Yeah Geelong seems to trade their top picks out for experienced talent.
Notwithstanding, his record developing younger players is extremely poor. Hopefully it improves with a change in focus by the club not to trade away their highest draft asset for another experienced player this year.
I do wonder whether subconsciously the stated Geelong goal of playing finals every year is a factor. We generally succeed at that goal but then do not much more.
Now 3-8 in finals since the 2011 flag.
For a club who's constantly up there and has had 4x top 4 finishes in those 6 years (a great achievement), it's a sobering record. No grand finals.
What is going on there? Are they simply marking time and middling: not good enough to truly challenge and not regenerating either?
Do they need a change in philosophy?
They were pretty s**t the second half of the season. This year, in particular, would be disappointing for their fans, at 11-1 they looked the real deal.That 3-8 in finals is now 3-10, and they’ve got the reigning premiers next week.
Five top 4 finishes in that time.
A straight sets exit from top spot would surely raise some major questions...?
It’s quite strange really, they look so good throughout the H&A season.
Brilliant post, absolutely spot on, they are their own worst enemy by wanting so many home games, all it does is set them up to failEvery year Geelong get into finals because of their special home ground and every year they lose finals. It's an anomaly of our great game.Despite this mediocre team getting a free ride every year, Chris Scott blames the AFL ,the weather ect , and football is the poorer for it.
When will the AFL act to rid this team of their unfair advantage that ruins the finals every year? Chris Scott has done a good job pretending they are persecuted, but the real elephant in the room is the free 8 wins given to Geelong every year on their cheat ground.
Hey Geelong, take a leaf out of West Coast's book and get some normal ground dimensions .
most of those were on your silly narrow HG. It fills you with false hopeThey were pretty s**t the second half of the season. This year, in particular, would be disappointing for their fans, at 11-1 they looked the real deal.
No doubt but it was all before the bye. After that the bleating started about finals venues and it was all downhill from there.Nah that's crap I think. Geelong had a good record in Melbourne this year.
It's the selection and the defensive boring game plan.
You missed Henderson and S SelwoodTheir development of young players since 2011 has been s**t. If they hadn't lured Dangerfield they'd be also rans. Recruiting spuds like Tuoy and Rohan is their development strategy. Oh and rehiring Ablett was a master stroke lol
during the H&A the players didn’t have to hear their coach bitch & moan at every chance he gets about not playing at GMHBA for 2 weeks straight though.Nah that's crap I think. Geelong had a good record in Melbourne this year.
It's the selection and the defensive boring game plan.
Not playing a Ruck against Grundy would be up there as an issue.
