Depends entirely on the boards n fans understanding of the situation we found ourselves in when Dimma packed up the suitcase and whether genuine development and improvement of system n structure can be seen by the end of 2026. Would be very surprised if Ouzo doesn't get another 2 years added on sometime during 2026.I feel like Ralphy has been reading my posts. He touches on a number of issues that have been discussed around here.
- Yze's win/loss record. It’s going to look pretty bad at the end of his first contract and history suggest not many first time coaches survive with that kind of record.
Who knows? Maybe, maybe not.- Taranto and Hopper. Despite what Dunne says, they were sold a pup and have a right to feel upset about it. The question now is what will they do? Said it before but I’m expecting at least one of them to request a trade at seasons end.
Would be bloody funny if a CEO or Prez ever got up on the hind legs n announced the club was gunna be *smile* Like Essendrugs or Carlscum or #Lolnorf for the next 20 or 30 years. Reckon they'd be carted straight out the door n their membership would get nuked.- Length of the rebuild. Even Dunne admits it will be close to a decade but what he doesn’t admit is there are no guarantees we’ll even get there.
Interesting times ahead.
Reality n history will tell ya that under the draft system you're generally looking at around 5 years to get the rebuild / rejuvenation to get back to around finals competitive and then sometime during the next five years you get back to being a genuine flag chance. That's so long as everything goes bloody right, hit a speed bump or cop the hiccups along the way n things can get awful ugly in a hurry, as 1980 to 2017 would demonstrate.
