We have all heard past Geelong players, Lingy, Harley, Cam Moooney etc etc, mention they feel our current team reminds them of what Geelong was like back in 05-06.
I personally have never really taken notice much of this, ofc the dream is amazing because we all know what Geelong have been able to achieve, and if we could achieve half of that, we'd all be very lucky.
But watching Open Mike on Monday Night, hearing Cam Mooney talk candidly about Geelong in 05-06, I can see some very big similarities between our current team and Geelong.
Cam mentioned that one of the biggest problems was that the players were all great mates, and while it was great, they were unable to pull each other in when one made a mistake.
Our leadership dramas have been well spoken about, and this year so far we seem to have taken more control on the field, but I am yet to see a senior player or even a junior try and pull another player in when a fatal mistake is made such as a structural issue or a mistake that goes against our game plan and how we want to play.
Are our players too close? Are they able to step up and pull each other in if one makes a mistake?
Would love to get everyone's point of view.
