Our strategy right now is to do nothing and hope for the best it seems.
Would be nice if they made a choice to
A. Bring in genuine best 22 players for a proper crack at the flag through aggressive trading
Or
B. Sell off as much as we can to reload in 2-3 years with a fresh batch of talent.
But nope, we are going with
C. Do sweet **** all and hope some fringe players take us from 14th to a flag while all our existing players age and devalue so we can truely bottom out when Tassie comes into the comp.
They tried to do A but so far nobody wanted to come. Houston, Waterman, Battle, Peatling.Our strategy right now is to do nothing and hope for the best it seems.

Acknowledged.
They failed at it yet again like they have the last 3-4 off seasons at bringing in anyone decent hence why they should resort to B.
Wish I could fail at my job 3-4 years in a row and still be employed.
I like Melksham. Plus, I mean, someone has to play for us.
I'm pretty sure that he wouldn't be signing on with an expectation to play every game next year.Yeah but he isn’t going to be part of our next flag. All he is going to do is take the spot on the list and field of a youngster who we could be drafting/getting games into.

Yes, we need to rebuild, but we also need to fill list spots and have some decent senior experience around the club.
I'm fine with it. Not over the moon, not down in the dumps. Just fine.
Yeah maybe so. If I had a bit more confidence that he was there for culture / standard setting reasons but might play a good part of the year in the VFL then I’m totally for it. He’s apparently very funny and well liked (when not hitting people in restaurants) trains hard and has a great footy brain.Yeah but he isn’t going to be part of our next flag.

I’m striving to even reach your ambivalent levelBut then again I'm basically ambivalent to everything to do with the club at the moment, so eh
Exactly. We have 6 spots opening up + thommo will make 7. Prob grow to 8 or 9 depending on a couple of other fringe players shopping themselves around.I like Melksham. Plus, I mean, someone has to play for us.
What planet are you living on thinking he wont play every game. With Goody still here you assume he will and work backwards from there.I'm pretty sure that he wouldn't be signing on with an expectation to play every game next year.
Thanks noob.Honestly, that's really a feature in this draft generally. Almost all of the top end mids are excellent at navigating through heavy traffic. Draper, Jagga, FOS, Reid in particular, but even Smillie is really light on his feat and good in traffic for a big guy.
The only guy you might question in that regard is Langford given his poor agility and 20m sprint times in pre-season.
Our flag window has dropped down, and slammed shut.All the good options have clearly said no so it's scraps and last chance saloon guys yet again while we are meant to be in our flag window.
Neither TMac or Melksham should be anywhere near our starting lineup come round one.
We should be using all our picks in Rnds 1 & 2 in the draft, and including any extra picks we can muster for those two rounds.I did say we should be concentrating on younger players. The positive if we did get him, is that he costs nothing and adds depth to our tall forward stocks which tbh is pretty fn thin. And I highly doubt any gun kids are knocking on our door with all the headlines atm. From what I've heard other clubs are also interested in Membrey, so who knows.
We’re going to be disappointed again aren’t we?Neither TMac or Melksham should be anywhere near our starting lineup come round one.
Agree totally.We don't need a key forward. What we need is the cattle around the likes of JVR and Turner. Hawthorn literally just won a final with Calsher Dear and Nick Watson as their main goalkickers and both are first year players.
IMO, he's told to play the behind the ball role. Mainly. Probably a bit of the zorko type.We have one genuine small forward and that's Kozzie Pickett. I'm still a bit unsure on Chandler but clearly he's programmed to fairly defensive minded first so hopefully a new forwards coach will release the shackles a little.
With where the game is going it's all about forward half turnovers, ground ball gets and speed inside 50. We have none of that.
Geelong have:
Mannagh
Miers
Stengle
Close
Hawthorn
Watson
Ginnivan
Connor McDonald
GWS
Toby Greene
Brent Daniels
Darcy Jones
Toby McMullin
Sydney
Tom Papley
Will Hayward
Oliver Florent
Isaac Heeney
Brisbane
Cameron
Lohmann
Rayner
Ah-Chee
Bailey
This is a Goody bomb long and deep setup.Couldn't agree more. Need pace, pressure and goal smarts.
This also requires a mindset shift from Goody, who for some reason plays three talls + Fritsch + Melk up forward.
Fritsch.I'd much prefer two talls, Fritsch and then three smalls.
Move Petty back too.
