I think- with another club coming in, that even to get one premiership in 19 years is a pass. No expectations on Melbourne to win two. To be competitive is what they should be aiming at, then winning finals comes from consistency up in the top 8.

[@Geromi87]

When people say BS like: Trade 2-3 of your superstars, so you can rebuild, getting a few first round picks.. Why would anyone in their right mind, trade an already made player, just to enter the lottery and pick out young players? You're never sure what type of player they'll turn out to be anyway

It does depend on how strong of a draft their recruiters think this year's is, but they'd be stupid not to stock up with 6 first rounders and accelerate their rebuild. Those deals for Rioli and Bolton might never present themselves again
