Geelong rorting the system

[Bunnings]

So just heard Geelong get an extra home game now at methhead stadium.

This is why I say it’s an immoral club. No shame and not even trying to hide it.

Extra home game? With the least home games in the league, that is BigFooty logic at its best

Geelong will be an appealing destination as long as regional living remains affordable.

Sydney recieved cost of living allowance (COLA) for years to help compensate for high Sydney property prices.

I think it's time the AFL implement do the exact opposite for Geelong and slash their salary cap.

If you want to play more games at Kardinia perhaps stop requesting to play the big clubs (i.e. Carlton) at the MCG.

Geelong are the big clubs mate, where have you been?

Come back to me when you hit 100k members without counting the 30k pet memberships, and have an average attendance above 50k.

Carlton’s 3 biggest home and away attendances this year against Bombers, Pies and Cats, that’s strange isn’t it.

One of those is not like the others...

Different clubs have things in their favour that attracts player.

Geelong have a relaxed lifestyle and sustained success.
Collingwood have a massive supporter base and big games.
QLD teams have the weather and the "off broadway" element.
SA clubs have an airport.

1 extra pure home ground advantage game. Pretty much everybody else has neutral home games.

It’s actually scary how you think you guys are the victims when you are in fact the most privileged.

So like I said, give an inch you take a mile. Thanks for proving it.

Cute that the Round 7 Carlton game was Geelong's biggest home and away crowd for the year by at least 10k.

Even more cute that your 2nd biggest home and away crowd for the year was also against Carlton in Round 15.

If you take those two games out of Geelong's average crowd attendance then you are in Bulldogs/Saints territory.

If the blues were a big club, they'd be rorting the system as well.

Blues minnows confirmed.

Cameron Ling owns three quarters of the Geelong foreshore doesn't he?

 

[HairyO]

funny no one ever talks about jordan degoey, brodie grundy, jake stringer, todd goldstein, james frawley, etc turning us down, but yeah geelong get the a graders.

I like that you saw Frawley as A grade when so many didnt.

Also, who gets Harley Reid ? Will Mackie offer a single 1st and threaten the draft ?

 

[JackFlash]

There was a time when the only players Geelong could attract from other clubs were washed up has beens at the end of their career. Nowadays players don't have the active social life they once had in Melbourne, if they go out today someone will have them on a phone video or pic in seconds. No more Tunnel, no more Saloon Bar, no more falling out of King Street strip clubs at 2am in the morning! Geelong offers a lot of anonymity and they take them up on it.

We don’t. We request that IF we have to play at the MCG, we play against particular teams.

Who gives a shit.

It’s cute that your powerhouse club hasn’t done jack shit since Raygun was in Year 1

Port should start giving away McDonald’s again, maybe we would’ve got Perryman.

I still don't understand how they got pick 7 last year. That one seems so suss.

At the same time, sheet,. they've done well from players nobody else is interested in.

Stewart, Stengle and Humphries come to mind.

Tax paid club.
I call them the labor party.
Done nothing for the code and still get tax money.
Time to turf them out.
Cats are crooks.

Port bought Wanganeen (allegedly) a Maccas store when he came back to Port.

Picking up Stengle is not amazing work that it's made out to be, it's just a more relaxed position on players drug taking and drink driving than other clubs.
