Geelong and Hawthorn record monumentally embarrassing 800 page shitfight thread.

[Lethality]

Well getting drunk, stalking FB and posting strangers' pics definitely isn't the answer.

I honestly don't even remember how I worked yours out, may well have just been drunk.

 

[Xtreme]

Wow not only did they try to replicate the Brisbane Lions success on field, but they are doing a great job at bleeding money like the Lions had been over the last few years!

Lifted from the HUN article today...

Second, it would become clear our football team was uncompetitive in the “strength stakes”.

Our thinking was heavily influenced in 2011 by two-time premiership coach Mark Thompson, who was my senior mentor, and Brendan McCartney, my senior assistant coach.


Mark Thompson heavily influenced Essendon’s pursuit of powerfully built players, James Hird says.
Thompson and McCartney came from Geelong having built a powerful outfit.

Super strong and incredibly skilled, the Cats dominated the competition from 2007 until 2011.

Thompson and McCartney’s most poignant observation was that we lacked size and strength and so were uncompetitive.

Taking these two points together yielded a goal for our players — we wanted them to be bigger, stronger and healthier both as current players and when their career was over. To these ends, we interviewed three people for the role of head of high performance.

Our first choice at that time was at an English Premier League Soccer club. The fact he would not arrive until May, 2012 forced us to look again.

Had we secured this preferred applicant then the experience of the Essendon Football Club and 34 young men would have been very different.

Instead the sliding door we walked through introduced Essendon to the worlds of Dean Robinson and, at Robinson’s suggestion, Stephen Dank.

I don’t intend to go through every detail of every interaction the club had with them, solely because time and space do not permit and much is already on the public record.

But I’ll deal with the questions I am asked the most.

First, how did we come to trust those who were in charge of the supplements program?

The answer is that Robinson had made contributions to two AFL premierships at Geelong and NRL premierships with Manly. He was also appointed by the AFL itself to oversee the fledgling Gold Coast Sun’s strength and conditioning program.

Not a dodgy link to Geelong at all

When will WADA act and investigate the 2007-2010 Geelong Cats Football Programme?

This thread is a complete cluster ****. No winners but much embarrassment from both sides.

I'm just thankful i get to wear blue and white on a weekend rather than something that looks like vomit. It might be a small thin in life but I don't know how hawk fans wear scarves, hats, jackets etc. It looks ridiculous.

says he with the name of the most offensive shoe worldwide....and I bet you own a pair or 2

Nope not at all.

Its a fact , your about to merge with Melspoon , then required to relocate to another state to survive.

Its why your not a or never will be a Big 4 club.

It was a different era, the Hawks were a grand total of $1 million in the hole and the AFL had no intention or care in preventing a possible merger. Atleast a dozen teams over the past decade have probably had a debt accounting for inflation equal and greater than the Hawks debt of the mid 90's. Difference is now the AFL wanted to maintain a 16 now 18 team competition and constantly bails them out of the hole. It was the board and the members that saved the club, it means nothing to me that they flirted with the idea of merging. I for one certainly did not want a merger and become a member and have been ever since.
I couldn't care less if the Hawks are considered a big 4 team. They would be now in this current era, will they be in 10 years? Who knows. Name for me the alleged big 4? I will start with Collingwood and Richmond after that it's up for debate.
Carlton have probably lost that status, Essendon are on their way.
Do Hawthorn need Tasmania now? Absolutely not, but hey they are making a killing out of it much to the salty tears of opposition supporters.

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

In a sign of further desperation they've decided to cross and old path.

Here you go Boys, take your tears here.

Pound for pound Hawthorn is the 3rd wealthiest club in the league (after West Coast and Collingwood)

Richmond have rattled 4 times inside 20 years, Carlton has a negative balance sheet and Essendon has forked out $7m in fines / settlements with protracted legal cases to come (which could number $30m )

So in summary you moved to Tasmania to survive and are now called Tasmania hawks.

Colloquially known as the Dingley Dawks also.

The whores of the AFL. Never settle in one place just shop themselves around like a $2 harlot

Meh, we only take the shit drawing teams down there. Turns a profit on what otherwise would be a loss making effort playing the shit heaps of the competition.

So in summary you still have salty tears.
If not for Hawthorn, West Coast would likely be the most successful team of the AFL era.
1991 and 2015, Hawks owning the Eagles since 1991.

I'm still trying to work out what a "collective group" is.

 

[RedVest4]

I can't wait for Hawthorn to drop out of the 8 again. Their membership will drop back down to 30,000 members (bandwagon flogs, like all the squawky dickheads on BigFooty) and there will be talk of them merging with the Dees again. They'll end up having to play twice as many games at Tasmania - pathetic club.

The Hawfs still not taking the news well I see... like I said, you still have the chance in 2016 to surpass our dynasty. Unlikely, but where there's a will there's a way.

No minimum B2B requirement met, no dynasty.
That's not even taking the * Dank, Weapon PED factor into account. Geelong couldn't even go B2B or make 4 Grand Finals in a row while running the same supplement program that Essendon used.

Why didn't Essendon win a flag in 2012 if they were using the same program. It supposedly netted us 3 flags so it must have been good enough to get the Bombers at least one.

We have a new weapon this year... another dynasty is about to begin.

You're so clueless I'll try putting the facts into pictorial form in the hope of getting through to you. Look & learn stabby.
