It would be interesting to get peoples views (ie a fan review) of what are the factors that have caused the following.
In 2004 Geelong and St Kilda were rated as the future "glamour" teams of the AFL. We were creditted as having a great list, GT coulkd "smell the premierships coming". Today Geelong is rated by the critics as one of the beast teams of all time (lost 2 games since beginning of 2007). Saints are hoping to scrape into eight.
a) What caused this and what are the lessons learnt?

St Kilda have had about 12 players retire since 2004.
Geelong have had something like 3 players retire since 2004.
Involved in that statistic are many of the reasons for this!

Sacked a coach at the wrong time and went backwards - hopefully the team will find its footing over these finals and get back on track!
(would geelong have won last year with a rookie coach?)
