You show me the complete team.
Geelong dont have a ruckman or a forward...
They also lack pace and their miles ahead of everybody else as far as list talent goes.
But lets face it ... with a salary cap and a draft youre not going to realistically get 22 superstars running out there....
You have what you draft.
You develop what you draft.
You drill what you develop.
You play with what you have.
Mind you a gameplan is there to minimise your deficiencies and play to your strengths to the best of whatever you have.
Thats what footy is
C'mon, play the game. No one is saying 22 superstars are available or possible.
You have what you draft...
Yeah yeah yeah... There you go, providing comments that cant be argued against in support of claims that CAN be argued against. You cannot take any 22 and win a Premiership. You have to have a mix and a great game plan and a great coach. The best coach in the world wont be able to take any 22 and win the flag. Its not about any 22, its about OUR 22.
We have massive holes in the list. We're having to play some freako over excited kid just to fill a 22 as we've got 10 players who are no good. The Hadley experiment has failed. We have too many weaknesses - 2 AFL quality forwards only, 2 ruckmen who are too young, a soft midfield brigade and a short defence!
Im saying that not all deficiencies can be covered, particularly ours. We still trade 4th round picks for finished players from other clubs, whilst we're still 10 players short of a good list!
