Premiership by 2014 realistic: Craig Cameron

[one-eyed]

Tigers general manager of football Craig Cameron said pre-match a premiership in 2014 was a realistic aim.

With Riewoldt, Cotchin and Martin dominating, that dream could well become reality.

Surprised a bit no one has commented on this. It's one thing to be ambitious but let's wait until we first start making finals before talking premierships within 3 years  .

[Francois Jackson]

Its one thing to be optimistic i.e Dimma last night re making the 8 but talk of flags are ludicrous but hey it is Cameron we are talking about.

Thats why we are laughed at when we make stupid statements like this.

MT i just shake my head in disbelief when i see these types of comments and try not to bite..

Shouldn't be saying jack man

[Gigantor]

sometimes though if you say something enough and really believe it ....it just might become reality..The impression that seems to be permeating the whole club is one of being bold and agressive in all areas and thats fine by me...now lets walk the walk and not just talk the talk

We are developing. I dont think we should put a roof on it but please can the club not make statements about flags by a certain year.

I agree with this comment, it's as bad as Wallaces comments about 2011.......we know how that played out.

Some of our football is terrific. Some of our football is garbage. Some of our football is costing us 6 to 10 goals a games. We need to continue to develop our brand of footy. We need to stop the mistakes and stop costing ourselves 6 to 10 goals a  game. What we really need to do is show some guts at the end of the year at the trade table. We need to go younger again! We need to show courage when it comes to trading. We need to try and get 1 pick out of GWS for a 17 year old player. We need to try and get an early pick in this draft from somewhere else in terms of the main draft. We need to offload some blokes who cant take us to where we need to go. And we need Francis Jackson and his team to have another draft like the last one. Can he find us another Conca? Can he find us a big Key Defender and maybe a tall roaming Half Forward. We may only be 1 draft away from having the foundations of being very very good.

i think your spot on Ramps.

Players like Morton, Mcguane, Edwards, Rance and even Jackson are not going to get any better. Lets face it they are what they are.

Jackson we probably need more than the other 4 but still i would throw them all up and see what we get.

Our defence is an unknown. Grimes looks good as does Batch. Rance?? Mcguane-No, Thursfield-No, Still too many holes down back.

IMO we need an A grader at the last line of defence if we are to challenge

[Eat_em_Alive]

We need to be aggressive as a playing group, A club and as a supporter base.
Hell, Carlton has put in writing to their members they can do 2 flags by 2014- not 1 but 2.....
 

The wheels are in motion, they just need to continue moving in our favor

Both great posts - I would prefer we develop our own players first before we trade for other clubs. Having said that, the grigg and houli trades appear far better than our history of the past few years.

It doesn't matter who said it - I reckon they all believe it is possible they are all on the same page remember

[Judge Roughneck]

What is the best 22 2014 before the draft/trade period?

How many pieces of the premiership 22 is currently on the list?
