The Year to Come - Geelong



Cameron Ling shows off his new haircut.


The Cats started to fall last year.  Some have put it down to the wheel turning, some have put it down to a few aging players, some have put it down to the game passing them by.  But I put it firmly on one individual.

Bomber "I am a hypocritical lying mofo" Thompson.

His actions in annoying the best midfielder in the comp single handedly must have annoyed the living mofo out of every player in the team.  And while there is no doubt that Bomber was instrumental in the creation of the Cats Dynasty and removal of the handbag tag, there is also no doubt that his time had come.  Those chalky nostrils were a source of embarrasment down at the cattery, and the end of the road is a good thing for all concerned.

So on to 2011 and the uglier Scott brother takes the reigns.  Great move.  With a bunch of top class players getting into their last 2-3 years, the introduction of a new invigorated coach will bring something new and invigorating to the table.

Will it be enough to win a Premiership?  Provided those aging players are out on the park, then they are still amongst the best in the comp, so it's just a matter of managing them.

Finishing Position: 3rd - 5th
