If we won the spoon next year again, and/or finish with less than 5-7 wins that is an absolute failure of a season and confirms we're tanking and I would really really hate it.

Sure, but some of your ifs and buts are less likely to eventuate than to notEverything is ifs/buts in this game
Not dreaming at all!Ok, this is off season dreaming.
With Cunners back fit and firing,
WiPhi ready to prove a point,
more harmony with the excision of the cancer that was JHF,
another season into the younger players, without the loss of too much core experience,
LDU starting to realise what he is capable of,
Charlie on the park,
a couple of fresh starting 22 recruits,
and a f*n game plan,
I'm seeing a rise up the ladder for us next year. Not finals for a year or two, but we will be much better in 2023.
You guys have 2 OUTSTANDING prospects coming your way. JHF will be good, these 2 will be better.With next year’s draft strong, finishing last may be some short term pain. However, if we can get Clarko back, I think he can weave some coaching genius to beat his old mob, and we would be a chance to finish above the s**t show that is Essendon and our old coach. Thoughts?
No. No it cannot.Can a third spoon in a row preceeded by a 17th place finish be considered "short term pain"?

Dont forget final round of 2017 we played the Lions for the spoon....5 years on we've had 2 spoons and a 17th to go with that, while other clubs have been gifted PP etc, while the Lions made a rapid ascent. We been sh1t since midway through 2016. I think our list is a lot better than results suggest, and some of the stats suggest that with contested ball, clearances etc.....what we need is to play as a team and a cohesive game plan that goes with that. Clarko will bring it. Im pretty bullish for 2023 and mid table ladder finish wouldn't surprise me in the least.Can a third spoon in a row preceeded by a 17th place finish be considered "short term pain"?

It wasn’t good. 2020-22 have plunged to new levels of aweful.
3 in a row is barely precedented even for the entirety of the VFL/AFL, only five streaks of 3+ in league history:However 3 in a row in modern AFL is unprecedented, historically inept stuff. That's when it starts to really hurt the brand off field.
Not gonna lie, you lads should find a way, anyway to get the Number 1 pick next year, trading it for it who knows. But Harley Reid is a freak of nature.
**** that would be so good!I am going to sacrifice a chicken on an altar of blood and hope Port have a horrible start to the year, sack Ken, and end with the spoon, giving us pick 1 in the draft.
A third in a row is an absolute failure, we should be turning the corner soon and be on the up, I couldn't care less about the number one pick obsession, we need to start improving. Has to be 5-7 win season, its non-negotiable.
I think we will do a lot better next year.
My concern is whether we have the list to do so. The delisting take away what experience we had.I'm expecting this also, I think its the best approach is to actually have expectations for us from here on out, we have the cattle to start competing, we won't be soaring up the ladder but theres a few teams who will be far far worse performers than us, and we have an actual coach who wants to compete.
We haven't lost much and we've brought in Logue and Tucker.My concern is whether we have the list to do so. The delisting take away what experience we had.
Be careful what you wish for.I sort of hope my boys win the spoon.
It's the only thing in 44 years I haven't seen them win.
