A high third rounder more likely.True but maybe a high second rounder.
GWS would give a second rounder imoA high third rounder more likely.
Hawkins isn't a missing piece for any contender.
Hawthorn traded a high pick for Lake because they needed him as he was the missing piece. No contender needs hawkins
Yeah , GeelongSomeone in the premiership window would give him a 2 year contact.
Three first round picks, one goal for every pickGeelong's big name recruit in Cameron really failed to fire. What a shame.
A high third rounder more likely.

The media lavishes praise over teams that are good....Geelong have been one of the best teams for 20 years.It isn't a vic thing. It's a media thing. They have had a massive hard on for Geelong for 20 odd years
Would love Tomahawk at the Pies for a couple of years, bloke has been the best KPF in the game for the last 3 years.Melbourne would be pretty scary with Hawkins
Great post.The excitement comes from the potential of seeing younger players debut and start to improve. We've played some horrible to watch footy at times in the last few seasons but watching the likes of butters, rozee, duursma, Bergman, drew, Georgiades and Jones come on and look the goods is what keeps it exciting.
Feel like Geelong has kinda robbed themselves of that with the dads army and constant topping up.

Joel's 14th final series, 36th final....he is now just 3 finals behind Tuck!!
Meant to add Caddy when I said 5, so in total 7 in that 5 years. If you want to go back and list your delisted/retired players from a couple of years ago then you'll no doubt add to your 10. More of a response to the inference than Richmond recruited in players for our flag years.Grigg, Townsend, Caddy. If you're counting all the Geelong players who've been here long enough to rack up 100 games (or who were healthy and weren't selected), you have to do the same for Richmond.
I think Scott is too entrenched in his own siege mentality to make the correct decisions going forward. A bit like Rambo. He will just keep fighting even when the war is clearly over. He's too far gone.
What Geelong need now is the old wise head like Trautman who can call Rambo in and tell him it's time to put down weapons.
Somebody at Geelong needs to have the courage to stand up to Chris Scott and get him to stop the pointless Guerilla war.
That's a fair photoshop job.

Cats are 19-18 in finals since Selwood has been there. Not sure which one he missed. So he is about even now. As captain in the negative.how many losses?
People seem to easily forget the blatant tanking that Melbourne employed also to get where they are. In my view this is effectively the same as draft tampering, and they should've been hit harder than they were at the time with loss of draft picks, etc. As much as I despise Port, at least they've traded well to get where they are without completely bottoming out for years on end.Those long suffering Melbourne fans...who sat through belting after belting in the late 2000s, then spent the majority of the 2010s also stuck in bottom four finally get a season of some success...yet if they don't win the flag, is that a failed season according to bigfooty nuffies?
Or Lions, they have blown three straight top4 finishes...should they head back to another decade of bottom4 finishes?
Yep, the world of bigfooty where how many top5 draft picks you have is better than seeing your club win...as it enables you to talk about a positive future where you might win some games.
Geelong's first and second round picks they've traded away for older players since 2014:
Pick 21 for Rhys Stanley
Picks 9 and 28 for Patrick Dangerfield
2016 first rounder for Lachie Henderson
2017 second rounder for Zach Touhy
Pick 19 for Gary Ablett (turning 34)
Pick 30 for Shaun Higgins
Picks 13, 15 and 20 for Jeremy Cameron (2 mid-second rounders coming back)
That's at least 8 quality young players you could've brought in. Remember the 2007-2011 days? That was built on the back of picking up guys like Bartel, Chapman, Kelly, Mackie, Corey, Ling, Enright and Ablett over a four year period.
Sure, you've had some stinker first rounders over the last decade, but are you really comfortable with using that as an excuse for filling such a large portion of the list with old players? Especially considering the draft is where you built your 07-11 champion team?
Still a ducker ..... ooops must check my spelling.The media lavishes praise over teams that are good....Geelong have been one of the best teams for 20 years.

Untold - the Scott debacleThey are cooked
If they top up and make another prelim after this I'm ready for the Netflix doco
Untold - the Scott debacle
Its the “rob tomorrow to pay today” strategy Hawthorn used. Eventually you’ve got to sort tomorrow out but if you think your best are still good enough you keep going. Hawthorn overplayed their hand and went too long.
