2012 doesn't look realistic for the Eagles but hey i don't think 2011 is realistic for Essendon to make top 4 as they expect either. Lets face it coaches set goals to strive for, not ones that they can make with ease. Nothing wrong with setting a goal i guess, although i can't see how they possibly could get there in time. The one thing i will say though is things can change around really quickly. Everybody would have howled down any Docker supporter audacious enough to suggest top 4 last year, so who knows maybe Eagles will be the big improver next year from nowhere. They certainly do have some good talent on their list it will all depend on if they can come on the way they hope (which is the case for the majority of clubs at the moment).
An Essendon Supporter talking finals! Wont be lucky enough to win only 10 this year (and get reamed as expected in first final) and on all evidence the Bombers so far, they will struggle to even get close to the 8 in the next 4-5 years let alone top 4!
