Great first post you'll fit in well

But, but, but, Pert said it was the best culture he had ever seen

You do realise Geelongs 2025 GF team was ~40% changed from 2022?

Change or die a slow death

You forgot Ben brown and hibbo

We’re doomed I tell ye. Doomed

Harmes, Jordon and Spargo weren’t even best 22

Not imploding, just a much needed reset.

I think we've been imploding since 2021 and it's quite jarring to see some strong leaders steadying the ship, it's making everyone feel a bit uncomfortable but i think if we take the emotion out of it, this young group coming through is where we need to focus, and move on from 2021 and the Goodwin era.

We have to do this reset before the Tasmanian devils come into the league. Otherwise we are going to be screwed like we were when gws and Gold Coast did. Also, how many of those players genuinely will be part of our next premiership tilt? I genuinely believe people don't want our legends to move on, but I think the culture they have created is the reason we have been subpar since the Grand final.

Think you might be right. Maybe Goodwin found it a bit hard to go the tough love to some who went over the mountain with/ for him.

Our performance and hard edge has been off for two years.

Yeah, but how important can they really be if you can't even spell three of them?

Jones? Hunt? Melksham? (technically, JJ was 23)

I'm plodding.

Some fires have to burn

And its costs us big time..

Let's all just take a deep breath and wait to see how things look after the trade period and drafts have been completed.

I curse my old man for pushing this club on me, up the dog park and a mate goes just change, it’s a ludicrous statement, you’re born to support a club and stick with them. This club has been the hardest to stick with, this is Neeld all over again, first time coach comes in and thinks that being uncompromising is the way to do it, he’s gonna fail and he’s gonna fail big time.

I’ll never forget King kicking Jeff White in the head, it was right in front of me, well he’s doing it again, kicking the whole club in the head, Steven King is going to fail and fail badly, he’s a bad choice, we should have given it to Buckley, but NO, the club wants an answer right now, can’t wait another frickin’ day, I’m too old to go through this [censored] again🙄

In 2 years' time, we may well find that King is a Neeld Mk. 2, but I can't see that eventuating. We are a far better-run club with significantly more talent on our list than we were when Neeld was appointed, and King is a far better-credentialled and more experienced player and assistant coach than Neeld was.

Jackson and maybe Trac will play good footy elsewhere.

Even Dogga has yet to reach the heights we all expect him to and with the role he is being asked to play I’m not sure he gets there.

Trac has a huge question mark over his courage and brutality and we know how he is with kicking and accuracy. This is unlikely to improve.

All the others you mentioned are nowhere near their ‘21 form and will never get back to it.
