It was very intersting watching the replay of Round 14, 2003 last night on Foxtel of Geelong V Port Adelaide down at Skilled Stadium.
Geelong were 15th and I think Port were on top at the time. Geelong had players like Ablett, Bartel, Ling, King, Graham, Scarlett, Harley, Corey, Enright and was extremely interested to see Beamer in his first AFL game wearing Budda Hockings number 32. This side was getting flogged most weeks but looking back, 7 or so years later - the majority of these players are 2 time premiership players!
I just wonder whether we look back on games from the last couple of years in 5 or 6 years and are seeing 1 if not 2 time premiership players?! Just seems as though where we are now was where Geelong were back then?!
