Banter Geelong V Richmond - GO!

[Wosh]

In the interests of keeping your back and forth shite fights out of match threads so normal people can talk.

Keep it clean and above the shorts
Off topic rubbish clogging up match threads will be moved here, knock yourselves out.

Carlton will take care of them in the prelim.

Make no mistake.. the AFL are going to end up shooting themselves in the foot, trying to grow the game! Why would people from growth areas such as NSW, NZ and QLD want to follow the AFL when they know the sport revolves around Geelong?? The league is becoming too Geelong centric, and the issue needs to be fixed!

It's bad enough with the accusations of Victoria bias.. but the real issue is Geelong bias!

Not Geelong's fault Port are choking. Cats have recruited well and other sides just have to get better.

 

[powerrrrrrrrrrrr]

Just give them Ken. They’ll loose no worries then.

 

[HTPunter]

Nothing but credit to them for staying up

This thread could only have been started by a Richmond supporter

Just stop with the ridiculous conspiracy theories.

Still trying to figure out how they've fleeced $60m from the state government to upgrade Alphabet stadium, but Hawthorn have needed to start a Go Fund Me to finish off their new training base, despite also asking for assistance from the same government.

Porkbarrel stadium.

 

[Big Blood]

Well-run club, quality staff, good player development. That's the formula for continual refresh without a detour to the cellar.

You seriously can't figure it out?

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

I admire them for their ability to beat the system and stay up as a contender.

No jealously or envy from my end.

 

[Hoops]

Happy I bowed out with the 2023 premiership. Geelong's dominance have turned me off watching the 2024 AFL Finals Series.

For someone who's bowed out, you seem to post a lot.

Well I'm not Victorian, so not really.

Just stop with the ridiculous conspiracy theories.

It's not a conspiracy.. next you'll be telling me that politicians serving to protect the interests of big corporations first and foremost, is a conspiracy theory!

Political and corporate ranks are filled with Geelong supporters.. and it's in the government's best interests to protect the City of Geelong, so that Geelong doesn't end up like Detroit!

 

[Hoops]

Geelong is in a marginal electorate

Geelong is in a marginal electorate

???

 

[Foxx]

Geelong have a cultural advantage built on the back of their geographical location.

It's the only club with a small bubble country city with 99% Geelong supporters.

For as long as that's the case, they will never be down for long.

 

[Hoops]

???

Parties try to win seats (electorates) to form government. They do so by bribing seats they can win and that's usually marginal seats. It's the same reason WA have this unfair GST take and Victoria is shafted federally

Richmond losers

"Geelong's domination will stunt the AFL's growth long term"

 

[exxcessivve]

Barely any recent first round draftees in their team tonight and I’d say only Danger and Cameron are “star” players taken from other clubs. They’re just an extremely well-run football club.

 

[giggler99]

wtf is this thread? stop being jealous and get a life OP

 

[BigPond101]

Agreed. Geelong or Sydney have been in the prelims every year since 2005 its tiresome

 

[MisterMarcus]

OUT: Geelong will fall off the cliff and finish bottom 4!

OUT: Geelong will struggle to make the 8!

OUT: Geelong will struggle to make the top 4!

OUT: Geelong will straight sets it!

IN: It's so unfair and terrible that Geelong continue to be so dominant and successful!!
