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.

Is that meant to be a spoon? Because it actually isn’t. It’s a tool to scrape down the sides of the bowl when you’re making a cake. If you want to be a smarty and hang shit on Richmond for coming last at least use a correct picture.

You're right. I assume it's what was used to scrape out the last remnants of quality remaining on Richmond's list this trade period.

Just like the tugs are the club that scrape the bottom of the ladder.

Wooden scrapers

Oh now that’s much better. That at least IS a spoon.

You know what they look like. Tuggers are afterall spoon experts.

Thanks for confirming

No one is denying anything it’s an identity it isn’t a cake.

I don’t tell my kids that they are half this or half that. I tell them that they ARE THIS.

So that way when they participate in cultural events with other kids of indigenous heritage they don’t have to sit and hear bullshit like ‘you aren’t as aboriginal as this other kid so you only get to do half the cultural activities and learning. When they get taught about their heritage on my side I don’t tell them that they are half something so that they have to feel like they aren’t as ‘English’ as the kid raised on cricket and rugby union by two parents from Kent.

They are what they are and they aren’t slices of them from this place and other slices of them from this place. They are not part indigenous. They are indigenous. They are not part of anglo heritage, they are of Anglo heritage.

Your binary definitions of what their identity should be doesn’t stack up to what everyone else’s should be, especially mine as a parent, and theirs as adults when the time comes for them.

Appalling ignorance from that Richmond supporter.
The club itself has an impressive record; the Korrin Gamadgi institute, first AFL club to support the Treaty, first sporting club to gain RAP Elevate status etc.
Don't judge the club and the whole supporter base on this nuffy. Every club has them. He's part of a small, but noisy and entitled minority.

No don’t worry I’m not. I remember the conversation then and it pissed me off as it still does, and I know that the Tigers have always lead the way among the clubs as far as supporting Indigenous culture and having very close ties to First Nations players

Don’t most people know what a spoon looks like? Wouldn’t most people have several in their households?

Thanks for confirming you’re a drongo

If you were thinking of going to a party in the AFL era, you'd head to Richmond FC for dinner (5 spoons since '87, useful for soup....none at Geelong), while it's Geelong FC for drinks (more cups).

Everybody wins.

Going without Selwood and Kelly would've been the outcome on today's rules. The latter's pick the bid to secure Ablett.

Selwood and Kelly had 1 AA between them between 2007-2010. 2011 they were vital pieces, so perhaps that flag from the trilogy would be in question.

That isn't nearly as important as having prime Dusty, Rance et al as a reward for years of being a basket case. As soon as the music stopped it was right back to being a basket case. Lucky the net is there to catch the Tigers time and time again.

Nominal Top-10 picks who were pivotal in Geelong’s dynasty:

Corey (7)
Bartel (7)
Mackie (7)
Selwood (7)
Hawkins (1) … unanimous #1

Top-10 picks pivotal to Richmond’s dynasty:

Cotchin (2)
Martin (3)
Vlastuin (9)

Then Cats also had GAJ, Scarlett and Nathan Ablett as f/s handouts. Tigers had none.

Cotch, Martin and Rance (priority pick) were the (essential) charity picks for being truly awful. Not to mention the wasted picks before finally getting some gifts right.

Number of dynasty players Geelong were gifted for being truly awful = zero. Find the bottom 4 finishes, wooden spoons and priority picks that prove otherwise.

Followed up by a refusal to be a disgrace post-dynasty (compare this to Richmond) and instead pushing to another premiership the hard way. Strong culture.

Richmond this time are just doubling tanking up with a fire sale. Poor culture.

Not to mention the AFL came up with a way to gift Richmond one of the best players in the comp for free (Lynch) while taking the best player in the comp (Ablett) from us.

Tsk Tsk! No need for the name calling Soupy. Soupy Swift.

Yeah they haven't told you what soup you'll be slerping down yet, old boy. A shiny new spoon might be on the way next year. It's good to still have things to look forward to.

Like the tugs, shit.

 

[sleep]

Yes I agree with your final statement, could not agree more but since when is racism political.

Lets not derail the thread.

Tugs are shyte.... continue.

But still living rent free

Look, Geelong are probably the better H&A side due to their structural advantages with easy fixtures and salary cap workarounds. Happy to admit that.

But the Tigers rarely, if ever, bottled it in finals like Geelong do 9 times out of 10.

I think even the hardest Richmond critics would admit that

We're just waiting for Richmond to join us on four 21st century flags.

Also you've got to see the hilarity about a WobbleWood supporter talking about another club bottling finals.

 

[Zevon]

Thread has been cleaned up and the offending poster has been thread banned folks. Apologies that some of that stuff was up for as long as it was.

Good on those that were calling the racism out and encouraging the conversation/banter to get back to footy. Play on.

Raw nerve? Of the 29 players to be Premiership players across 2017-2020, 2 of them were drafted by Richmond inside the top-8.
