Storm averaged 12k in a premiership year. As to the Titans, how on earth is starting well and fading over 5 years to the wooden spoon better than starting with a wooden spoon and rising over 5 years towards finals?

the point here parra .. is that this lame ... ridiculous & buttathon excuse from singlet wearers .... that it takes time to get a new side off the ground
has been exposed again
look at our 2 latest sides
the Storm & Titans ........ hit the ground running , wins all ova the place in their early years
soccers
the Wanderers ...... 2 wins & a draw in their first 3 games
the VFL's
the Thuns & Midgets
8 wins from 66 games ............
Wanderers >>>>>>>>>>>>> all ova the ********* in orange
the excuse from the tight shorts brigade is .... they're new .. thats it... nothing to add !!
my examples prove this is BS , & a load of VFL but but butting... I've provided lots of examples of competitive teams being strong from the get go if the recruiting is done right.
the VFL has Farked these 2 sides up badly
theres no certainty the thuns will see any success in their first 5 years .. only praying they will .. from delusional singlet wearing C heads like you
and Gold Coasters have already seen one of their other sides winning & winning well...
thats why the VFL had to have a winning side straight away like the NRL did ... instead they have a bumbling embarrasment
Gold Coast fans will not wait for them to be a success
I'll back the Titans to be back in the finals long before the thuns will for their first time
& its game ova if this happens
ship has sailed

Theyre a team full of 18-19 year old early draft picks. Most AFL players take 2-3 seasons to perform at a level required for good AFL football.
The AFL knew this would happen when they set the teams up so they expected them to struggle for a few years. Every team has rises and falls (except the storm LOL). They have started low and will rise quickly as fans jump on.
Im not sure why a new team must start out at the top?
