3 recent flags but the Cats are nearly as broke as Brisbane. Why?

Sick of these minnow clubs making loses and hoping for AFL hand outs.
That's almost as embarrassing as the spelling error in the thread title. :oops:

Melksham pre-drugs saga was tracking along okay. The theory is that Essendrug ruined him. It's not a bad theory to be fair.

I'll reserve final judgement on how calamitous a signing it is til next season. If it comes off, Goody is a genius.

Its true, I once saw melkshem tackle a rampaging Chris Judd in the brownlow year.


Not sure what he has done since mind you.

As an aside, your question was answered, now your point.
My point is Geelong had to break its' 40+ year Premiership drought to (momentarily) attract more members than Hawthorn, and such an event's unlikely to occur again in our lifetimes. Admittedly most Hawthorn fans come from a much more highly educated & financially sound socioeconomic group so the comparison isn't a fair one.

I'm genuinely worried about Geelong's long-term viability. We've seen how fast the club's fans have dropped off after its' most successful era and while Colin Carter might be happy to blame it on the town's economic woes I suspect the club's finances are being mismanaged almost as badly as its' playing list. The Cats have gone south ever since Neil Balme jumped ship and the AFL needs to step in and do something before it bleeds more millions. Appointing a new CEO would be a good start, Brian Cook seems to have lost the plot even more than Stephen Wells. :eek:
 
You're club's "profit" is on the back of an AFL - Handout

Geelong is investing for its future.

Something that Norf would know nothing about.

On top of this - Geelong paid Tax to the AFL to help keep clubs like Norf alive.

A simple thank you would suffice.
If you lose $3mill a year it looks like you are in need of more handouts than us :$
 
Wow, a $3,000,000+ loss.

What a trainwreck of a club.

Wouldn't expect much better from a pissant regional club that's only won 3 flags in half a century tbh.

Horrific colours as well.

Incorrect actually, our membership numbers were vastly higher to Hawthorn's preceding our 2007 premiership. Hawthorn's numbers started to significantly rise after they saluted in 08, to which they have more than doubled since.

The irony of a confirmed bandwagoner Hawthorn supporters preaching 'fairweather' is not lost here. :drunk:

What was that about well educated again? I mean you couldn't spell a simple word such as 'embarrassing' correctly.

This section of your post is a comedy of errors. You've brought a knife to a gun fight, again ironic. As bad as Geelong's loss has been this season, due to the ground redevelopments, it has nothing on Hawthorn's financial downturn and almost merger with Melbourne in the 90's. In fact you were a basket case.

Geelong are set for record membership numbers despite 'missing' the finals for the first time since 2006 - the year our numbers were higher than the Hawks - and our long term viability is sound, hence the funding to complete the stadium upgrades. Remembering we were in turmoil when Cook took over the reigns, to which the debt was wiped away, and quickly turned into 3 premierships.

If you were positive Geelong were about to disappear into obscurity, you wouldn't spend a large chunk of your life fixated on the club. You'd wash your hands and kindly depart the scene.

But no, your obsession knows no bounds and your fear is palpable... you're shitting bricks at the prospect of Geelong rising again just as your ageing list takes its last breath.

I'll quietly sit back and await the mass exodus of Hawthorn supporters from the Bay as the bandwagon loses its traction and crashes into obscurity.

Next time you bring a knife to a gun fight, make sure it's at least been sharpened.

The Handbaggers have made a massive loss as they pay to upgrade a stadium their notoriously-fairweather fans will have scant chance of filling.

The city of Geelong is fast becoming a ghost town with no jobs to be found. Yet the Handbaggers have poured everything they made from their most-successful ever era into upgrading KardiniaPark. If only the Pyramid Building Society were still around they'd have a more sensible place to invest.

So now everything is being staked on Dangerfield to bring the crowds back, otherwise the club will be forced to go cap in hand to the banks to beg them to write off its' debts..... again. :$



4727490-3x4-340x453.jpg

Worse still is knowing Victorian clubs like Hawthorn & Collingwood will be the ones who'll end up footing the bill to bail them out in 5-10 years.




Why is it only ever Geelong supporters trying to pretend H&A wins are more important than premierships?

