2006 Diary - Geelong
Grant Thomas's sacking has pushed the Cats off the front page.
However, their "club review" continues, with the scapegoat set to be coach, Mark Thompson.
While we all expected Geelong to do well this year, the feeling at AFLMad is that they have missed their opportunity for a flag.
The Corio Bay crew will again need to rebuild, with emphasis on a marking forward, and some rucking strength to take into their next tilt at the top four in two or three years time.
We recommend keeping the coach. Sometimes players need to be blamed when teams underperform.
Troublemakers need to be moved on. It's hard for a new coach to cut high profile players from lists, especially first time coaches.
Suggestions:
Set sites on 2009.
Keep the coach.
Move out the 'old timers'.
Sack the players which have let the club down.
Sack the trouble- makers.
Decide which one of the potential centre half forwards is going to be the long term prospect and play him.
