8 stuffing years, are you kidding Claw...8 years, OMFG...this is the sort of typical Tiger supporter rubbish that I can't believe. Bloody hell...8 years...?????
Why can other teams turn it around in under 3 years but we need 8..... Geezus stuffing Geez!
took geelong 7 and thats from a much better base. took hawthorn 7 and some say they were lucky.
carlton have been going for 10 yrs and still dont look like winning one. it took collingwood 7 yrs and that was coming from a gf base in 03. 7 or 8 yrs to win a gf is very realistic. it is realistic that we may not make finals until hardwicks 5th yr. its all damn realistic if we go by what other sides have done and where they had to come from.wce won it in 06 if they dont make it this yr it will mean at least 7yrs to make another one and thats with a shedload of premiership players still in their side.
look we may make finals this yr we may not. but who in his right mind thinks finals are a monty this yr or next yr when all the kpis are considered.
8 yrs to go from a side in 09 compared to fitzroy at its worst or was that 2010 to a premiership turning over probably 95% of your list in the first 5 yrs yes 8 yrs is totally realistic.
it is very realistic that we may not make the 8 next yr that would mean we wait to hardwicks 5th yr to make it.
im not saying its impossible to make finals next yr or even this yr but even if we do make them the kpis wont change. only time and development will allow them to change along with good recruiting.
you asked for a time frame to success imo i gave you a realistic one basedon our list and where we are coming from and importantly based on how long other sides have taken and where they had to come from.
