one.
Or in other words, do we have the correct strategy and structure in place to beat at least a couple of the sworn enemies (Ess, Coll, Rich) to the next premiership.
16: WCE, 17 WCE. 18 Bullies. 19. Collingwood 20: GWS. 21 Carlton.
Bad luck Tiger and Bombers!!!!

I've got a feeling WC, Freo and Sydney will all be hard to beat next year.
Hawks - maybe squeeze one more freakishly injury-free season out of their pensioner squad.
Cats recruiting looks pretty good on paper but they've also lost a lot of experience. They should be top 8 but I doubt top 4 which I see being mostly inter-state this year.
GWS are the ones I expect to come with a rush this year. Mind-bogglingly awesome squad - even post-Treloar.

Hawks are clearly the ones to beat next year IMO.
Ignorance is bliss.

Hard to argue with on this point. Then Wet Toast, Fluffy Ducks, Boat Anchors, and that is about it. The over grown Wallabies will always try hard but never make it, and the Doggies have only one flag in their trophy cabinet. Probably won't add to that soon, but could shake it up. I'm just not sure how the Kittens will do over the next few years with Danger in their squad. Just not sure.
This digital world is too much for us insects to understand.

Croweaters to be a smoky, and Brisbane have an impressive list of ins that shouldn't be overlooked.
Largely if it's not us I don't really care so long as it's not one of the hated clubs.

Win about the same number of games and get hammered in plenty....we could also have the lowest percentage ever recorded given we lack goalkickers....
