Not on track at all
Lol at 2020 premiership it's almost 6 years since we were last in the granny and the players that lost us the 2011 flag are still our best players today

Who care if it isn't 2020 anyway. If its a year or two later it hardly matters when you have waited 49 years already.

Re: Not on track at all
I must say the 2018-2020 window claimed by the club is looking further away than what they expected. I think they are realising this hence chasing younger established players for trade...
SAINTS another day older another day closer to the Holy Grail!

I have no doubt they would have done that anyway. Any club in our position would. It maybe further away but that was because it seemed unrealistic anyway.

Re: Not on track at all
I remember the feeling in 2007-8 after Ross Lyon took over. The general consensus , especially in the footy media, was that we'd missed the golden opportunities presented by the quality of the list in 2004-5, and that we had some serious rebuilding and topping up to do. Fast forward two years and we'd played in three GF's for a draw, a narrow loss and a pumping, all against opponents who were pharmacologically questionable.
2020 is still five years away. So much can, and will happen. Maybe they won't ever win one in my lifetime and I'm prepared for that, but the club seems to be tracking well, and we seem to have plenty of promising young talent. I actually think we're on track to becoming competitive again in the sense that we'll make the finals on a consistent basis. Once that happens, you never know.

I started with nothing and I've got most of it left!

Re: Not on track at all
Why is the 2018-2020 window looking unlikely? A few more years of development for our young players, a few more years of playing as a team, a Free Agent or two and I think we should be in the mix.WinnersOnly wrote:I must say the 2018-2020 window claimed by the club is looking further away than what they expected.

Re: Not on track at all
I can't believe it's taken this long for this forum to identify Locals322 as a troll. Look at the other threads this poster has started. I thought Pies originally, in starting to wonder if it isn't the Crimson Sash as some sort of revenge for our general merriment at the dysfunction at the Hangar.
Not only is everything this poster writes designed to bait Saints fans, but most of it doesn't even make sense. I have no idea why anyone is moved to respond. Are we that bored that now we'll even chat with trolls? He's not even that subtle. Check out the one about hating the Pies. I think it must really be a monochrome monkey, but why? Is it the frustration about only finishing one place on the ladder above us, or just general malaise?
EDIT: yes, I was talking about the OP not the poster of the dodgy link. It was obvious that other guy was spam. I was referring to others accusing L322 to be a troll.

Re: Not on track at all
I don't think Byron was talking about locals323, some other random troll who chimed in... But I agree with you, this flog has to be a troll too.Austinnn wrote:I can't believe it's taken this long for this forum to identify Locals322 as a troll.

Re: Not on track at all
Correct. It was a post from a poster who joined yesterday, it was his only post and it was a dodgy link. Someone using the forum to advertise their own stuff. I also did have a look at all of the posts by Locals323. Jury is out IMO.dragit wrote: I don't think Byron was talking about locals323, some other random troll who chimed in...

Re: Not on track at all
I reckon we are right on track for our window to open by 2018. We have made very encouraging improvement this year. Now we need to nail the upcoming draft and trade period.
