I am sure they have been trying to recruit hard. I am sure it isn't easy going up in standard and trying to compete with clubs used to paying out over $130k and you are only used to around $70 to 90k.

Doesn't explain why so many players are leaving?

So East Keilor starts before Geelong. What a joke.
Why would you think it is a joke. I would think most clubs would start in the next two weeks.

You are correct. Most clubs start between the 13th - 27th. Give them selfs 4-6 weeks training before Christmas.
Then most go back in feb for 10-12 weeks after Christmas

Geelong will go back to a 5-6 day per week 2-3 sessions per day. Paddock clubs might do 10-12 2 hours sessions pre Christmas. No comparison on workloads

Geelong players also get paid 12 months of the year. Paddock players get paid to play, not train.

Just hate it when people say local players are overpaid. The commitment for 9 months of the year is enormous.

I reckon their commitment is more than 9 months planks. It relative but just my opinion

Complete silence are they the only side not mentioning any recruits? I think we have heard from all Div 1 clubs with ins and outs. They will need to recruit heavily to win a flag given APW, Tulla, EK have all improved there lists from last year. Given Tullas recent influx sharks wont make the 4 unless they grab a few quality players in. The only thing i have heard they have re signed there whole list apart from someone who retired.
Page is a huge loss for CB too by the way a wonderful player for CB over the past 3 years

Heard a few things at the nags yesterday,
Tyson Young is off to VFL next year, heard he was training at one of the VFL clubs. Also looks like Rex Taylor and Jonathan Mullins are off to Moonee Valley along with Cory McGrath while Ricky McVeigh has retired.
Hynninen returning to Tullamarine from Lancefield, with Col Laurie also a chance to return now.

Hynninen is return as assistant coach only not playing just coaching.
Lots of plays train at VFL clubs this time of year but there are around 40-60 players training for 30-35 spots
Only watched Young play a couple of times throughout the year.....was staining his white shorts in both the Prelim & GF

Well he did win the league medal at 19 so not a bad effort from the young lad. And if he did get a bit nervous at 19 playing his first finals series in seniors is that really something to pot him for? He is 6’4 and 90kg, will only get better as he matures.
And Shane Woewodin won a Brownlow....and geez wasn’t he a good player

Page leaving CB is a huge loss for them. How are they loooking??
Can't see that happening when most of the top age boys will be needed for firsts and reserves if they haven't recruited.
Was talking to someone that has signed at craigieburn for next year and if true big Lance and craigieburn are holding there cards close to there chest this year and have a few aces up the sleeve,
Heard the very same thing.
They will have a fair bit of coin to throw around after losing Kite, Young and Page .
Have a really good group of young guys still there .
Lance getting paid the big bucks to recruit, so you would think they will be in the mix again with everyone else.
