Re: OPINION : Our Next Premiership - Without Judd & Co ?? Reply #30 – January 25, 2014, 10:51:07 am I have said previously we will not win a Premiership for another 10 years. That is, 2024:My reasoning:1. GWS and Gold Coast will be peaking in 5 years from now - 2019 as they have the best recruits in the land.2. We have finished 9 in 2013 where we have deficiencies in spine players (my view - no power FF or CHF and FB) and midfielders (as per MM)3. It will take 2 more years of MM drafting and list management to wholly change the list. That is a total of 3 years of list management and recruitment under MM.4. Point 3 assumes that our recruiters (whoever they will be) make the correct decisions. 5. Throw in 2 -3 years of development after Point 4 - we do not know if MM be at Princes Park.6. As a result of Point 5,we collide with and have to overcome Point 1. Quote Selected

We have been, and are, stuffed for a very long time. As it is round 1 2014 will mark our longest premiership drought in terms of games played without one. It has been easier to accept for me because I see things for what they are. Quote Selected

We have so much riding on Hendo we are like a school footy team. How our recruiters still have their jobs is beyond me, they have fudged up this group that should have been up there for a premiership with Judd and co. Talia was a no brainer that they stuffed up, and in my opinoin they overrated Kreuzer when we should have sent the pick 1 to the Eagles not Kennedy. Now we are suffering from those decisions as we are scratching and clawing to put some sort of spine together. Quote Selected

Yes I'm tired of Carlton being crape too. It's a pity you feel that way. I'm so bullish this year - I can see Casboult emerging up forward, Thomas adding an enormous amount to the midfield, Bell taking another step, Murphy, Gibbs, Judd, Kreuzer, Warnock, Robinson, Yarran, Simpson, Tuohy, Walker and Garlett doing their thing, Watson emerging, Everett and Dougherty adding plenty, Jamieson and Hendo solid and Waite with plenty of X factor. One more year under MM's game plan. PLENTY TO BE EXCITED ABOUT. Quote Selected
