Geelong - Too old, too slow?

[Bradkli]

Locks for top 4 and will get danger back when it counts...will win all their games at home...they will go into finals with 4 straight wins and 6 of last 7...have a great “fixture” to end the season...

Nah.

Always a sensible idea to make these threads in early April.

I don't even think Geelong fans would be too far up their high horse on this one.

Nah

West Coast is an anomaly

Tell me how many posts I have on the cats board..but yes, I’m a cats fan...

Richmond aren’t making the top 4, neither are west coast. Bookmark this.

Geelong are a lock.

AFL careers are being pushed out longer with better player management

30 is no longer old

There are a lot of variables. Mundy is not an inside mid. Would Dangerfield have the same longevity?

selwood and boak will definitely get to 300 and well over 30. Danger will likely follow suit.


Mundy may retire with over 350 games and possibly in the top 10 most games played ever

Selwood is on 315 already

I agree, but Geelong are still pretty good even if they don't win like this every week.

lol what

 

[Whiskers]

Good to see us moving the ball well and hitting targets unlike last week.
The opponent was ordinary today but the signs are good, unlike last week or the 1st month.

I don't think this is actually true. There's always been players that go well past 30. There's always been players that are cooked by their late 20s.

You could argue the preparation and recovery has gotten more professional, but the flipside is the games have gotten more demanding as well.

Danger will have a 2nd career as a GAS clone in our forward line, the transition has already started. Sav, Danger and Cameron will play 2-3 seasons together as our new 3-prong attack when Hawk retires.

Minus the good kicking.

LOL are we gonna see Tigers too old and slow this week too? A lot of their older players looked awful last night and dees speed was the difference.

P.S. This is a joke Tigers fans don't get mad.

Every team has an expiry date.

I just love how the media is so quick to write off older teams when they have a bad patch. Fully expect cats and tigers to be up their come the end of the year.

Ablett missed a lot. Granted he went for some outrageous shots which sometimes worked.

 

[Sweet Jesus]

I know they won today, but that was extremely mediocre. Even before Higgins got injured, they moved the ball at a snail's pace and look miles off the better teams in the competition right now. The new rules do nothing to help them either, their senior citizens are struggling to keep up the pace. Their coach is also very negative-minded, and doesn't seem too keen on changing his ways.

A lot of people consider the loss against Adelaide as an anomaly, but Adelaide are a fast team. Even with their inexperience, I'm not surprised Geelong struggled that game.

They have Jeremy Cameron and a 31 year old Dangerfield to come back, but I'm not convinced that is anywhere near enough to be contenders this year.

I think people will regret judging Geelong without seeing Jeremy Cameron in their side.
