It helps, but it doesn't work for everybody. I'd rather the 2016 Bulldogs experience than St Kilda's 2004-2011.B.M wrote: ↑Fri 23 Jul 2021 12:37pm So we don’t think that be a contender for a 4 year period is more of a chance to win one
Than having a lucky one off season
Geelong up for basically a decade and a half
3 premierships
Richmond up there for half a decade 3 premierships
Hawthorn up there for a decade 4 premierships
Sydney up there for for the best part of 20 years 2 premierships
WCE up and down a bit but 2 GFs since 2015
Collingwood were good for 4 years around their 2010 premiership
Recent history suggests when teams get up there and win… they become hard to beat for a period of time!
Geelong are good example of needing a bit of luck, regardless of being a regular contender. From 1989-1997 they were up, but won nothing. 2007-11 they were up, nabbed three flags. 2012-2021 they've been up, nothing to show.
