I don't approach or judge things I can't control on a scale of satisfaction.Nope, I want to see more premierships, regularly.
Reckon everyone who endured the decades of nothingness will agree. We've got a lot to make up for..... we're still not content.
Younger supporters here will call it 4 premierships in 16 years. Older supporters see it as 4 premierships in 60 years.

I don’t think it’s as simple as that. There is every realistic chance north turns up on the weekend and knocks us off.We have tools at our disposal, and a plan how to use them to fullest effect. The plan is built to get our list wins on the MCG, it looks coherent and logical. Seeing us as a possible 12th team is ridiculous, moves from pessimism to cuckoldry. Seriously list the 11 teams you'd rate ahead of us even under the worst circumstances or put up your ladder predicter.
Both incredibly undersized kpdWhich isn't that reassuring tbh.
Sure, there are times when GMF applies, but I believe we're discussing different aspects of the issue.Golden mean fallacy is a thing. I say we'll win then next 4 premierships, you say we'll win zero. Lets just meet in the middle. If you meet me in the middle, I'll say we'll win the next 8 so we can meet in the middle again.
I know Scott isn't sitting satisfied, as long as we're experimenting with unconventional sets ups that maximise our talents, we're in with a chance and a chance is all you need every year. I believe we're a chance ever year until we're down 6 goals in the first quarter in a knockout final.
As you can see on our ladder predictor thread, I do have us 5-8.We have tools at our disposal, and a plan how to use them to fullest effect.

I got to see us win in 2022 live.I don't approach or judge things I can't control on a scale of satisfaction.
It's not up to us, so it's a pointless exercise. I've got enormous faith in the club, and that's enough for me.
The very idea of being 'hungry for more' only works when it's up to you, your effort, and your commitment. That's the players and coaches jobs, not us.
They can control the outcome, not us.
And FWIW Lana, I did say I reckon that 5th flag isn't far away either, just that I'm not the type to whinge if it doesn't happen after our recent dominance.
Give us 20 years in the wilderness, and I'm sure I'll be less forgiving.
I get it, but forever is a long time.I got to see us win in 2022 live.
I got to see Joel's goal live.
I got to see him farewell the game as a premiership captain live.
I got to see him be the best human being for Levi, Archie and Sammy Moorfoot live.
I got to convert to a Isaac Smith fanboi live in the first quarter live.
I got celebrate with one of my cricket teammates as he watched one of his best mates PFD win that flag he craved live.
I am content. 2022 for me will make whatever happens from here pure gravy. Whether we win another flag or two or go a long time without another I got to see this club on one of its best all time days. Forever contented.
As you can see on our ladder predictor thread, I do have us 5-8.
Realistically, with the evenness of this comp, there is very little difference between 13th and 5th- 2 wins. That is gettable between now and end rd 23.
I truly have no idea what we will dish up this weekend. Or any week. We could go 1-4, or 4-1
No longer do I believe our superior talent will be too much for NM. Losing Hawkins as he was in 21, 22, and a bit of 23 has been massive; that Hawkins Cameron combo has been a nightmare for opposition coaches, along with some small forwards, Danger, Selwood, Blicavs, Cam Guthrie, Stewart, I Smith, and Duncan.
Nowadays, I see us as overachieving on the rebuild.
Danger, Duncan, Blicavs, have all seen better days.
Cameron does not look consistently hungry.
Hawkins is about done.
Selwood and Smith retired.
None of these facts depresses me- it is part of the cycle of footy teams- what surprises me is that we are still there and abouts.
I can't and won't name 11 teams better than us, and I have not said we are a 12th team, but that range, given 23, is my estimate.
However, I have thought all year that Swans, Lions, Blues, Dogs, Freo, Port, GWS, Pies are superior lists to us. That doesn't mean they finish higher- we are well coached.
Also HGA, is hardly a factor for us this year.
This really is a very mixed bag season.
The need for topping up in the first place stems from missing on our earlier draft picks in the late 2000s and early 2010s.The AFL equalisation policy and years of trading away draft picks for top up players has finally caught up with us. It's a reason why we only have B and C graders in our midfield rotation. Our midfielders are at best hoping to nullify the opposing midfield. Often 3 opposition midfielders are matching the output of 5 players in our midfield rotation. Until we can get a couple of players who can regularly get 25 to 30 disposals we will struggle to compete. Just one player like Adam Treloar would vastly improve Geelong's prospects. Look at Treloar's output against Geelong. 31 disposals, 3 goals, 6 marks, 8 tackles. That is what an A grade mid can do. Midfielders who kick goals, when was the last time Geelong had some of those. Atkins is one of our better midfielders but I can't remember the last time he kicked a goal.
Ask a saints fan. They'd take 1 flag.I get it, but forever is a long time.
We could all love that. But can't help think of the Saints and Freo fans- most have never seen oneNope, I want to see more premierships, regularly.

Spot on.Ask a saints fan. They'd take 1 flag.
We've all seen at least 4.
We've had the best ride.
I grew up down the road from the Saints Moorabbin ground so always had an affinity there. 1966 is a LONG time ago.We could all love that. But can't help think of the Saints and Freo fans- most have never seen one
Spot on.
Cos our midfield was huge. If we won the ruck we would of won by even more.Just like how against the pies Cameron dominated the ruck and we dominated the clearances?

How does that even work?For sure.
It must be a heartache being a Saints fan.
On the other hand, my partner has seen 12 premierships. She laughs at our 4.

In an 18 team competition:And those in between see it as 4 premierships in 35 odd years
Weird stat: SDK is our only player who has an active 5 game streak of 20 or more disposals.
How does that even work?
I admire your tolerance.
Oh no!!!!! a Hawks supporter!!!!!
