Ask AI: When will my club next win a flag?

West Coast premiership coach Adam Simpson has asked AI when each club is most likely to win its next premiership, with the database spitting out a likely range for all 18 AFL teams.

“I asked AI, ‘When is my team going to win a flag? How long before we win a flag?’,” Simpson told SEN Whateley.

“It’s got Gold Coast, Brisbane, Bulldogs, Sydney, Hawthorn and Fremantle - in the next two years there’s a premiership there for those clubs. They’re in the now.

“Geelong and Adelaide are one to three years away.

“Collingwood and GWS are two to four. St Kilda three to five years.

“Port Adelaide, Carlton and Melbourne are three to six years.

“North Melbourne is five to eight years. Would North supporters cop a flag in five years?

“West Coast also five to eight years. I think they’d take that. I remember when I first got the job, they said, ‘No pressure but we play finals 71 per cent of the time, and we win a flag every 12 years’. Ok, thanks for that.

“Essendon and Richmond are six to 10 years. Would you take the 10?”

Whateley: “Essendon would take any promise of a future. Richmond is still a long-term (prospect).
