Next flag - Carlton, Essendon or Richmond?

[Halftimehero]

Carlton probably are the closest to be honest, they have already started a rebuild. Essendon could be around the 4 for the next 2 or 3 years but will struggle to win a flag. Richmond are further back and will need to go down before they can go all they way to the top.

 

[Ron The Bear]

I believe it'll be Essendon.But one other thing I strongly beleive , its a toss up for Richmond and Carlton.

I think Carlton will become the perennial stuffer upperers if they go through this coach changing exercise over and over and over.

New coach new everything ( all it means is start all over again).
If anyone knows how to build a premiership Malthouse does , like him or not he is a proven super coach , whether people outside like him means nothing , his players do.

The worst thing Carlton could do is go down the turnstile path. It will be idiotic, if they do.

I am as guilty as anybody having shots at Mick , because his demeanour can be rather confronting, but he can coach.

His age means stuff all.

Its a no brainer , keep Mick Malthouse Carlton, he wins flags and can suffer set backs and keeps on rolling , as he's done with a team that will perform for him eventually with slow introduction and a little trial into some rebuilding. He didn't get a premiership team. But he'll make one.

Don't start all over again, and he'll beat the Tiges to a flag I'd be thinking.

Carlton should re-sign him for 2016,2017 and 2018, he will win you Blues a flag, and he will rebuild you a team to be able to do that.

If Carlton wins a flag in the next three years, no, the next six years, I'll buy a Carlton membership, beanie and scarf.

And that would kill me. It ain't gonna happen without brown paper bags.

So you are as stupid as Greg Denham.

Poor bastard.

Ouch! That hurts.

These forums deliver. We are therefore officially next. When we get to 20 you can have one.

I was 17 on the day we won our last I'm now turning 52 this September not sure I can wait that long

By then you might be the only supporter left at the Blues.

 

[Fear Boner]

LOL so says the bloke whos side has not won a final in 12 years

Also either has richmond but at least we have made consecutive finals in recent history, unlike your lot

If not for governance issues we would of




But hopefully we both make the finals this season ...

Yes you can damn it ! I was 12 when I saw our last flag and it feels like forever ....

All 3 teams are middle-of-the-road plodders and won't see a flag for 10+ years at this rate

Carlton need to rebuild to make finals let alone win the whole thing

That's still only 15 years compared to 35, no queue cutting, you young buggers are so impatient

Well with only two GF appearances in your history I'm betting you hope that's the case, I feel for you Doggie supporters that window slammed shut so quickly, there is no justice in the World.

You learn to survive and get through life. It ain't that bad

Richmond and Carlton are building a nice innings without winning one as well

Tigers getting a flag would be pretty good , my old man is an old tiger .... I have a soft spot for them . I don't want to wait 35 years ...

 

[Fadge]

Melbourne certainly closer to a flag than Richmond and Carlton.

 

[Rack Watts]

This thread is stupid, if we lose tomorrow then we won't win a flag next of the 3.

 

[Halftimehero]

That will keep the Tiggies a bit quieter on here this week.

 

[HirdyLannister]

Where's Barry?

 

[AtomicBlonde]

We could lose every match for the rest of the year and still beat the other two to a flag.

On current form I would say Essendon is the most likely, but they are still a smoky top 4 at best. If they don't win one before Cooney, Fletcher, Goddard retires then they will quickly stumble back down to the pack.

nah not really. we have covers for goddard and cooney. fletch will play for another 5 years minimum

Not so, we cover them well enough. As good as they are, neither is essential (nothing against Fletch but we win without him often over the last few years).

At this stage I'd say Carlton as they'll be the first to rebuild.

lol, Carlton have to start drafting decent players for a change, like Hogan.

 

[citizen-erased]

thread is done. if any team is close, it's essendon.

Blues and Tigers are a long ways off winning a final

Shit performance, but not unexpected. Very weak side on the field, average 68 games per player. That's St.Kilda/Brisbane/Gold Coast territory.

Richmond's depth is poor.
