Is this the beginning of the end of the great Geelong era?
Last 5 matches: Lost to Port, Freo and Syd, beat Richmond by 5 points and didnt look convincing against North last week I dont think..

It can't last forever. Geez they've given me some entertainment over the past 7 years though. Take a brave person to write them off just yet. should win our next 6 one would think so we'll still be right up there at the pointy end of the season no doubt about that. If we can play a part in finals, i'll be happy.

Still a great side. Probably just shows the depth in the side isn't what it once was.

The older brigade have just continued to play at such a high level that the predictions of a slide just haven't happened. Don't reckon they will bottom out any time soon but I think it shows that they will need everything going for them to have a shot this year

they only really had 2 quality players out...

I reckon this topic is bought up every year when Geelong lose a game... Geelong are to good not to bounce back. will finish top 4....

Was more talking about their bottom end, even with a full team. The old heads are still relied on heavily, and the youngsters are still a couple of years away from assuming the mantle. There will be a gap there.

Having said that I would not like to be Carlton in a weeks time :)
