Chris Scott: "We're not old! We're.... umm... experienced okay??" 😿

[A Cut Above]

Experienced or just plain old? Why Scott is 'comfortable' with ageing Cats

Geelong coach Chris Scott doesn't care about the average age of his list - it's a terrible marker in AFL footy

www.afl.com.au

Didn't take this clown long to get defensive about the Geelong's average age. (clarification- of footballers, not meth addicts)

I've seen Trilobites younger than the clowns on their list. No wonder SHocking introduced the stand the mark rule given lateral movement diminishes with age.

Coming from a Bottom4thorn supporter who’s club recruited young stars in Hartigan & Phillips.

I'd rather recruit old players that get on the pitch than injured young players who barely rehab and send dick pics around.

Like Bosk telling his Mum 'I'm not fat. I'm big boned!'

How's Scully and Pattonk working out for you?

Four lame deflections from four extremely average Handbagger posters. Same s**t, different year essentially.



Is the Geelong Football Club the #1 employer of 30-40 year old males in the Corio Bay region yet, or does it just feel that way?

Scott talking absolute dribble. What a surprise

Dad’s army currently trailing Essendon reserves by 3 points. With 10 fewer scoring shots. Bombers should be up by 8 goals.

Not many 30-40 yo males in the Corio Bay region are ever gainfully employed, so the answer to your question is yes.

Geelong this year to be the first AFL club to have a player suffering from Alzheimer's and require surgery to replace a hip

Walked down Swan st lately? Makes Corio look like the Maldives.

A lot to be worried about in Coriostan.

 

[Carson Dial]

Good news for the Cats, they officially qualify for Groups 1A and 1B for the COVID vaccine.
Who would of thought there’s an upside to old age.

Essendon couldnt get over these geriatrics on crutches....embarassing much?

Geelong average age...25.3
St Kilda average age...25.4

St Kilda is home to the oldest list in the AFL heading into the 2021 season

I did not know my Mother-in-law plays for Geelong

Pretty obvious that even the best top up strategies can only work for so long before you have ended up with a list that will need total rebuild and 'rebuilds' take a lot longer to put in place these days - unless you are an AFL franchise and get a constant access to better talent and more of it faster. Sydney/Suns will rebuild much faster than any Melbourne Club could.

I can understnd the top up thing - the draft is always a lottery - but you have to be in it to get the occassional win stay out of it for too long and you've doubled up on difficulty. Geelong/Hawthorn no longer 'own' the destination Club call on FA either so .. even established strategy comes to an end as other Clubs compete away the the previous smart call.

Scott would be absolutely besdide himself seeing his side lose a GF - chucking picks at Cameron wont help his diminishing midfield capability for too long - he is copying his brother's strategy at norfs - and it will more than likely lead Geelong to the same place.
