Looking into our crystal ball who do you think will be our main rivals in say 3 years time when hopefully we are genuine contenders?

Essendon will be down the bottom half and so will Fremantle with their ageing list.

GWS. Already did better than Gold Coast in their first year and if they can hang on to all their gifted draft selections, in three years they will have a pretty damn good side. Also I rate Bakes as a coach pretty highly. Guys Like Greene, Treloar, Patton, Coniglio etc... don't grow on trees and then they score the first three selections this year.
-
With all the concession GC got they should be up around the mark. Most players will be in their 5th year.

T101, I would rate Greene, Shiel, Coniglio and Treloar to already be on par with Bennell and ahead of Swallow, Day and Prestia. Caddy is also gone now so I still think GWS have the upper hand on the draft side of things. If Ablett goes or retires it will leave a huge hole.

A lot of it will come down to development with those two clubs.

McKenna is a massive dud.

Agreed. I actually think he is killing their chances of future success.

To be honest I haven't analysed GWS list. Is it to early to say GWS had a stronger year of drafts and concessions compared to GC.

They're already better than us. :P
In answer to the thread it assumes we'll be up the top, hopefully we're not fighting for the spoon again.
