Next Victorian team to win a flag (Pies, Cats and Hawks excluded)

[Magic Mike]

Which of the Victorian clubs will be the next to win a flag?

Pies, Cats and Hawks share the last 5 flags (will probably be 6 flags after this year), so I am not including them in this poll.

The other 7 teams from Victoria are currently in premiership droughts that are over a decade long.

Who's your tip and why?

 

[Engimal]

Obviously voted North Melbourne.

My own side excluded, Essendon. Followed by St Kilda then Carlton.

Richmond. Carlton is already in their window and failing, Essendon I can't see winning with their midfield and I don't see where the massive improvement is going to come from North to jump up to flag contenders.

Saints, Dees and Dogs should be going up when the rest start to fall.

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Most likely to be Richmond I suppose. Carlton is an outside chance in the next few years if they can get everything to go right. Wouldn't be surprised if we saw inter-state dominance for the next 5-6 seasons (with Adelaide, WC and Freo going well with young-ish sides and the expansion clubs should get going once they are 5 or so seasons in).

Dogs, Dees and Saints are a long way away at this stage.

Great thread.
I look forward to the next installment:
"Which interstate side will be the next to win a flag (West Coast, Fremantle, Sydney, GWS, Adelaide, Port, Brisbane and Gold Coast excluded)

As much as I'd like to see the Hawks win it, the Tigers.

Would be okay with it, my sister supports them.

 

[BotsMaster]

Richmond's window SHOULD open next year.

 

[wc_morty]

Roos ftw. Better and better every year. Would love to see the saints get up my god they have been waiting a long time.

 

[skittler]

Excluding North bias I would have to say I believe Carlton will.

 

[tigers_of_old_08]

Would have to be Carlton now that they have MM who will get the best out of his players, and take some pressure off Judd so he plays his best footy. Saints would be my smokie, they have some serious talent. Tigers are a couple of seasons away till their list gels and the kids get some games into their legs. Melbourne are on a wide berth turning the club around will take time, North will are thereabouts but with Harves & Petrie on their way out wont time it right. Doggies need $$$$$ for their football department and players with x-factor. Essendon need to decide on who their coach is, Bomber can take them to a GF, but Hird has me stumped.

What went wrong with you?

 

[Hodge is God]

What went wrong with you?

Hahah. The real question is, what went wrong with her?

 

[Slattery_20]

Throw a rug over Dons/Blues/Roos/Tigs.
Then Dees.
Saints furthest away.
Dogs have gone down & started to rejuvenate.

 

[Stewart2Austin Reborn]

Essendon will win the 2013 flag. You can count on it.

I'm sold.

Lining up for Grand Final tickets tomorrow.

 

[jive]

Richmond/Essendon

 

[The Dice Man]

Richmond clearly.

Bombers a longshot.

Blues will win another spoon before challenging

North will be thereabouts

 

[Collingwoodity]

Richmond just shying the dons with carlton's best chance next year before malthouse's "new" boundaryline gameplan is found out.

 

[Get Reimerd]

essendon because we are doing what ever it takes apparently

Haha

 

[Shadeeq]

Essendon easily. They have the best youth and more upside than any of the teams on this poll.

Who do you go for though?

 

[Hard_to_Beat]

Can Richmond find 6 players in time?
Can Essendon find a midfield in time?

North would have to rank as favorites. They're no guarantees though.

North will lose Petrie and Boomah by the time they are ready to challenge for a flag.

Richmond will have Cotchin, Martin, Lids, Foley, Jack, Vickery, Conca, Rance and Ellis all in their prime.

Get back to me when half of those blokes actually show "their prime".
