But yes... with possible retirements of the following (unsure if any of these blokes have retired yet or if all made an AA squad)..
Gaz, Burgoyne, Gibson, Kelly, Mackie, Lonergan, Taylor, Petrie, Morris, Murphy, McVeigh, Simpson, Montagna, Stanton, Waite, Michael Johnson, Lecras & Dawson
*I think out of that group Gaz, Burgoyne, Kelly, Simpson & Potential will all go on again.

It's the closest Jesse White will get to any sort of accolade.

HB - S Dempster, S Shaw, L Hodge
C - M Boyd, S Thompson, J Watson
HF - D Armfield, N Riewoldt, ?
FF - S Johnson, J White, ?

The team is filling up nicely so far and it's not even end of the season yet.

Waite will be forced into retirement. 50/50 but age averages won't help him.

Gary "I don't want to be here" Ablett Jnr could be forced into retirement and this side.

AFL will engineer a move, and some ridiculously big compensation package for GC.
Gives them a feel good factor/PR win over Ablett returning to Geelong, and an excuse to prop up GC without it being *too* obvious what they're doing.

Add O'Meara and it's a devastating midfield.

Ivan Maric has retired this year as well.
Not a super star but gave his all.

If he is faking his injuries then GCS should sue him for his salary. If he is not faking them, why would Geelong want to go near him? There would be an expectation that they play him every week...

I doubt anyone would expect him to play every week.
But if they can 'adjust' his salary (they'd have to to fit him into their cap after all, and as surmised, the AFL would be on board), then a dozen games, and the PR/merch benefits to the club/player could be considered worth it.
nb. I don't think this is fair, and thus shouldn't happen, but we're talking about the AFL here, and for them it's a win/win...so who cares about the rules/fairness/integrity right?
