A single player might not take you all the way but add selwood,and henderson also and that might

Since Geelongs last finals campaign in 2014 They have lost.....
Christensen
Varcoe
Stevie J
Kelly
Rivers
Stokes

They have gained.....
Clarke
Stanley
Dangerfield
Selwood

They also have the following players over the age of 30.....
Bartel (32)
Enright (35)
Lonergan (31)
Mackie (31)
It's going to be intresting to see but my gut feeling is they might just make the 8 next year and will realy need some of there kids to step right up if there going to make the GF.

To me it looks like they are trading away their future to remain competitive instead of backing in their drafting and development and just rebuilding for another dynasty. They won those flags mostly on the back of nailing their draft picks and developing their own, not really bringing in many players at all. Now losing so many of those players to retirement and trade they are also trading away multiple picks. I think they will fall hard on their arse in the near future.

They were blessed also with some father and sons that were quite handy. ;D

Ablett
Scarlett
Hawkins

Heck even Blake played in a Premiership yet a few pre seasons ago we entertained the idea of drafting him to the club as some sort of quality ruckman.:snidegrin

Geelong have barely bottomed out in the draft era have remained competitive. Even in years that they have not made finals they have not been far from the 8.  2003 being the odd one out. Don't think they have finished below 11th in the last 30 odd years. Also blokes from the Western Districts and the Bellarine Peninsula either come back to Geelong or stay there due to the country feel Sleepy Hollow has and the close proximity of home. Current case in point Dangerfield.

Blake would have to be vying for the honour of biggest spud to win a premiership medallion in modern football.

It's actually a shame he doesnt play for us now. it would break up the chaplin chaplin grigg chant
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

your not setting the bar very high

2.10pm: WHAT ARE THE TIGERS UP TO?

Good discussion on NAB AFL Trade Radio about the Tigers and their relative lack of activity until now.

Terry Wallace seems convinced that the Tigers were convinced they were frontrunners for Adam Treloar and Chris Yarran and that their strategy has been blown up a bit given Treloar's desire to join Collingwood.

They haven't secured Yarran from the Blues just yet and have asked questions about Jake Carlisle and Jack Steele.

Wallace makes the point if that you're throwing up names once the trade period has alrewady started, then that's a fair indication that all the best laid plans until then have come to nought.
