It is factual, but that advertisement is still a bit presumptuous.

I think that 2010 will be an average kind of a year which will make a bit of a mockery of something like this.

But I guess that the perogative of a team that has won 16 cups is to show them off.

A 17th cup is coming - but the circumstances surrounding the win will make it a relief and a distraction from the things that are occurring at the time.

It wont be won in a bold and authoritative manner that might be implied by an advertisement like that - it will come more unexpectedly, like a thief in the night - but nevertheless, it will be won...

I will take a stab - we will finish an unconvincing 3rd/4th, with a poor run into the finals, and some recent finals choking meaning no one gives us a chance. We then lose our first final confirming everyones pre-conceived ideas. We then go into the semi as underdogs, and win unconvincingly. Then a Prelim as rank underdogs, and we win (like 1999) then underdogs again for the GF and win again (unlike 99).

It will be a relief to other world events such as Celine Dion releasing 'My Heart Still Goes On And On And On', a 23 minute power ballad with Meatloaf, which inexplicably becomes a massive hit.

Commodities will be a better store of value than currencies.

Fiats always end up crashing.

Our financial systems will be shown to have created an illusion of prosperity.

Then there will be many upset people who will not have been paid what they were owed. Some of them will be very upset indeed.

If the scum came up with the impossible and won next year, their 2011 marketing slogan would be 'more cups than carlton'.

And maybe pigs will grow wings and fly one day... :grin:
