The Geelong Cants

Their window is perilously close to being shut. Kind of like middle aged ladies and being able to have children.
They'd be in quarantine.
After seeing what Garry looked like after 2 weeks of room service, I imagine Taylor will resemble Mr. Creosote
This mob literally have an excuse for everything

Just giving the players another out. Bit like moaning about home finals.
Yeah, I agree with a lot of the above, Chris Scott really comes across as an absolute wanker, probably a very good coach but just not very likeable. All that crap last year about the little sniper master and danger deserving a flag, yeah, give me a break - Bob Skilton Jr you could say that about, but danger? Nah, also comes across as unlikeable. Hawkins is a total sniper, how many players has he injured in his career? Very unlikeable. They really are an unlikeable bunch.
After the GF last year I said Geelong would be back and they were a very well run team. They had just led a GF at half time and then they added a couple of decent players. They were back, but, unfortunately for them they were back in the usual way and failed again. Clearly a very good team but just not quite the best. Closer last year though. The drubbing by Melbourne looks a lot worse than the way they lost last year, way less convinced they will be back next year and that list profile looks very bad. Just can't see how they can hang on for more than maybe 1 more year. Even then they will all be one year older and slower so I suspect they will drop to maybe 5-8 next year.
Geelong have been a very well run club. They have issues such as the ageing list and not much in the way of younger players anyone knows anything about because they never get a chance to play. If Miers is the best of their younger crop they are in trouble. But they have been a very well run club, note the past tense? They now have a new CEO, one S Hocking, so we'll see if they continue to be a very well run club.
As for the rule changes, I can almost hear the big big sound coming out of Geelong for shorter games so their geriatrics aren't so worn out by the end of the year. I really hope this does not come to pass. Australian Rules Football has always been a fairly long game, made longer at the moment by the eternity between a goal and the restart and the ruck nomination. There is simply no reason to change the length of games.

One last point - can people never ever call that 1 goal wonder from GWS who went to sleepy hollow Jezza? Jezza is Alex Jesaulenko, and Cameron is not fit to tie his boots.

Aussie Rules isn't akin to soccer leagues where winning premierships is solely dependent on being the first on the ladder at the end of the home & away season. You must win finals for success. In 11 years Salty Scott has only demonstrated that in full once off the back of a dynasty of (sorts) premierships and still a relatively young list at the time 2 years prior
Geelong needs a massive clean out.
You can't go into another season with Henderson Miers Stanley Menogla Dalhouse Rohan and even Blivass.
I could easily add Duncan and Kolomyjazzni.
Shocking list.
The bloke that takes over Scott will need 10 yrs + (Hardwick after Wallace) time to rejuvenate

It's an even bigger Job than that. Dimma started while we were at the bottom, they still have to begin the bottom out phase yet. It'll be more like St Kilda post Lyon.
Not sure that’s as big a loss as you might think. Wells, like many recruiters, did his best work early in his career. That was now 20 years ago and he’s been pretty average for a while now.
