Gold Coast

[Sttew]

Could Jimmy be destined for the Gold Coast?

Hope not. Having said that who do we consider our untouchables? It was about 5 - 7 years ago that Bomber T declared Kane Tenace "untouchable". Gold Coast can have him.

In 2 years time our untouchables will be -

G.Ablett, Selwood, Hawkins, Bartel, SJ

That's about it. Scarlett will be too old to be considered. The rest you may entertain swapping for picks if the offer was too good to refuse.

That's probably about right.

The unknowns will be Varcoe, Mumford, and even Harry Taylor - they are improving and could be elite by 2011. Then again, if the Cats fall away, they could end up crap.

In two years time we may be looking at a very different Geelong side - one that is on the wane and in the need of a rebuild. In that scenario anybody 27+ is fair game with the possible exception of ablett.

With guys like Adam Varcoe, Djerkurra and Motlop waiting in the wings, I wouldn't be surprised if someone like Stokes left. He will earn considerably more money up there and could very well form part of the leadership group.

I think it would be naive to think that we will not lose a player from our 22.

Bartel, Kelly and Mackie would be the guys I'd target as getable.

Bartel could probably demand dollars and a Brownlow Medalist would give their side a bit of legitimacy.He could even be an option for their first Captain.
Kelly and Mackie would be good solid additions that may be attracted to more dollars than they would ever get at Geelong.

if(big if )the current side wins another before granny before GC17 enters.There would be some players very interested but who? most of them would be already 2 time premiership players and might chase the all mighty dollar..

IFFF we win the 09 flag, that would cure a lot of latent negativism and doubt,amongst many supporters, and 2 flags in 3 years, I wouldn't be too stressed about departures. However, IMO , untouchables would be Tomahawk, Selwood, Ablett, Varcoe(predict big things here),Blake, Mumford,Taylor, Mackie, the ongoing nucleus of a really good team.

Hawkins and Selwood are the two I don't want to lose. I just don't think they are replaceable. I wouldn't like to lose any of the local boys (Ablett, Bartel, Ling) for sentimental reasons but other than that I am not too fussed. Other teams will be hit a lot harder I think.
