Depends on what you mean by see? I was alive for Collingwoods flag but I woulda had no chance of remembering it (I woulda been like 2 weeks old)
So if it's just been alive for, I've seen.
Collingwood, Hawthorn, West Coast, Essendon, Carlton, North, Adelaide, Brisbane, Sydney, Port Adelaide and Geelong.
Which leaves me with about 60-70 years to see the Dockers, Dogs, Tigers, Melbourne and St Kilda win a flag.
Not likely.

i'm in the same boat as you... plus there will be new teams coming in.
of the current teams you'd think all of them would win win a flag by 2050 but then... who knows.
i'm going to get with yes for the current teams, but not a particularly confident yes.
Man that makes me feel old.
I can remember where the bbq was and what beer we drank that day, and trust me you didn't miss much, that game was crap.
Not sure I'll see a Melbourne or saints flag though

how many of those clubs will be around in 15 years? sort of unfair...
Saints and Tigers are a disgrace. no chance.
well i was born in 89
Valugly remember Talking with my old on the couch bout the 98 flag
remember the Roo's flag in 99
and all since then - quite vividly
So thats
Crows
Roo's
Bombers
Lions
Port
Eagles
Swans
Cats
Down
Still need to see
Saints - Losing culture, have my doubts tbh
Dogs - See saints
Tigers - Will see omne eventually
Freo - Nobody will ever see one
Carlton - Will see one
Hawthorn - Will see one soon
Melbourne - See St kilda
Add to that the new sides will be gifted flags to establish them

No chance.
I was born in May 1968, not totally sold on Melbourne, St Kilda or the Dogs yet. Maybe the Dogs might win one in the next 20. I doubt St Kilda will, or Fremantle. I have not included the 17th, 18th or any other expansions.

st kilda and freo have spent generations fostering a losing culture. i don't think 50 years will be enough for me to see them both win one.

I don't know where you're from but it's a bit of a worry if you're somehow fitting multiple generations into 13 years.
Not while Fremantle remain in the competition.

No way in the world mate. You will not see St Kilda or Freo win a flag. Melbourne and Richmond are iffy.
I can tick them all except the Bulldogs and Freo. And I only just missed the Bulldogs be a couple of years.
I'm old !!!!

It'd be a shame if I didn't see Freo win one in my life time given what they've gone through as a club and the amount of shit they cop.
It will actually be rather bizarre seeing them win one.
Can you seriously imagine those purple anchor boys on the podium?
Seriously.
Seriously.

Mankind will be living on Mars by the time St Kilda win a flag.
I don't think i'll be around to see Man colonise Mars.

It's obviously not impossible, I guess it depends how long I will live for. I would say yes if I live for another 60 years... if I only live another 30-40 than probably not.
