Geelong rorting the system

[Mr Meow]

Yeah I get a bit carried away, I genuinely do have animosity towards Geelong - I not trying to hide it (obviously) I cannot stand Chris Scott and having lived there for many years fair to say that contributed to my animosity, no one can argue they are a well run, successful club but doesn’t mean I can’t hate them, part of footy.

Yeah fair enough, I respect you being upfront about that. It's fine to hate every club or no clubs. Of course it does colour some opinions away from the realms of objectivity, that's all.

Maybe if Bailey Smith went to a club you liked he wouldn't be such a spud.

 

[jonnobackpocket]

Nope.

Its fairly unclear how it automatically supports an argument that discredits another club or players performance, strategy etc. Would Bailey Smith fit into Brisbane's line up any more if Daniher misses a shot in the SF and Brisbane are knocked out? Of course not. So why would the reverse be true?

I agree that a cup distorts the opinion of team and its players. People getting up Sydney I find mind blowing, one team gets to win it all, does not mean other teams have not had brilliant year.

There was arguments being put forward he would be in our top 5 and we somehow have 5 players on a million a year- so if my views are a little biased I don’t even know what to call those ‘opinions’.

You’re gonna pretend they aren’t getting paid that much.
How de-lulu are you?

Neale is easily over a million a year, Dunkley wasn’t leaving the Dogs for less money and he was on close to a million, Charlie Cameron was already getting 900k when he re-signed. McLuggage got offers in the 1.3 million range from multiple clubs, he turned them all down for less than a million? Bullshit!
Rayner just re-signed long term after getting multiple clubs chasing after him, Harris Andrews signed a huge long term deal same timing.
Hipwood signed a huge deal that while not in the million range is definitely in the high end of the dollar scale.
Daniher deal was already under league investigation as Lions had to pay him enough to get Dons band 1 compensation, and band 1 is just magically now nothing?

Want me to keep going? I haven’t even brought up Berry who is in the 800k range and Zorko who was on huge dollars but took a big paycut recently. If Starcevich and Lohmann manage to stay as well I call shenanigans.

Lions have lost no major money players in the last 4 years until Joe.
And they just magically have all this extra money to throw around.

Go ahead and tell me they are all taking way under value to play for Brisbane of all places lol
This team is filled with superstar players, you can’t just underpay a bunch of superstars without losing anyone.

I’m literally complimenting your squad and how deep it is.
But if you have all of this talent that aren’t Brisbane born locals (outside Andrews and Hipwood) and no money is being freed up then how are they all getting paid?

Even the Three peat Lions back in the day lost players to bigger money, as Cats supporters we’ve seen multiple superstars walk out the door for more money.

You’re telling me with a squad this deep that ONLY ONE OF THOSE PLAYERS is on over a million a year (which we already know is rubbish as we can bring up all the reported deals) and no one has left for more money?

So which is it? Are they all severely underpaid and that’s how they can keep everyone together without losing anyone or are they all turning back huge offers because they’ve been compensated fairly?

Are you thick?- there are a heap of articles about Million dollar players, go and have a look. Not one of them mentions a Brisbane player, not even Neale. So you can gob off all you want, you must know more than every journalist and every article written. You must really be in the know- I can see Dusty, Cameron, Mc Kay, 2 Giants players, Cripps etc. Yeah Cameron is on a millions is he? I can find 2 articles about McCluggage signing for just under a million a year, Rayner getting a million is he- not a chance, you talk about Berry and then say 800,000 thousand is that a million is it? You gonbed off and now back tracking and you are still wrong. Moronic.

I named more than 5 guys on huge money.
No backtracking here?

 

[FootyLad0]

Look what thread you’re on.
Everyone is fair game, especially if that person threw shots first and then got pissy that someone pointed out the same talking points he was using.

Only doing what he did, except my team didn’t just win the Premiership and then I didn’t spend three pages worth of arguing with opposition fans on an opposition team’s thread that they just beat in a Prelim lol

You guys should be the last team to complain about anything
Fairytale Premiership and best kid in the Draft.

I feel like my girlfriend just dumped me for someone less successful and good looking. I don't even know how I feel about it

Gossip will sort out the problem.. so will jewellery...

Yes but lions fans openly admit we rort. We have a thread on it. Geelong fans need to show some courage.

You said 5 on a million, that was flat out wrong, now it’s changed to ’huge money’ - you were talking utter shit, got caught out, won’t even own it. If you going to use facts to try and prove a point you might want to make sure they are correct.

Maybe I should have just made some stuff up and made out they were facts, it’s not a pub in the 80’s- there is this google thing where you can check stuff. This an opposition teams thread is it- thought it was on the main board, you really battle don’t you. Go with the name Footylad to make out you have a clue?

Go off for another 30 pages plonker.
We’ve heard enough from you

Are you special? I already said which players were on deals over a million and you refuted none of it you just called me names.
Jesus it’s like having a conversation with a toddler

Just arguing for the sake of it

We literally have a house and land packages meme that we ourselves play up all the time

Old mate over here thinks the superstar filled Lions are all needing social housing the way he’s making it sound

All above board of course

Yeah, he scammed us an extra home game this year didn't he?

House and land package in Vancouver was worth the investment

How does one of the most marketable young athletes in Australian sport with a huge social media presence who is sponsored by a global brand as a signature model afford a $4 million dollar Home?

It literally answers itself! It’s sHocking and the CFL’s fault clearly

What sponsorship does he have and is it included in the salary cap?

I’d assume you’d have to go ask Cotton On what contract he signed and yes, all deals with third parties are checked and scrutinised constantly.

I don't think so. If we expose all our rorts willy-nilly this thread will run out of oxygen too quickly. Better to let the oppo fans discover this stuff in their own time, and then we rorters act shocked when it comes to light.
