I feel like there were solid reasons they were a $1.50ish favourite to our $2.60ishPort Adelaide weren't a tough team. They turned to water (again).
The only thing that is Geelong-centric are BigFooty Tigers supporters and that Saveloy idiot. You were more dominant than us, we've won one flag in 13 seasons. Make no mistake? You just did.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!
This is how I feel about the Hawks. You guys are back again. Can't we have one decade without a Hawk flag? I had such high hopes for this decade as well. You'd think you'd be a big chance for another one in the next five years I think, maybe sooner. :OThey may be our rivals but it's hard not to respect Geelong.
Their demise has been predicted every year since 2010 and they just keep coming. They've gone from their own dynasty, to Hawthorn's biggest rival during our own dynasty, then Richmond's biggest rival during thiers and as both those teams dropped away, Geelong has just kept fronting up.
They should be called the Geelong cockroaches or something. They just don't go away and every time you think you've got them beaten, they're back again.

Forget what the actual odds ended up at before the bounce
Best thing that can happen now for Geelong haters is for Hawkins to come back. Their structure was awful with him playing and not contributing and he dragged down Cameron. As soon as Hawkins got injured Geelongs revival started. But now he's back and ready to play will Chris Scott have the grapefruits to do whats best for the team and leave him out
Yeah, but we were not expected to win that. I feel like it's a bit of Monday morning quarterbacking to say we were always going to win.No because the odds meant nothing in the scheme of things. They crumbled. They turned to water. They aren't a tough team.

You know why the China experiment failed? We didn't give them any Geelong - let that be a lesson learned. Geelong at 35% maximum power would dominate the Chinese market.
How many home games did we win again this year? Hardly the advantage you’re making it out to be and take away the home wins most years and we still make the finalsGeelong have the most significant advantage in the the comp.
Get to play 7 or 8 games at their boutique ground against non-Vic and lower drawing local clubs. Get to play their 'bigger' home games at the MCG in front of large crowds - great training ground for finals.
They literally have the perfect mix. The kind of fixturing other clubs could only dream of.
Have been gifted money hand-over-fist, while community sports clubs struggle and die after begging for funding to improve infrastructure. I play at a club in a major regional town who still gave clubrooms with SHARED SHOWERS (which are falling apart and dangerous). Lovely getting nude with the opposition after a hard fought and tense clash.
No doubt Geelong have done plenty right, but they have been set up to a point where it is near impossible to fail.
Well they would have made a lot of money on their sports betting account thenWell those with any commonsense know that Port turn to water.
That you have NFI how “easy” it is to sustain a successful period
Whatever it takes right?
So why aren’t Power/Adel a powerhouse ? Or eagles and Freo?Yeah I do. Operate a club in a small city bubble where almost the entire population are your clubs supporters.
So you anticipate Tasmania will be the most dominant team of the afl on an ongoing basis from 2030?Yeah I do. Operate a club in a small city bubble where almost the entire population are your clubs supporters.

Like I said NFI
lol ok champ if you say soDuh. Because they are massive areas with broad supporter bases.
So you anticipate Tasmania will be the most dominant team of the afl on an ongoing basis from 2030?
20 years of not winning a final must make you look for any stupid reasons to why a club is successfulDepends if almost all their population support the club like Geelongs do.

Did you just point to cities with almost 5 times and 8 times the population of Geelong and claim they are also small cities?So why aren’t Power/Adel a powerhouse ? Or eagles and Freo?
Like I said NFI
Yes our 9 home games per year is such an unfair advantage …do you realise how stupid that sounds ?You should be happy and embrace your advantage.
How the **** can a population influence a club win/loss recordDid you just point to cities with almost 5 times the population of Geelong and claim they are also small cities?
Please just answer my question.How the **** can a population influence a club win/loss record
Really?
Well Tassie should be the next powerhouse going by that absurd logicPlease just answer my question.
