Danger said he's only looking at this year.
If he gives up captaincy at end of this season, history reveals in the last 14 years that the departing captain hands it over to his successor as a premiership captain.
Harley--> Ling--> Selwood-->Danger-->??

Probably a bit of a stretch, but the last time a reigning premier started the following season 0-3, they ended up making the grand final that year.

Melbourne Victory won 6-0 against Adelaide IIRC.

Assuming we don't make top 4, it'll take 15 straight wins to win the flag from here. Including last nights win, it'll be 16 on the trot which is same streak as last year.

If we win the rest of the home and away games we will easily finish top 4.

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

Well to win the flag In 2023 we inevitably will have to go through Collingwood.
Just like the previous 4 flags.

We have never won a GF after playing an interstate final. If we can finish 5th, we may not have to play interstate.

The last time we missed the finals we played Adelaide in a home game featuring our number one trade target Patrick Dangerfield.

This year we play the Western Bulldogs in a home game featuring our number one trade target Bailey Smith

Confirmed Brownlow in 2024 for Smith, and confirmed rise back to the top four.

This year we play the Western Bulldogs in a home game featuring our number one trade target Bailey Smith.

Confirmed Brownlow in 2024 for Smith, and confirmed rise back to the top four.

Sadly, Smith is out.
Bulldogs are the biggest underachievers. They have a very good list, exciting footy at their best, and should be consolidating a finals game rather than having to win.
Bont, Libber, JUH, Weightman, Smith, English, Naughton, Daniel, JJ, Treloar, Macrae- their top end talent is massive.
Macrae is 29, a bit on the outer, the sort of player we could go for?

The last two times that we lost our last home and away game were in 2006 & 2021. Guess what happened the following year ??
