I actually agree now. He played some excellent footy at times this year. He doesn’t have anything more to give though and he’s playing on instinct nothing more.
What Geelong need is a phased retirement of their players, they don’t want a large chunk going in one or two years. It is not an easy job, but it must be some out, some in.
Do you play on and slide down the other side, tainting your image ?. Better to go with some fuel left in the tank.
Will Joel take one for the team, opening up a team spot for next season ?.
