Should the Dees and the Pies do a hard reset like the Tigers?

Or fold, who cares.

Geelong's 2024 prelim starting 22:

-6 players 30 or older (2 of them - Bews and Stanley - should drop out of the side in 2025)
-4 players aged 26-29
-12 players aged 25 or younger (add Smith and SDK in 2025, Conway too if he's injury-free)

It wasn't an ancient side, nor will it be in 2025. Dempsey, Holmes, O.Henry, Neale, Bruhn, Mullin, SDK, Smith all have improvement in them. Then a whole stack are entering that sweet spot of prime-aged football around 26 years old. It's a well balanced list.

It would appear VDubs has some competition.

Although Dubsy is naturally pessimistic, I don't think even he has said burn it all down and start again. He, like most of us are aware we've been shedding ourselves of veterans or shuffling them into peripheral roles quite aggressively. There's 3 key figures left that are 30 or older. It was 9 or 10 around the 2020-2022 time.

Pies won a flag in 2023, and beat the 2024 premiers both times they played them in 2024.

But we should trade every player we have with trade value, to guarantee bottom 4 finishes for the next 5 years?

Nothing is revered as much on BigFooty as "young and shit...hopefully good in 5 years".

Regardless of how this year goes, we certainly need to think about how we get some younger talent in the door to assist N Daicos at our next flag window

No both teams need to hold on for dear life until atleast Tassie enters the comp.
