We will finish bottom 4 this year.

Post: # 1166741Post Parrot_Rosie »

The inevitable slide will happen this year. At least the draft will only be partly compromised with compensation picks. Lets stay in the bottom 4 for 4 years and rebuild properly for our next assault on the flag.

Thoughts?
(keep it civil).


Why do you think we have been a top side since 2004? It was because we were forced into a full rebuild. With the Tim Watson debacle and then the Malcolm Blight debacle our beloved St kilda was on the canvas down and out. We won 11 games in 3 seasons and in that time we scummed up 5 top 10 picks and 3 top 20 picks. Through our own ineptitude we were forced to do a major rebuild and that was the catalyst for sustained excellence over the last 8 years.

I thought we finished 7th this year...

In all seriousness, I think we will probably be sliders next year, but not bottom 4. You can assume Gold Coast and GWS will be bottom 2, then you still have Port and Brisbane who will remain cellar-dwellers....so I think bottom four is very unlikely with the talent we still have.

I know you are a recognised Troll - but I will answer anyway.
I believe we have one final crack at the title in 2012 - we will make finals and be deep in contention (assuming good run with injuries).

Rebuild to commence in 2013 - If we cant win in 2012 then we need to face the reality that we wont with one with the currrent core group (dal, bj, roo, chips, lenny, milne, joey).

I guarantee you Gold Coast will not finish in the bottom 2. I expect them to just about make the top 8. Their improvement will be huge in 2012.

Good to see you're posting again Parrot. You went missing for a while there.

I assume your medication is now working.

Our top end players are that good we would win around 8 games just off their talents unless we tanked.

Oh wait, don't feed the troll.

No chance IMO. They'll be lucky to win 4 games.

either way i reckon we will make the 8 unless we get a hell run on injuries.
our top 10 is still darn good and im not sure much more could go wrong than in 2011.

I think the lowest we will finish is 6th, we had a shocking year this year, everything went wrong and we still finished 6th at the end of the home and away season. With a few things going right, Roo and Goddard injury free, Lenny and Gwilt back, improvement from the kids and hopefully re vamping the game plan we will have a very big upside. I think we will start to drop down the ladder 2013 or 2014. I like what Watters has been saying about being a double threat not just defensive and moving the ball fast.

We could... but I would be interested in knowing who they are, or who they know.

They're posting from an IP that is the same as a numerous amount of regular posters (genuine ones).

I honestly believe that we will be very unlucky not to make the finals AGAIN, for the 8th time in 9 years, next year.

Top 6-8 still elite. Second teir still good enough. New kids coming through could be anything. And, fresh start, new coach, old demons buried.

We're far more likely to make finals than not...