Maybe we should switch to Lost Grand Finals instead since the Cats are leading that department after 1985 too. :p (don't stab me bro!)

Yep I agree, nothing's changed.


What baffles me is why the Cats are further upgrading their stadium when they only filled it to capacity twice this season. Heck they couldn't even get a full house to Cory Enright's 300th game... so why break the bank on more empty seats? By the looks of this picture the money would be better spent on escalators & conveyor belts to empty the ground faster midway through the final term. They could even demolish half of the car park to justify their supporters' favorite excuse "oh we have to leave early so we don't get stuck in traffic!".

I can't decide if you're more obsessed with Hawthorn, stats or knives.

When was the last time Geelong had more members than Hawthorn?

This thread's starting to look like a game of soggy sao with Nakia as the biscuit

Given how much Hawthorn contributes to the equalization fund we've every right to demand the AFL appoints its own financial officer to oversee Geelong's operation. I'm worried in 5 years the club will no longer be viable as a going concern and we'll end up having to bail them out.

Last I heard the Cats are nearly 10 million in debt. A couple more years of missing the finals and their membership will go down even more, empty seats at Skilled Stadium will be the norm, and all the old players from their glory era will be gone. Maybe the league should take preemptive action now to head off a bigger crisis down the track... I suggest a merger with the Bulldogs to become the East Horsham Cats & Dogs.

Sorry I only bet with "true" Geelong fans. :rolleyes:

I should warn you Nakia, Reginald went very very close to welching last time he lost a bet to me.

I should warn you Reginald, Nakia is somewhat loopy and will probably try to stab you if he loses.

The biggest shock of next season would no longer be Geelong recording a profit, but the loser of the Nakia/Reginald bet not welching. :D

Funny you should say that when I haven't seen too many Bay13 Hawthorn-related threads you haven't contributed to. :rolleyes:

Haha.. I accepted a bet with you recently which you repeatedly threatened to welch on. :)

What's ironic is a Freo flog arguing with a Handbagger. They're broke and have plenty of recent flags, while you're swimming in coin but the cabinet's empty. Ever thought about asking to buy one of their cups? They Bradburied 2009 so they might let it go cheap!

Elite Master, its true that Geelong is playing a dangerous game by investing everything into a stadium it will rarely if ever fill but that's hardly grounds for comparing it with Norf.

I'll admit to being massively #concerned that Geelong has become a burden on the Victorian taxpayer and that the club's financial prospects are grim, but that pales in comparison to Norf's disgusting track record of shamelessly surviving on AFL handouts for decades. Any talk of Norf profits are not to be taken seriously since they only exist because the club loots more from the AFL Equalization Fund than almost anyone else on a yearly basis.

Geelong may be headed down the road to financial ruin but at least they managed to pay $300k in AFL wealth tax this year, a disproportionate amount of which will be headed straight into Norf's welcoming coffers. As a supporter of the AFL's biggest charity case you have no right to point the finger at Geelong.


My point is Geelong had to break its' 40+ year Premiership drought to (momentarily) attract more members than Hawthorn, and such an event's unlikely to occur again in our lifetimes. Admittedly most Hawthorn fans come from a much more highly educated & financially sound socioeconomic group so the comparison isn't a fair one.

I'm genuinely worried about Geelong's long-term viability. We've seen how fast the club's fans have dropped off after its' most successful era and while Colin Carter might be happy to blame it on the town's economic woes I suspect the club's finances are being mismanaged almost as badly as its' playing list. The Cats have gone south ever since Neil Balme jumped ship and the AFL needs to step in and do something before it bleeds more millions. Appointing a new CEO would be a good start, Brian Cook seems to have lost the plot even more than Stephen Wells. :eek:

Ironic considering I don't see you contributing any. :p

And now his signature is Geelong related as well.

3 flags and still the anoos is stung by the Geelong footy club.
 
Incorrect actually, our membership numbers were vastly higher to Hawthorn's preceding our 2007 premiership. Hawthorn's numbers started to significantly rise after they saluted in 08, to which they have more than doubled since.

Geelong averaged 17784 members prior to their 2007 flag, Hawthorn averaged 18895. I personally don't boast about membership numbers, but it's enough to point out that you're wrong again.
