Shocking forgot to add "if Scarlett doesn't like you personally you don't get a game, he will literally bench you for years so all young players must kiss Scarlett's ass if you want to get a game".
I don’t disagree with you that we aren’t a “destination club” (which doesn’t really have a concrete definition anyway). But reading between the lines (ie. speculating) of what players say, they are looking towards the future. And not just next season future. Longer term future as in 2-3 years down the road. You don’t hear that often and we definitely did not hear much of that from 2016-2019. I don’t think (ie. I’m speculating again) players say that if they don’t see a plan in place or a team on the rise. And you wouldn’t think they would say those things if they didn’t enjoy playing there. My point is that these little things help contribute positively to building a solid culture.
Also, I agree that losing top players is not sustainable, but the only top end talent we've lost in the last 3 years is Cerra. Our core of Darcy, Serong, Brayshaw, and many others have signed extensions. I don't think there are too many more "flight risks" on the team right now. I'm not ready to worry about losing one player when so many more are staying. Now we just need to make finals to show that the plan is working.

Might just be me, but if I'm an incoming club CEO and you've got a high number of players under 25 fleeing the building because they're supposedly "not doing the work", I might be considering asking some questions of the senior coach?
Say something directly to the person and behind closed door.
Shows a lack of class.
Hell yeah. It would have been challenging with covid but that applies to every club. The Geelong issue is that their strategy is all about now.
Will be interesting to see how they play this draft with quite a few picks. They will be hot for Alleer and Knevitt as ready to play options.
Fremantle defends new recruit Jordan Clark after Cats boss’ post-trade jab
Dockers hit back at Cats boss’ ‘inappropriate’ post-trade whack

Agree. If the stories are correct re Scarlett and Clark, I think Scott is the person who needs to be looked at. Not just appointing Scarlett, but the club needs to be accountable for the development of all players.
Couldn't say it better myself... and I write copy for a living.
Comments like this are what make a young player reconsider their "I'm happy to play anywhere optimism".
Culture is as culture does.
Hopefully Shocking will do as much damage at Kardinya Park that he did at the AFL.
good point re Scott. He has been pulling the wool over people eyes for a long time now. Recruiting players to finish in the top eight , but not win a flag.In other words, keeping himself in a job.

so interesting how he’s just been punted from the Cats, literally landed nowhere in the AFL system. All time fullback premiership player, smacks Ballas then bam…. Just walked off into the darkness. So Geelong and Scott. Nothing to see here …. Darlings of Victoria “we don’t do midtable blah blah” let’s be clear this Selwood, Hawkins , Dangerfield Crew has now put this club on a precipice of a decade of mediocrity and meaning 2031 may be the soonest to a premiership it will get. 20 years since their last flag.

“We are going to give him an opportunity down back, we think he can be a really good half back for us and it’s where he played a lot of his junior footy.

Hmm, so who will possess the coveted wing positions?“We are going to give him an opportunity down back, we think he can be a really good half back for us and it’s where he played a lot of his junior footy.

I'm guessing Tucker and Aish will have it now with Young, Western, Henry, Fredrick and perhaps either Wilson or Hamling given a shot to take the spot. Oh, and either Johnson or Erasmus
Great to be so flush with wing options.I'm guessing Tucker and Aish will have it now with Young, Western, Henry, Fredrick and perhaps either Wilson or Hamling given a shot to take the spot. Oh, and either Johnson or Erasmus
Wonder where O'Driscoll and Chapman may see opportunities.
Chapman in defence, O'Driscoll at Peel for now but down the track he'd be a candidate for a midfield role if good enough.
re the wing, its quantity over quality at the moment but hopefully a couple of the youngsters can improve enough to take the spot.

Spells the end of Wilson if Clark is playing defense, can't really play both of them tbh
I thought so too, but apparently Wilson has been down at the Club alot during the offseason. Maybe something's clicked for him?
