When will Geelong go away?

[Benny78]

When do you think Geelong will drop out of the 8 and become an established bottom 8 side?

Not necessarily saying it won’t ever happen but not on a consistent level and not any time soon. Culture is huge. Clubs like Geelong(2007-now) hawks(2008-now and through 70s/80’s), swans(2005-now) just won’t spend many years outside the 8 at least in the forseable future.

But cultures can change, each of those clubs have had bad times.

Yet clubs like Collingwood, Carlton, Melbourne, Richmond(excluding 2017), Essendon, north have all had eras of high success but their culture has changed their dominance has waivered.

2021 is my pick - GAJ will be retired, Selwood will be closing up shop, plus Hawkins and Taylor I expect will be nearing the end if not retiring. Stephen Wells has remarkable form with mature-aged recruits and their list management team have been the best on the trade table but I think these holes will be too big to fill in just a few years.

Cats don't have the necessary forward artillery to get the job done this year....Not to mention a greener than green defence.....Last flag was what 2011?

7 years is a long time & they won't be breaking that duck this year, or any time soon either.

Geelong will go out this year and stay out for a while. They'll hover around the 9-14 mark for a further 4 seasons. Very much like the hawks. After that, no idea. My special gift I have can only forecast 5 years into the future.
