A year later, this still stands…

The excuses being reeled out, the backtracking, the doublespeak, the leaps of logic etc emanating from salty cat fans right now are simply delicious. It’s impossible not to laugh.

I find it constantly remarkable and hilarious how people quote a post without addressing what’s been said in it, making it blatantly obvious they didn’t actually read or comprehend it. 🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦

Tonight I saw someone (not a Hawk) describe Geelong as ‘the club with no salary cap’. They’re probably always going to have talent fall into their laps, and thus are always going to be up there, with that being the case.

I certainly prefer the club that’s won 12 flags since the 1963 GF over the one that’s won 4 since then. (Despite their ‘amazing winning percentage’)

And if I say this to myself another 47 times, I’ll start believing it…. In denial.

They have probably eclipsed the turn of the century bombers as the biggest underachievers of the last half century or so, purely by how prolonged the affliction is now. One solitary, lone flag in almost a decade and a half of so-called ‘dominance’, top four finishes, ‘amazing winning...

I would rate him the second best player in the AFL (after Bont) at this moment. Who knows what happens from here?

Can't believe I'm seeing people reeling out the same, tired, vacuous, el blando old 'bUt iT's nOt iNtErNaTiOnAl!' cliches on a football forum in a thread comparing the video systems of soccer and football. This has got to be the dumbest thread I've ever seen in my almost 20 years on BF (and...

Are tanking/rebuilding destination clubs a thing?

Yeah nah, Tassie’s going to win a flag before we do…

You need to watch more Cholly then. His leap is quite astonishing and he's actually quite a strong aerialist and contested mark.

It's not that they're 'not much chop'. It's that neither are huge names in the annals of key forward history. One is still a teenager in his very first year, but playing above expectations so far and looking like he's going to be a gun. The other is having a career-best season, or very close to...

Imagine being a club that looks like being only the third in the entire history of the VFL/AFL to make finals after being 0-5, with a tall forward line that consists of Mabior Chol and Calsher Dear ….

We’ve not gone a calendar decade without at least one flag since the 1950s, so we have 5 more seasons to keep that record going. I’m confident….

Earlier in the season it was 'Tassie will win a flag before Hawthorn'. Amazing how media propaganda and click bait turns on its head, isn't it....

dA hAwKs hAvEnT bEaT aNyOnE! As it stands now, we have beaten three of the top five sides, plus the reigning premiers by 11 goals. And yes, I realise they are in nowhere near as good a form as they were last year, but they did have 17 premiership players in their lineup to our single solitary one…

YeAh bUt dA mEdiA sAiD wE iS sO iT mUsT bE tRuE!!

You didn’t read the post, did you. That, or you read it but didn’t understand it. Or, you read it and only saw what you wanted to see, not what’s actually there. So, read it again, and try to comprehend what’s actually been said. And while you’re at it, look up what the word ‘relative’ means….

I don't think we can see Geelong as anything but massive underachievers (and it's all relative of course). For all their 'dominance', for all their 'incredible winning percentage', and with the talent that's fallen into their laps and the teams they've fielded in this time, the fact that they've...

You realise this is the same as any award, yeah? Brownlow, Coleman, Norm Smith, any number of B&Fs etc etc. And you realise the Ayres award was introduced less than ten years ago, yeah? Was this supposed to be an argument’ against it? Because it’s one of the weakest I’ve ever seen…

There's a reason why the Gary Ayres award is called the Gary Ayres award. Could very well have had three Normies, was awesome in the '83 GF too....

If you haven't seen the media blowtorch being applied to Sammy and us this week, you must be walking around with a blindfold on and your ears stuffed with cotton wool....

Oops, my apologies.

2012, that would give us four in a row, which has only been done once before, and never in the AFL.

When I watch the Doggies these days, I see lines and lines talent but very little in the way of hunger and energy....

As far as players who were given excruciating amounts of time to prove themselves and still never did, the name Tim O'Brien springs to mind. Crossed to the dogs and has disappeared. Don't even know if he's still there without looking it up....

Can he be the GOAT???

It’s an Australian thing. Just look at the recent Voice vote. Imagine voting to deny your indigenous population a say, politically, because some lying gronk on the internet told you it was ‘aPaRThEiT!’ or ‘cOMmUnIsMs!’ and you got sucked in by it. It’s the reality we face here…

...beyond. I think this is partly what people mean when they say they want a return to the 'good old days', days when you could use words like 'n****r', 'b***g', 'p**f', 'f*g', 'b***h' etc with far less in the way of consequences. This is part of the basis of the brain-dead MAGA/PHON ideology...
