So you finally took the ba... err I mean joined the thread. Welcome! Finally this dish has a dash of vanilla.You've already been doing this for years but obviously haven't even noticed.
Lol, way to be suddenly outraged.
Meanwhile in other news, Dangerfield chooses Cats over Hawks...
Are you disputing my claim Geelong are in financial trouble cheffy? Most neutrals in this thread have agreed the signs don't look good but I don't see many Handbaggers seriously attempting to argue otherwise - yourself included.Bosk gets pulled up for his football naivety, claims baiting and immediately deflects.
Clockwork...
Take your tears back to the main board, we covered your inadequacies there.
The fact that you still feel the need to include that 08 flag suggests you're trying mighty hard to convince yourself without much success.
Go melt over on the Hawthorn board.

That thread for starters.

Embarrassing though he must be to you guys, Senor Stabathorn has made more effort than the rest of you put together to prove Geelong isn't heading over a financial cliff. I can only assume you lack the ability & the facts to do likewise.

Err you tanked back then with Collingwood. You were never that shit. We are shit.
Our success is another thing that proves we didn't tank. Everybody now knows that tanking doesn't pay, which is why Melbourne and Carlton are mired in their own feces.
collingwood and hawforn both tanked HARD in the early 2000s to setup their success. If you think we tanked - where is our flag ?
Why the **** ar eyou trying to talk footyballllll
for the lels and to refute your post - collingwood and hawforn both tanked HARD in the early 2000s to setup their success. If you think we tanked - where is our flag ?
well ?
I already explained how tanking doesn't pay. The tanking clubs Carlton and Melbourne, didn't get anywhere with their cynical methods. Whereas clubs like Hawthorn who now continually pick up good value picks in the draft, are able to have sustained periods of success.
Carlton have learnt from this model, which is why they are no longer looking for a messiah.
I don't remember the Hawks tanking and it wouldn't make sense. From memory they only had 1 season where they qualified for a priority pick.
I cannot remember much from when Carlton were suspected of tanking but I do vaguely remember a game at the end of the season where Carlton showed some strong signs of tanking, benching players, putting players out of position etc and particularly sending Fevola into defence?
I am very very very sorry that we are going to have to agree to disagree. You both tanked to top up on talent to take you forward. Mitchell, hodge, franklin, roughhead was more than enough at the time to set you up and what do you know you were the last team to pretty much receive the priority pick thus causing the rules to change again. Did you get a root today ? please do
Mitchell was a second rounder and the No.1 pick for Hodge was gotten from a trade. You have lots of opinions on this but you clearly haven't done any research.

Oh yes I have. Kts a widely common accepted position these dys to acknlowgede hawthorn and collingwood both tanked for their flags.
You can dispute it all you want - just ask anyone
Go on - I dare you, or ill setup a poll. When dealing with hawks its like talking to americans who have bever been outside their country let alone acknowledge there are other countries out there. With you its like you think you never tanked but we all know you did.

You normally seem like you have a good understanding of most things football, I'm afraid I'm going to have to serve you some more humble pie.
Hodge and Mitchell were both gained through trading McPharlin and Croad to Fremantle for picks 1 (Hodge) mid teens pick (didn't work out) Pick 36 (Mitchell)
Hawks were also a shit team so regardless of getting a priority pick the Hawks would have ended up with 1 of either Franklin or Roughead.
There goes atleast 3/4 of the players you mentioned. Oh and we also lost Franklin to free agency.
Theres plenty of other great teams in the competition, I'm not blind to that. I also honestly miss Carlton been a good team. My family growing up Aunties, Auncles cousins etc on both sides of the family were all either Hawks or Carlton and the rivalry was great in the 80's,90s. Was fun watching games together and the banter. Hope they come good again with Bolton. A touch of Hawks class might be just what they need.
Please don't setup a pole claiming that Hodge and Mitchell were gained from tanking you will look like an arse.
Not really, you dont like the way I present facts.Loose rhetoric isn't research either. Your errors from earlier on show you haven't thought this through, probably time for you to do that and hope that Carlton are doing the same.

Collingcould flags?? That would mean more than 1 flag. Collingcould have only won 1 flag since 1990.
My bad, fish away.Dean dean dean, you know I will listen to anything you post - you have proven me this
Which is more than about ... 48% x 2 -= 96% of the hawks on this very forum are not. Can you please stop picking apart my deadshit drunk trolls ? I am trying to catch dinner here.

Yes, that's right. Geelong had more members than Hawthorn in 2006, which was the original question to which I answered. Now take your insecurity issues and your irrelevant stats back to the Hawthorn board, where you can all sing Kumbaya and pray that you somehow win the flag next year to overtake Geelong as the best dynasty this game has seen.
You're welcome.
