Yes, after overlooking their list, they undoubtably have the most awful list of young players in the league. They got lucky with their F/S picks in the past but with the good new F/S rule intact, I doubt they'll ever come close to a flag ever again.
Now I must elaborate on how bad their young list is but before I continue, for the record, they have at least 1 good young player in Joel Selwood, albeit a weak as piss diver.
Now lets start off with Tom 'Babyface' Hawkins, the boy who dominated at junior level but in the seniors? Hahahaha, jesus, talk about a lack of mobility, he's a slug! I'm surprised he even dominated the juniors, Hawkins has to be the slowest lead up KPF I've ever seen and that's not even getting to the fact that he can't keep his feet in a marking contest. He will always be smashed by the better defenders. I expect upcoming forward, Serhat Temel to have a more dominant career.
Then comes Richard Tambl- I mean Travis Varcoe, the player that never was and never will be. Having seen him play on numerous occasions, he's not only soft as butter, but he's not even that talented. I'm surprised he was a first round selection because really, he never impacts games and the only reason he has a few goals next to his name is thanks to the teammates surrounding him. I have absolutely never seen him create any sort of play, he's just a boring old dud. Thank goodness the Dogs chose Higgins, the amount of improvement Geelong would make if they had an amazing talent like Higgins instead of Varcoe would be too much to bare.
Now lets get to Dawson Simpson. I know, you neutrals probably don't know who I'm talking about but there's a story here. At the time Geelong were premiers in 2007, their VFL side had also won the Grand Final mainly thanks to their gun Key Defender in the name of Scott Thompson. Then came the 2007 AFL Draft and as it approached Geelong's second round pick, they could have got their Scarlett 2.0 with the proven performing gun in Scotty Thompson but instead, Stephen Wells exposed his idiocy by choosing Dawson Simpson, a lumbering hack who to this day has shown absolutely nothing at VFL level and despite being in the system for 3 years, isn't anywhere near AFL level. Everything from athletic ability, to tapouts to kicking, handballing, tackling, you name it is rubbish from Dawson. The Kangaroos will be laughing their hats off now that they got a proven 10 year performing gun Key Defender secured for the future while Geelong will be stuck with Richmond down at the bottom given their lack of a good KPD.
Now we have Mitchell Brown, the joke that Geelong wasted their first round pick on last year. Many people make fun of Carlton selecting Chris Yarran with their first rounder, with the argument that Yarran's worthiness was far from it but then people forget Mitch Brown, this boy was predicted mainly as a third rounder during the whole year last year and a second rounder toward the end, but I suppose because Geelong knew Mooney was an awful player and didn't think Hawkins would make it, they had to get another forward option. Unfortunatly, Wells again made a mistake choosing this rake, who will never be a good KPF like Geelong nuts are saying because what Wells didn't understand is that at AFL level, he will be a 3rd tall at best because he's slow and an unintelligent player.
Then there's Adam Varcoe. He's pretty much like his older brother, Travis, except much MUCH worse and will never make it. Bookmark that.
After looking at the rest of their list, the others aren't even worth their own paragraph because the one main word to describe them is average (sometimes terrible). Tom Allwright for example, he'll never make it, he's doing nothing in the ressies, he's merely a passanger and for some reason Geelong are keeping him in hope the 2% chance of him making it succeeds. Nathan Djerrkura's another example, except he's even worse being slow, poor disposal and worst of all, doesn't apply pressure (Yah, he sucks alright). Simon Hogan and Tom Gillies deserve honorable mentions for Geelong think those 2 are gonna make it. I give them both 30% chances but they'll both probably be at different clubs anyway given Geelong's refusing to play them and keeping old washed up garbage like Milburn.
and there you have it. Feel free to bookmark this thread as I'm 100% sure Geelong are ****ed for the future. Once the Gold Coast come in, not only will their picks be very late and poor quality, but they'll also be losing some of their best players. I'm 100% sure they'll lose either Selwood or Ablett to the Gold Coast and after that, they'll lose another to West Sydney and by the time they've lose 2 gun players and their old farts in Scarlett etc, they'll be in a rebuilding phase planned to last about I'd say... 10 years? Maybe 15?, they'll have passangers in their best 22 and all their draft picks from the GC and GWS will be rabble.

). But his nerveless shot early in the last quarter brought Geelong back to touching distance of the Saints, and we have another cup for our troubles.
