In Nov & Dec so come back then and call them 24 or continue being wrongThey turn 24 this year, cupcake. Everyone from the 2015 draft does.
The fact that you're getting this angst over player ages in the context of your club's youth is... yikes.In Nov & Dec so come back then and call them 24 or continue being wrong
The fact that you need to lie to try to make your point makes it a pretty flimsy argument sweetheartThe fact that you're getting this angst over player ages in the context of your club's youth is... yikes.
Nah, it's fair to say Carlton's youth is trash, and two guys picked 6 years ago doesn't change that notion much.The fact that you need to lie to try to make your point makes it a pretty flimsy argument sweetheart
It's ok to be wrong, it happens to the best of usNah, it's fair to say Carlton's youth is trash, and two guys picked 6 years ago doesn't change that notion much.
Also, calling two guys 24 year olds when they turn 24 this year isn't nearly as heinous of a crime as you're trying to make out.
Whatever helps you sleep at night, your club's youth is still objectively awful though.It's ok to be wrong, it happens to the best of us
Staggered Jordan Clark isn't getting a game. Would love him at Hawthorn.The Geelong is old and slow thread is not here. But yes if you must know I personally am not sure about it and would prefer a couple of younger players were in our side as opposed to Dal and Higgins. Smith I don't mind. Age really isn't effecting him much. He was brought in to help our spread when moving the ball forward on wider grounds.

How did Lewis go at Melbourne? Fringe player at best. How many years did Mitchell last at WC? Lewis was fairly cooked, JOM and T.Mitchell were both better than the player he was at Melbourne. S.Mitchell was still a genius, and I wish we'd been able to keep him. What makes you think we wanted both Lewis and Mitchell to actually leave anyway? Supposedly we wanted Lewis to stay, but he wanted to be special cased and given multi year contracts when almost nobody else his age at the club was getting them. Melbourne offered him 3 years, and he was terrible in year 3. I've heard very credible reports that Mitchell wanted to leave at the end of 2015 for WC, and we talked him into staying to help with the 4-peat (in fact may have forced him to stay), but when we missed out he still wanted to go, and we honoured his wishes. It also let us get some younger players in as a side bonus, but them wanting golden handshakes elsewhere seemed like the bigger factor.
Is letting two club legends go when they get better offers elsewhere really what you are calling 'crazy'? If they both wanted to stay we'd likely have kept them, but they didn't want to stay so we had to replace them. We had to decide at that point if we might be able to get up for another flag. Should we top up a team that had narrowly missed a prelim or should we do a Carlton? We probably looked around and thought that while our list wasn't what it was at its peak, there was no really standout team challenging, and with a more even competition getting a decaying list up with a few topups is simply not as dumb as your Hawthorn hating mind would like to see it.
doesn’t deserve a game. Should be made to work hard on his game at vfl level, and was ordinary on Thursday. Holmes just needs a tankYea I want him in our side. Holmes too. Yes could understand if others like them also. We do need to be finding more out about some of these younger players.
It's way to early to make an assessment of Collingwood's kids, but I am extremely underwhelmed by the Eagles youth to be honest.
Oscar Allen aside, there does not seem to be undrr 23 Eagles player that looks like evolving into a future A Grader/Star.
It's sad when you need to piggyback on 24 year olds as your "youth".
Whatever helps you sleep at night, your club's youth is still objectively awful though.
What point? I just correctly pointed out your youth is trash and a couple of you have desperately clung onto the fact that McKay and Weltering are still 23, even though they're in the age group of players turning 24 this year.You were wrong in trying to prove a point.
Looks like 16-17 drafts didn’t go well for us, though I’m pretty confident with TDK.
Stocker I think will be a good player, and we still don’t know about Kemp and Philp yet.
We have plenty of quality youth coming through.Listen, I respect Geelong and take my hat off re the fact that you haven't bottomed out yet. Kudos. But even you must be a little concerned with the loading up on 30+ year olds, with a lack of quality youth coming through? At some stage it has to bite. And could be one almighty cliff you are staring down. We're in that position now, but at least we're playing a truck load of kids.
There is some quality youth down at Geelong, but when comparing to pretty much every other club it would be found lacking.We have plenty of quality youth coming through.
Some of ours just haven't been exposed as much as others.There is some quality youth down at Geelong, but when comparing to pretty much every other club it would be found lacking.
Every team has some quality youth. Geelong are still like 14th-18th on the youth quality ladder.We have plenty of quality youth coming through.
I've been hearing that for 12 years.Every team has some quality youth. Geelong are still like 14th-18th on the youth quality ladder.
Yes, and?I've been hearing that for 12 years.
I'm pretty content with what we have in terms of youth at VFL level.Yes, and?
Just because you've survived at the top with continual top-ups and mature age draftees doesn't mean you have amazing youth in 2021.
