    Can you please give me the odds?

    Can you give me the odds of this occurring 11 months:

    VFL Premiership.
    Zaine Cordy going good and slipping to 4th round, and that we would've used 26.
    Higgins walking.
    Gryphon walking.
    Bob becoming the spiritual and club leader
    Coach sacked with 2 years on a contract.
    Cooney walking.
    Tutt walking and getting multi year contract.
    Jones walking and getting a million dollar 3 year contract.
    Landing Tom Boyd.
    Landing some raw prospects in trade, including a kid that schooled Gryphon a few weeks earlier
    Recruiting all players under 183cm, including the shortest bloke in the AFL
    Landing Luke Beveridge
    CEO resigning
    Getting a NAB Cup game at Whitten Oval
    Best player, Libba, doing his knee in the first praccy game
    Boyd, Wood, Picken, Grant, Wally and Dahl playing different roles
    Landing an international sport supremo as new CEO
    Winning
    Winning
    Having more rising stars
    Winning
    Getting near top 8
    Getting in top 8
    Winning
    Skills of a sublime nature
    3 players having kicked bags of 7 goals
    Winning
    Smashing teams
    Looking at top 4
    Winning
    Smashing good teams
    Being in the top 4

    Can you give me odds of this happening 11 months ago?
    Makes you think that the odds of bigger dreams aren't that far fetched!

    We're living our own 30 for 30 doco.
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    Pretty comfortable with my pre season bets on top 8 and top 4. Even my $2 at $501 for the flag feels good.

    Ha ha me too $26 to make the top 8!
    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.
