That's what we're doing. Clark and Dempsey will be integrated this season, much like Bruhn and O.Henry were in 2023, then Holmes and SDK in 2022. It'll be Neale, Conway and maybe Knevitt and Mullin in 2025.Don't get me wrong, I respect Geelong as a side a lot but given your list profile I think the next few years for Geelong are going to be a transition period. You guys should not do a North Melbourne and cull your older players, but rather keep them for as long as possible and help protect the younger players, help them develop so they are ready to take over in a few years.
At the same time we're introducing some slightly more experienced guys to help the load. So it was Stengle, then Bowes, now Mannagh. A few in, a few out each season.
When everyone is on the park it remains a competitive unit.
