So you don't actually know what's going to happen or what our list profile will actually look like and instead are jumping to the worse case scenario

We haven't even had the 2021 draft, and as for season 2022, it's still 5 months away

Maybe try looking at the positives for a change rather than focusing on some preconceived, unknown and unfounded negatives
Ok I’ll stop my CAT- astrophic crystal balling! Pennant 22!
 
Gotta be the worst under 30 list in 2024 in the competition. Our butcher jobs in September in 16-17, 19-21 gonna sting when we are fighting for the spoon 24 and beyond.
Should have another 10 draftees at that point. Maybe some good FAs also. Stephens may surprise. Constable may be playing
Can't be certain we won't continue improving from here
If Dahl, Higgins, Joel, finish next year, another few spots open up
I think Hocking will reinvigorate.
Chin up China

Not sure what's worse for Constable. That Freo are preferencing Blakely or that there was a subtle inference of West Coast not really promoting any young mid, and still aren't interested.
 
Not really. Season 2022 will soon be upon us. We don’t have a high pick this draft we are all in next year for September again and then flop so we won’t get a high end pick next draft. We have shipped off Clark & Krueger and not really anything outstanding in the under 25 brigade at our club compared to many other clubs. It’s not laughable actually it’s very very real.

You really do seem to confuse opinions for facts hahaha. It's not very very real it's just your opinion and going by your track record of predictions on here not a very reliable one.

Gotta admit trying to keep up with this thread, and understand the goings on with picks and player swaps, is like watching 'Last Year at Marianbad' without subtitles. Miss a day a day and there's 50 pages down...quite incredible...

So apologies for the ignorant question, but after all this chatter, all the back and forth, all the time and sweat, all that's really happened so far is we've picked up a 30 year old discarded ruckman from Hawthorn?

we aren't the list management team, just a group of fans discussing our list management, so no amount of chat in this thread is indicitative of the clubs recruiting efforts.

If you are correct..then its not great timing as that may be when a Tas side enters the comp...any time 2025.2026... so. IF we are at the bottom, trying to rebuild without talent in the draft... we will be in a world of hurt for an extended period.


One hopes we can do better with the picks we will have.

Yes we can be certain because nearly all our best players are at an age where every year makes them worse players.

of our top 10 players only 2 dont fit that description.

Here’s a whacky idea but hear me out: maybe we should replace each football player that retires with another football player. Try and get good ones, maybe even better ones than we’ve got.

I’m calling it “list management”. Should I send my idea to Stephen Wells?
 
Yet 11 people have agreed it was a stupid comment.
Trading out stars for picks is for the loser clubs.

That crap is beneath us. We get 4-5 shots at bringing in talent this year.
We didn't get a midfielder in. Big fu**in whoop.
In geelong bubble land. Yeah i take that as a complement. Especially given which posters liked it.

it is a big whoop if you actually want to win a premiership. Cos we aint winning one with our midfield last year and next year danger, selwood, guthrie, duncan are older again. So we only get Worse.

you yourself have said many times we aint winning a flag with the next batch of midfielders And should get rid of the likes of parfitt and narkle and well thats kind of the only mids we have under the age of 29.

But flags is not what a lot of posters are after now is it. Lets be honest. You know we cant win one with this midfield. Its no big whoop. Some of you now appear to just be after proving some sort of blood oath to the cult of chris scott and pissing off real supporters. Kind of like trumpians who just like to piss off democracts. Your in it to piss others off. Thats what support is like for a certain group of geelong posters now. Its not about flags. Flags are no big whoop.

Terrible approach. You dont get draft picks with retired players And those retired players keep you middle road and prevent you from earning better draft picks. Its a double hit.

if you cant win a flag now and you are man enough to know it you trade a large chunk of your best players who wont be in the current window. Get draft picks for them and then fall down the ladder a bit for a couple of years and get better draft pick rankings.

What you are advocating is the nth melbourne approach from the 2000s. How did that pan out? 20 years of mediocrity And a slow fall to the bottom.

Pretty sure one here is...or at least keeps an eye out on the drift of sentiment.
