Sorry everyone Lenny has gone and Roo is our best player. If he gets injured it will get really ugly.
Expect many thrashings again next year

Re: we might have competition for next years spoon
All things being equal we should finish last next year. Not sure what the bookies have us at, but we will be at short odds. The plan is in place. We will not waver. We will have some of the best kids in the county at our club over the next few years, and it wont be long till we challenge again.
Painful, but exciting times ahead.

2015 & 2016 will be no difference IMO, we can expect some very bleak times ahead, when all we can look forward too is watching these kids develop. You have to wonder at what point does losing become a habbit ?
I doubt there is any club with as poor a list as ours or in such poor shape financially!
big chance that cameron will be one of our key forwards next year....big chance....

Unfortunately this is the truth. We're a big chance to win the spoon. Odds on.8856brother wrote:All things being equal we should finish last next year.

BUT - this is because we're realistic about contending for future premierships.
Teams that won't win another premiership before us due to inadequate future-proofing: Carlton, Kangaroos, Geelong, Adelaide, Richmond, Collingwood, Essendon, West Coast.
They'll all go better than us next year. But what's the point if your current generation isn't a premiership one?
Clueless and mediocre petty tyrant.

Wont believe it until it happens Stinger - we will be in the exact same position GWS will be when he started and they will have started their climb to sucess.

I understand we may be able to pay a bit more than GWS but Cameron strikes me a young man that the golden $$$ wouldnt be that important.
Time will tell I suppose but why would he want to come to the lowest earning and equally least sucessful club in VIC, with training facilities in area the equivalence of Sydneys western suburbs?

Re: we might have competition for next years spoon
I accept that he wants to come home to Victoria but I doubt it will be to our club. All other clubs in Melbourne will be prepared to throw the kitchen sink at him & GWS why would he chose the Saints?

Based on what? Lets face it unless we know Cameron very very well, in other words either his best friend or immediate family I would suggest you are making it up. GWS likely to 6-10 games next year and us 1-3. Cant see the appeal apart from money. Even then he will get huge offers from other more successful clubs.

Even WB are on the up and as good as Cameron is im unsure we want to commit those figures or probably much more to get him. We will still be going downwards next year IMO.

Re: we might have competition for next years spoon
GWS can want what they like, but if the kid won't sign a contract and we have first pick in the PSD, then they won't be in a position to demand anything. If we were to convince him to come to us, then they would ultimately have to trade with us, and trust us to trade in good faith & try and do the right thing by them. However I am sure they will receive great solace from counting the other 25 first round picks on their list........and maybe we can do a Luke Ball special for them...........WinnersOnly wrote: I accept that he wants to come home to Victoria but I doubt it will be to our club.

He and its a big if he wants to leave there will be 17 clubs finding a way to do the deal. It will be done before the PSD.

Re: we might have competition for next years spoon
It will be a log jam at the top next year and could be a log jam at the bottom. GWS and GCS should be very much better, Richmond and North should be top 4 teams on progression, Collingwood is decimated and will struggle, Carlton is very average as are the Crows and WCEs despite decent lists. I could see a fall away from Freo and even Geelong. Port will be a strong chance for top 2. Hawks and Sydney could play off again but equally could both start to have ground made up from underneath.

think port, north and west coast will have good seasons....carlton, essendon and the fith will crash....geez that sounds so good.....gringo wrote:It will be a log jam at the top next year and could be a log jam at the bottom.
