Breaking down Geelong's decade of dominance | SN Crunched

In 2011, Chris Scott led the Geelong Cats to the premiership as a rookie head coach. In 2022, he took them there again.
But what happened in the 11 years between wins?
They put together one of the most dominant periods of play the AFL had ever seen - but kept falling short of the goal.

Huge credit must go to Stephen Wells and the list management team. They get the best talent into the club, thats the critical first step. Go Cats! The greatest culture of all..

And with not a lot to work with in the draft.

And don't forget the Sal cap cheating.

scott is interesting because he could not be further away from the typical archetypal footy coach. the man is an enigma.

Just imagine if they were aloud a REAL home final every year..who gives a shit about sooky opposition fans sooking they can't fit in at gmhba ha..cat fans are all outnumbered at the mcg against the pies Nd tigers so they can get outnumbered at gmhba in a final..

[@darrenmiles-morland8038]

I couldn't have said it better myself. There are even fans of sooky opposition clubs that are so jealous of Geelong having their own proper home ground with a proper home ground advantage that they call our stadium things like a fishbowl and many other names a lot more derogatory than that. Some of them even have had the audacity to say that Geelong should be playing all of its home games in Melbourne simply because the stadiums are bigger there and it's a 1 hour drive up the Princes Freeway. But never before have I ever heard stuff like Gold Coast should have to play all of their home games at The Gabba because it's a bigger stadium than Carrara, and it too is only a 1 hour drive up the Pacific Motorway from Surfer's Paradise.

This bloke is obviously cherry picking to make Geelong look bad. Any fan in the world would love a team like Geelong . With healthy players, they will raise the cup, THIS YEAR!!!!!

Hawks tiger's dynasty was way better than most teams so far in the 21st century.

[@kevinohara2618]

maybe so but it was fleeting, they may have been great successful teams for a while but without doubt geelong has been the most successful club, there is a big difference between club and team

[@drongosadventures7576]

You are a deadset peanut lol..how do you think Richmond got that so called dynasty..ahhhh neale balme and Blake caracella come over from Geelong in 2017 to that punt road flogville

[@paulkyriakopoulos3444]

Tiger hawks got more premierships drongo

[@kevinohara2618]

The post is about 21st century (your own words), richmond won 3, both cats and hawks won 4, cats have had more finals appearances and more finals wins than hawks, cats have been out of the finals only once in tbe last 16 years, cats have had more home and away wins than hawks and tigers, geelong has totally been the most successful club in the 21st century
