The Geelong Cants

Yep, as long as we have Lynch fit and healthy our forward line looks great too, post Lynch is where the planning needs to be. (As Jack fades, a tall forward combo of Lynch and Miller (or Bauer/Ryan) will hopefully cut it.)

Totally and we have some time to do this. Fix the midfield now and I'm sure the club is working on how we sort the succession plan in the forward line and keep the defence humming too.

Have to keep lots of balls in the air at once but you have a go and do the best you can with the restrictions in place. Sometimes you f*ck up and sometimes it works.

I've been of the firm opinion that Geelongs runs of success will peter out, even though it has been very well managed and long in comparative and historical terms. Good management has been required to pull it off, and they have drafted well, but they have had a run of extremely good fortune with father-sons, Hawkins and Ablett, and western district/ local superstars who will play for lower wages, Danger and Cameron. Normally a side needs to bottom out to get 2 generational players like these, like us with Dusty and Cotch, but they didn't, twice.

Nothing lasts forever, and Hopper baulking at Geelong due to them not being able to match us with their touted 'salary-cap model', read farmboy factor, is the first sign of the beginning of the end of the golden run. If their farmboy factor stops being a factor, they'll ditch it pronto and drift back to the pack.

A loss next week in the PF will definitely be the beginning of the end as you say snakey. Especially for King Pricky sitting on that throne thinking he's got it made already.

They don't make the GF
The potato heads will burn down Shitskilled Stadium

 

[Little Ziggyadee]

If Geelong lose the GF
I will be celebrating like if we had won a flag.
Scott will not know what to do.
He will be close to retirement

Shouldn't be too hard. Half of it is gone already.

I can understand concern about our forwardline, but our backline currently includes 2 of the best young KPDs in the league, (Balta and Gibcus) 2 gun young(ish) smalls (Rioli and Baker) plus Grimes, Broad and Vlastuin all returning. Grimes has a year or 2 left, then a couple more for Broad then another year or 2 for Vlastuin. Our backline, personnel wise, looks brillant for a while yet.

Our backline did leak badly though.

 

[Tigers of Old]

The media love for Geelong is sickening - they are in a league of their own in that regard.

King Hutchy goes for Geelong. I don't think it's any coincidence the love in they get.

Our backline did leak badly though.

A combination of midfield issues, and instability i reckon- we had key players moving in and out of the backline all year, and some key injuries. obviously the injuries can happen again, but we dont need to spend money to "fix" our backline like Barrett suggests.

Exactly

Our biggest problem all year has been a weak midfield giving easy clearances to the opposition and failing to slow the opposition transition. Then the rotating injury list didn't help.

Wasn't sure how we were going to fix the midfield but the club had a plan!!

And he hates us with a passion..why do you think he got of KB as soon as he took over
Geelong in the mornings with Pinoccio
Geelong in the Afternoons with The massive Richmond hater Russell
And a Geelong head calling the games in Hudson.
I can't think of 1 Richmond person who works for Sen.

Just on this, I don't think that's correct because I was listening to him and Liam Pickering on their Sat morning show and apparently he's a Carlton supporter as Pickering was giving it to him when they missed out on the finals.

Geelong
Supporter
I would give him shiit
Even with Garry Ablett you can't win a flag
And he would always reply go and support that useless side from punt Rd.

Does anyone think that the AFL is talking to GWS behind the scenes to bend us over.
Hocking would be sooking like a *smile*

More likely one of Vlastuin's teeth has emerged from it.

Hawkins and Cameron are the only things holding them back from going over the cliff.
