How about 2011 hey? Does anyone think it was Chris Scott’s coaching that won the flag, or was it a champion team?

11 TO 19.we have had some chances.What group? Only Selwood, Duncan and Hawkins remain from the 2011 group.
Just watched our '13 final against the Hawks.
Top players still on the field - Sel & Silk.
Despite all the rule 'tweaks' it is amazing that the over the shoulder rule (except from when it is so blatant the umps have no choice) hasn't changed in more than 7 years.
Blitz was played from 1 end to the other in this game, including wing & ruck Prolly still our best athlete.
Searching for where I mentioned anything about our best player.

Who would that be, in your opinion?
In retrospect, I don't necessarily rate that as the worst. 2003 was a weak draft year overall and there weren't a lot of good picks after Tenace anyway. Clarke, Trotter, and Dunn drafted after Tenance were similarly unspectacular picks. The best of the lot after him were Stanton and Mundy. Just not a very good draft.Hard to argue based on the pick value... although he played 54 games... perhaps players taken in a the later rounds that are drafted and didn't play that number ?
To me the lesson to be learnt... one pick can fail even after your best draft ever... if you want to build thru draft one need multiple picks and multiple years.
The biggest draft bust from all 18 AFL teams this century

THE BIGGEST DRAFT BUST FROM ALL 18 TEAMS THIS CENTURY
Kane Tenace (2003)
Normally extremely shrewd in the draft, Geelong missed the mark when they selected Kane Tenace with their first pick in the 2003 National Draft. Taken with pick seven overall on the back of an outstanding draft year with the Murray Bushrangers, Tenace failed to nail down a permanent spot as the Cats embarked on a golden era. Hamstring injuries saw the speedy winger miss out on both Geelong’s AFL and VFL premierships in 2007 and was ultimately delisted two years later. Tenace played 54 games in six seasons at Kardinia Park.
2014 we 'upgrade' our pick 14 to pick 10 to get Cockatoo. Pick 14 becomes Jake Lever. Which would have been better for us?
