ESSENDON will target a return to the top four by 2018 as new coach John Worsfold starts his quest to build a list capable of winning a premiership.
Weeks into his role as the Bombers’ senior coach, Worsfold is buoyant about the talent at his disposal, despite the club’s lowly 15th-placed finish this season.
The 2006 West Coast premiership coach believes the club’s lofty aim is possible, but said the Bombers need to plan to become a premiership threat beyond only making the top four.
“Absolutely I think it is achievable, but the challenge is that you want to win a premiership. You don’t just want to make the top four and say, ‘We’ve ticked that box’,” Worsfold said on Thursday.
"And sometimes the decisions you make might mean you miss out on the top four for another year because you’re playing the younger kids to get them ready to become premiership players.
“It’s a very fine line.”
The Bombers last won a final in 2004 under coach Kevin Sheedy, having lost their past three elimination finals. Matthew Knights, James Hird and Mark Thompson have all coached the club on a permanent basis since then. They have not finished in the top four since 2001.
Worsfold said the Bombers could “load up” on free agents to target a top-four finish in the next three seasons, but that they needed to take the broader view to get back into the premiership mix.
“Top four would be wonderful, but a premiership is the ultimate aim. I would challenge – and I always have challenged – clubs to be clear on what you really want to achieve,” he said.
"Is it a top-four [finish] for three or four years in a row where you come fourth and we’re all happy?
“Or are we working really hard to say it might take two more years of being out of the top four but then all of a sudden you burst into the top two and can play in the Grand Final.”
