Should make finals, but still another 2 years away from being a contender imo.

People are reading way too much into their game vs Hawthorn. Granted it was a great win, last year after round 10 GWS sat 5th on the ladder at 7-3 and had beaten Hawthorn and Adelaide. Hawthorn was a better side last year too.

Which was a disgrace, but it comes off the back of a dismal start to their season, with fans dropping like flys.
Why is that the benchmark you are choosing?

We have been crap for 5 years since we started up in the largest (but alien to the game) populated region in oz.
What benchmark is it again?

GWS are going to become formidable like the Eagles were in the early 90s. They definitely have the talent to go deep in finals this year

Cant read your original post so hard to guess what you are on about. The post i replied to was a 20k home crowd goal which when compared to clubs with a rich history and massive membership numbers it doesnt correlate. This is rd 6 not rd 16.

minimum top 8 but should be aiming for top 6. remember we all thought they had a top 8 spot stitched up previously, then Mumford was injured and they nose dived.

There was no original post.
GWS have been showing some great signs the last couple of years. They have been gifted success by the AFL and have only one other team in the biggest city in Australia to contend with in terms of sharing the AFL numbers. I think there should be many more fans there to witness the rise of the giants, as the list is on the verge of some real success.
I hope players don't leave due to wanting to play in front of crowds that appreciate them.

Competing against nrl.
We didnt get gifted jack.
We got start up concessions from all 16 clubs.
As GC have shown that doesnt mean jack.
Carlton have more number 1s than we have.
Oh and our fans do appreciate the players. Hense why the majority stay.
They may have had concessions, but they have played the hand they were dealt. Even trumping the afl with their savvy use to exploit it, playing the long game. Just having talent doesn't automatically turn to a quality team, it's the development they have put in. Not to start something with Melbourne supporters but they had access to a lot of top end talent and nothing came of it. The most talented juniors need the systems in place to take the next step, so the club is doing everything right in that regard so good on them

I dont see a trophy sitting our cabinet and the best 30 players in the league signed up. So no not gifted.
We had to start somewhere and all clubs thought it was fair. Of course all clubs thought our players would have a mass exodus. Didnt happen.
Well its the only team to measure it against.
Oooh so all other clubs are ok but we are gifted. Riight
Yes there are players to leave. Our ever shrinking cap and list size would do that

GWS seems much more extensive or did they just do it better?
That will be the hard part probably?

We currently have 3 left
Cameron
Shiel
Wilson
We actually lost one before we even started with Tunbridge.
But yes on the outside it looks like we did better with those 3 plus Treloar and bugg. But it also proves that junior form doesn't translate to afl with golds one of our highest rated at the time
