And today the bandwagons have started to roll, Geelong are one dimensional, Geelong have no game breakers , Geelong lack A grade players , Geelong are slow , Geelong over achieved last year , Geelong lack a quality forward , Geelong should trade Bartel for Whitnall , Geelong are not proffesional ,Gelong will never go anywhere without FF that cant mark overhead, Geelong have a captain that cant jump , a back line that’s disintegrating a non existent forwardline, a slow uninspiring midfield, Geelong have got big problems.
Now a fair percentage of this is just the usually public/media over reaction to the current realm of results. The media are fantastic on reporting the bleeding obvious, some “supporters” have no tolerance for this current climate of having a bees Richard between a top 4 side and a bottom 4 side but I ask one question, are they right? Watching us get beaten by the Dogs , by the Saints , watching the players that they got for basically being crap sides , namely priority picks, go on and flog us, I have to wonder do we have the cattle? Fully fit, every one firing in ours and every other club Id say we are short of 2 match winners to be a top 4 side. A Cooney/Ball type, quick quality mid and Kosinski / Riewoldt / Brown type , that being a match winning forward.
I have been tailing the Cats for far to long, through far to many years to be satisfied with another group of player that ultimately were just short of the best. Already the new Dogs are starting to show at least as much much promise as us,WC have dominated, Saints just have too much quality, even Freo have what I consider the best player I’ve seen this year and what do they have in common? Sants, Dogs, Wcoast , Fremantle, they are all recipients of early picks and we haven’t had a pick inside 7 for 15 years.
Am I being too Jack like , too negative, I really hope so cause the alternative is repulsive. More mediocrity, more middle ground ,ohh gawd I think I feel sick
