Roast Geelong can't develop young players

[Mr Meow]

Geelong will squeeze the last of the juice out of Ablett, Selwood, Bartel, Mooney, Scarlett, Taylor and the like and by the time GWS comes around, you will see Geelong trading out a whole bunch of players for the draft picks.

Sorry, but this is not the way Geelong plays. If that were the case, Geelong would have offloaded a whole raft of stars last year after not making the finals. They will continue to blend trading names in with plucking unknowns from obscurity.

I don't see how they stay competitive once Enright, Chapman, Johnson, Kelly, Ottens, Mooney, Corey, Ling, Milburn and Mackie are out the door in the years to follow 2010 as GC enter the competition, given they haven't had decent draft picks for a decade.

I heard Dempsey, Holmes, Humphries and De Koning were all going to be selected with pick 1 but only we could afford their salary demands.

Funny, I heard all four lads are now the proud owners of premium coastal land for well under market price.

Odd. I heard we give that prime land to all first year falcons in exchange for coming home when they end up good.

The shit ones we evict and re-sell the land #ruthless

will end up there on $500 k in wages , and $2 m worth of swampland, after paying much much less .


But no amount of pork barreling , brown paper bag, friendly farm land , sheep shearing , beef breeding handouts will delay the inevitable .

They are cooked .

So are Geelong going down the road of top-ups again? Are they that unwilling to develop youth?

LOL like 80% of his posting is about the Cats. Brand new poster and immediately confrontational.

Absolutely nothing suss here people....

Go cats- leading the way in so many ways. What a club.

Lawson Humphries with another 21 touches hitting targets off the left and right foot all day. Just a typical performance from the 5 game veteran.

Developed by the west coast academy as well
Obviously no credit to Geelong for his development so the OP still stands
