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

Trolling your sorry arse is the cheapest of fishing. You're so tilted toward the melt, that a simple nudge blows you off topic and back to defending your mega Welch, cowardly threats, and the use of mummy as a human shield.

You're powerless to rise above it, because you're scum, and you'll always be scum :)

Its true Shawt, the Bay can be difficult especially for noobs. I'd like to see Nokia McStabStab posting in more threads - give those newbies an easy target.

I've made an entire supporter base melt for the best part of 3 months, so you're not alone.:thumbsu:

The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which relatively unskilled individuals suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly assessing their ability to be much higher than it really is.
 
And the greatest teams can win 3 in a row, they don't require 5 years to achieve 3 Premierships.
We've already established that 3=3. :thumbsu:

Haha, the tougher side of a draw of Top 4 teams? :D That's nowhere near a knockout punch either. You've whittled your argument down so far you're actually agreeing with me now.

Yeah ok, keep telling yourself that game didn't matter, because you know as well as I do that the Hawks would have been fresh for the GF after a training run against the Eagles in the PF at the MCG, while the winner of the Cats/Pies PF would have been banged up after having played on the tougher side of the finals draw.

Two top 4 teams away from home is as tough an assignment as any, and is part of Cam Mooney's rationale in having to admit that Hawthorn is the greatest side of the modern era. If any QF was going to deny us, it was the 2015 QF @ Subiaco.

Hawthorn had to travel to Subiaco twice because they weren't good enough to finish top 2 and secure a home final, so they only have themselves to blame for that :$

Not like beating Fremantle at Subiaco was much to crow about anyway, they were an ordinary side in 2015, and the fact they finished top of the ladder just shows how weak the competition was in 2015 thanks to GC and GWS raiding the drafts.

Oh and there best player in Nat Fyfe was playing in the PF with a broken leg :thumbsdown:

Sure it does, because it was our failure to beat Essendon that cost us the berth. If we beat Essendon, we're in. Therefore they are the team that knocked us out. For all their foibles, they at least stood up when it mattered.

Fancy choking away a 5 goal lead in the last quarter with your season on the line, while the opposition has nothing to play for, and with their two key defenders off the ground injured.

No, I addressed percentage, and pointed out that it is superseded by winning the big games. That's kind of what September/October is about. The big moments separate the coulda beens from the champs. Geelong could've been the best dynasty had they not failed their showdowns with Hawthorn or if Hawthorn hadn't been around. As it stands, they are a respectable third, after Hawthorn and Brisbane. Brisbane gained just as much from Geelong's capitulation to the Hawks, in that they were not overtaken either.

Our finals win percentage was 80% which is better than Hawthorn's 75% :$

By big games do you mean games such as the 2012 Grand Final?

Now that was a choke if I ever saw one, if only the Hawks held their nerve, as they'd have won 4 flags in a row, and have claims to having a better dynasty than Geelong.

Don't worry, your boys are still in with a shot this year to pass Geelong's dynasty, just don't choke :thumbsu:
 
Post reeks of Minnow over reach.

So much insecurity bundled up there.

If you had any pride in Geelong run, you'd be secure enough to admit that the Hawks had just pipped you.

Sadly, you don't seem to think that it stands up to comparison, so you slink away behind bluster.

A shame. I think that Geelong team proved themselves to be one of the best modern teams we've seen. Not the very best, but you did darn well.

You are a turncoat, therefore your opinions holds no weight :thumbsu:

You should just be happy that the Hawks didn't make the grand final in 2011. As we all know the Hawks win the games that matter most against the Geelong Danks.
No B2B = No Dynasty

Nobody knows. You claim to know a lot of things that are unknowable, just another sign of how desperate you are to believe, I guess.

And they still managed to get there. Kind of proves my point about how the QF doesn't matter as much as you thought it did.

Which game are you talking about? Is this to do with a Geelong game? There's a reason the circumstances of those matches have been forgotten, they are not as relevant as you want to think.

No-one cares. They certainly won't care in 20 years when your team continues to be rated below Brisbane and Hawthorn.

By big games I mean big games. 2008 GF, 2013 PF are the big games our clubs have squared off in in this era, and Hawthorn have taken the chocolates both times. If Geelong stood up, it might've been a different story regarding our respective dynasties. As it stands however, Hawthorn got everything it wanted out of Geelong, two wins leading to two premierships while simultaneously denying Geelong a couple. That's the kind of stuff that makes footy finals folklore, and has secured Hawthorn as the greatest dynasty of the modern era.

More of a collective Hawf melt throughout, although there are some absolute ripper standalone melts.
