Most of them are nothing to do with football, not to mention the crows.
But hey, keep pretending you know everything.

That's a bit odd on a football forum.

Open your mind, and your eyes and you might find theres more to BF than football discussions.
But hey with that one eye of yours it must be hard to see.

Showing everyone how to trade for a free agent.

Yep, working out well too. didn't see any players leave because of a cap squeeze ala Mumford at the Swans.

 

[LegendreturnsMJ]

Cats sure do draft well.

Buddy is on 1M per year and cost Sydney nothing
Danger is on 800K per year and cost Geelong 9, 28, Gore

Geelong have shown up teams like Collingwood, Essendon and Carlton how to conduct Trade week.

Initially, it looked like the Patrick Dangerfield deal would drag out until the last day. On each club's message boards, there was arguments about what was acceptable, and it looked like it was going to get bloody. Other teams supporters and the media said that Geelong were going to bend Adelaide over and that Adelaide should make Geelong bleed.

So, what happened? The two clubs wrapped up the Dangerfield deal, Day 1. Not only that, but both clubs were happy with what they got, and didn't hold out for more.

Geelong then wrapped up a couple of other deals within the first few days, and ended up with every player they targeted, all the while other teams we dealt with acknowledged how accomodating Geelong were.

Compare that to Collingwood, who sent Adam Treloar for a mystery operation, and accused GWS of leaking a video of Treloar signing for Collingwood.

Essendon showed why they are the hardest team to deal with when they tried to bend over St. Kilda for pick 5. When Saints didn't say "How high" when Essendon told them to jump, the Bombers called Hawthorn to get them to make a deal, and force St. Kilda's hand. Then, once Carlisle was signed to the Saints, and Essendon got pick 5, the Bombers then leaked the video of Carlisle sniffing coke, to clip him on the way out.

While these teams pull these tactics, insult the other club they are dealing with, ask for overs, and then bag the player who changes teams, Geelong are transparent, look after the other club as well, ask for what is reasonable, and don't pot the player on the way out.

So, in future, other clubs should hope that if a player nominates a team to get traded to, that the player wants to go to Geelong, and not Essendon or Collingwood, so that the other club can just get the deal done, and get what is fair in return, and avoid a lot of headaches, and allowing the other team to get time to get other deals done.

Plus, Geelong have picked players who are of good character and have actual uses for next season and beyond, and when we have low draft picks, we often pick quality players. Many players we have picked at 30 or over have won numerous premierships.

Just like it says in our song, when it comes to trade week, Geelong is the "Greatest Team Of All".

That's the second cats supporter in an many days starting a thread on how good they are on the main afl board. Cringe worthy

Have they won the cup already? Seems so from SOME of their supporters

I guess this is a gloat bump?

 

[God Mode]

Gosh, I'm getting sick of fellow supporters bumping threads/making threads pumping up our team. We've achieved nothing yet, STFU for Christ sake.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Overpaid for a RFA.

Picked up a WAFL player, then picked up a VFL player and topped it off with a NEAFL player.

I could see Geelong shooting up to 9th next season, well done.

Wrong. Remains to be seen. Wrong. Wrong and lastly wrong.

 

[Bollox]

Excellent.
One of those cringeworthy flagellation thread bumps....the most obvious sign of insecurity we get to see.

Looks like Geelong fans are trying to drink their own bathwater, but gagging on it already.

Look at you froth at the mouth.

Lighten up Bollox, you've been around long enough to know it's harmless fun.

Fitzpatrick to Hawks for a 5th rounder has to be the best ever

 

[Smithdogmaddog]

It's a very unique set of circumstances where the best player in the comp is from your home town and willing to take unders to return.

The recruiting of smith was a masterstroke and good on them for capitalising on gold coasts stupidity.
