Couldn’t agree more. The injuries don’t help, but the Tiges are a bottom 2 team at current and it’s only going to get worse for the next few years.

The way I see it, the 2 teams mentioned in this thread and your team Collingwood are all about to take the same path a few years apart.

West Coast are a year or two ahead of Richmond in the rebuild having access to Reid and co over that time, and have another 3 or so years left.

Richmond are just entering that dreadful period, having star players come to an end finding not much (or not enough) is left underneath. Rock bottom now, will stay there for a while. 3-4 years away from starting to climb.

Then we have the Pies. The decline is just beginning, and it’s only going to get worse. Hanging on this year like Richmond did from 2021-23. Old players everywhere, minimal young talent bar Naicos coming through. Another year or two to properly drop to the bottom 4, then 3-4 after that to regenerate.

It’s the circle of (AFL) life. What goes up, must come down.

You just have to win while you’re up, which all 3 have. Some (Richmondx3) more than others
