Message: [QUOTE="Sproj, post: 3451529, member: 8423"] Again, this simply isn't true. Geelong has dominated for a decade and this is very much the exception to the rule. Outside of that, Richmond rose and has started to fall. Melbourne was one of those awful, lower teams and they have risen, won the comp last year. Brisbane was truly awful, not they are finalists for the last four years and look to be the contenders for Geelong's throne next year. Adelaide was in a GF just a couple of years ago, now they are at the bottom of the ladder. Port Adelaide has risen and fallen. Collingwood has risen, fallen and risen again. Sydney has managed to stay relevant but they have not bottomed out as much as some other teams. GWS even made a GF a couple of years ago. The Bulldogs have risen, fallen and risen again. Hawthorn looked unbeatable for about five years, they have fallen badly and they are one of the go to clubs you are talking about. West Coast was relevant for a long time, they have fallen off a cliff. Fremantle rose fell and has risen again. Carlton, a go to club have hardly played finals in a decade. Essendon is one of the biggest destination clubs in the country and they are a basket case, fall out from their PED punishment has actually meant something. Basically, the only two clubs that have remained at the bottom over the last ten years are Norths and the Gold Coast, both of whom, depending on the Clarkson fiasco, look to be very much on the way up. Teams that have played prelims in the last decade are almost everyone but Carlton, Essendon, the Gold Coast and Norths. The system works pretty well again, though not perfect. [/QUOTE]
