Brian Cook - "Premiership Within The Next Five Years"

https://www.sen.com.au/news/2023/02/09/weve-taken-the-next-step-blues-boss-makes-flag-declaration-in-five-year-plan/

Its nothing earth-shattering or a new revelation, every club should be aiming to win a flag within a five-year time-frame. The obvious exceptions are Essendon who just want to win a final in that time & St. Kilda who just want to win something.

Thing is, Cook is a proven performer who is not prone to making rash predictions or outlandish comments so most Blues fans should have some genuine expectation & excitement after reading that.

The other benefit of the Blues becoming a real challenger is that the membership base will crash right through the 100K barrier and more than likely get up around 120-130K.

Remember the crap we copped when we last made a similar prediction.

Surely there is no egg on face this time.

Have to win a final this year as a bare min imo to keep the critics at bay for now.

Last time it was 3 flags in 5 years though wasn't it?

Personally I hate putting a cap on it like saying 1 in 5.

We should be aiming to be the best performing club we can be, and striving for continuous improvement.  It shows no respect to others to state this and will draw a huge target on our backs.

Actual quote is AT LEAST 1 in the next 5 years. ;)

With the right people in place, these plans can come to reality. Look at Richmond, Gale presented a plan years ago with 4 or 5 key goals and they hit every one of their markers including the first of their premierships in 2017. Cook is the best in the business, no argument or debate there. The list is strong, no argument or debate there either. It comes down luck with injuries and the coaching, conditioning and development teams. The ball (pun intended) is well and truly in their court.
