Not according to Caitlin, although they improved somewhat in Kelly's second year albeit from an abysmal start.

Success is no doubt a factor but Geelong have missed the finals once since 2006. I don't see too many people highlighting this whenever someone goes there citing needing to live on a farm or whatever.

More rubbish from you.
Adelaide thanked Geelong for being professional to deal with, while Geelong had to cough up a first rd pick for a 34 yo, which they did no problems.
Can you provide a quote of anyone within the AFL staying Geelong have ever been hard to deal with?

This.
Up until Tim Kelly's trade request was announced Fremantle should have been making every attempt to get him. According to all reports, they were.
Now he has requested West Coast, it's time for Freo to pull up stumps and politely see their way out.
The whole Fremantle connection is a figment of media's imagination. He has never stated anything other than a desire to play for the Eagles.
Cats or Dockers?
If she is saying the Dockers then she is basing it off their manager view who had players ten years ago.
Most recent past players are saying that Fremantle is very supportive.
If she is saying the Cats, I think she has a chip on her shoulder.

A fair bit of mayo on that claim. A downgrade of pick 19 to pick 24 isn’t “coughing up a first round pick”
Possibly. But pragmatism may well come into strong consideration on the last day of the trade period if WC and Geel are still at an impasse. In that situation, I’d suggest that if Freo have a reasonable trade option to get Kelly back to WA then he’s going to look at it very closely.
He hasn’t been unequivocal this year.
“Tim Kelly has asked that the club trade him to Western Australia, with his preference being to play with the West Coast Eagles.”

If it’s only a preference to get to WCE then he hasn’t blocked us out, unlike last year.
West Coast.
The fact is that Geelong due to their credit hasn't lost a player of worth except Ablett. By the way, the aging stars that left ie Johnson, Chapman weren't worth much when they left.
Their is no example in recent times that a valuable player have left.
Therefore, this is a test case.

You are being disingenuous. Kelly's Manager released a statement saying he requested a trade to the West Coast Eagles as they can best provide the support he and his family require.

That’s Geelong spinning it in order to press upon Kelly the fact that they’re not just going to deal him to West Coast for whatever we offer. It’s completely inconsistent with everything else that’s been said, particularly what’s come directly out of the Kelly camp.
His manager’s statement later that day made clear he’d requested a trade to West Coast. And when asked at the airport yesterday Kelly was diplomatic about Freo but clear about where he wants to be.

You asked this exact same question on the Eagles board.
I replied with a detailed account of how this trade has played out in public with examples of Geelong being difficult. You chose to ignore the substance of my post.
Why would his manager say that to put the Cats offside?

Judd apparently had the same attitude. But not to the point of agreeing to go to Richmond over Carlton so West Coast could get pick 2.
Why would it kill his career?

Downgrading a dubious compo pick us basically giving up pick 5...
I don’t see any connection between Judd and Kelly. As far as I know there are different people.

Cats. She let it slip last year after the failed trade.

Because the Cats misrepresented his client’s position and he needed to set the record straight?
Because making clear that Freo aren’t an option being considered makes it easier for his client to get to the club of his choice?
We’re going around in circles so I’m going to stop now but until Kelly signs, I would hope we are still in his ear.
