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.

 

[Seeds]

Can someone tell me why alot of Geelong supporters around here say they have 17 premierships? All the facts point to only 10.

We actually have 4. Collingwood have 3.

 

[Blue1980]

Yeah well, you won the most games across 2017-2020 and responded to the rule change by making the finals once in the four seasons that followed and ‘achieving’ a wooden spoon.

We won the second most games across 2017-2020 and responded to it by winning a flag, and making two preliminary finals, so stiff shit.

It’s almost like the rule change did sweet FA to Richmond and it was more their best players declined and weren’t replaced with players of the same calibre.

Not sure why Richmond supporters want to claim it was all down to the stand rule, almost seems as if they are talking down why they were good.

Standing on your own two feet is so unfathomable to you that you find it ridiculous.
You're conditioned to rely on tax payer funded handouts to survive.
Don't you have any pride?

 

[Grin]

Why was it that every club except Richmond adapted to the rule change?

The rules weren't change to stop other clubs.
Also remember that Hoking introduced several other rule changes which Richmond adapted to before finally succumbing. There was the Grigg no prior opportunity ruck rule, the 6 6 6 rule to prevent Richmond playing behind the ball at bounces, and the kick out after behind rule changes to stop Richmond's forward press. Then finally the stand rule.
Hocking changed the entire look of the game to stop Richmond and advantage Geelong. Geelong obviously doesn't win the premiership in 2022 without the plethora of rule changes specifically introduce to advantage them.

Yet another example of Geelong's cultural dependence on handouts.
Bit pathetic really.

Yeah Richmond clowns took the 2022 result harder than the Swans simply because it gave us 4 AFL era flags and trumps their 3. And it burns a hole in them worse than a vindaloo on steroids, especially as they like to say how we are chokers who can’t handle pressure and only have shiit players and a piss poor coach.

It's so important to Geelong supporters to think that Richmond cared about the winning the premiership in 2022.
Just another example of your insecurioty and inferiority complex.

Do you think Geelong supporters will ever develop some self esteem and show a bit of pride? I don't

Again, just to reiterate, we were there, at or near the top, the entire way. Rule changes or not. Whatever rules there were, we adapted.

Christ you blokes like to whinge.

You didn't need to adapt. The rule changes were made specifically to advantage Geelong's game plan, then they got to train them before any other clubs were even informed.
But I complete understand why you want to deflect. I'd be embarrassed too. At least, unlike most Geelong supporters, you've got some pride.

 

[Grin]

Thanks, I loved it too. Still watch it occasionally and then read all the BS excuses about some mysterious “gastro” that apparently decimated the team the night before.

I reckon little Geelong should lobby for Collingwood's defeat of Richmond in the 2018 prelim to be counted as a premiership, along with the premierships 'won' in the 1800s in the VFA
God you lot are insecure.

Sorry, but we were at the top of the tree or near enough under a set of parameters, which were then consistently changed.

Of course we had to.

And exactly how much do you think a scratch match meant we ‘got to train them’

F**ken hell will you EVER stop making excuses? You’re a grown adult, deal with it

 

[Sttew]

Richmond supporters genuinely are. It's funny you think receiving the number one pick (probably 4 or five other first rounders too) to rebuild after a dynasty, is anything other than a blessing.

At what cost? Losing your best and most experienced players? That’s indisputable.

Geelong couldn't win a premiership until Hocking managed to remove Richmond from the finals. You lot are still obsessively angry with Richmond for being our finals bunnies. Get over it.

Says a bloke who’s trying to convince the world that it’s a rulebook that’s cost his club, and a squad of 40-odd professional football players and their inability to read it, their spot in the top half of the ladder.

No that’s a great argument and extremely well planned in the context of what you personally have been saying and demonstrating about insecurity.

Just repeating facts. Getting upset about them doesn't change anything.

Do you reckon your flags 'won' by media vote in a completely comp in the 1800s should be counted as AFL premierships?

 

[Wojcinski]

Haha we are happy as larry getting pick 1 and the other first rounders expecting to come our way.
Not one tiger supporter is concerned but we appreciate the scats concerns on the tiges landing the coveted spoon.

Its all you folks have but its kinda cute as a way to forget the pain of losing another prelim so keep em coming.
I get it well not really as we went 3 from 3 but choking once again must suck is it ever going to end, seems not as its now 6 chokes from 9 prelims but hey you do it just as good as the pies. The melts over your choke from your own fans is delicious 'special' as Bruce would say.

Nice 3 paragraph melt to a single sentence

 

[PhatBoy]

Geelong couldn't win a premiership until Hocking managed to remove Richmond from the finals. You lot are still obsessively angry with Richmond for being our finals bunnies. Get over it.

And you couldn’t compete with 75 per cent of your opponents, much less win one, under a whole bunch of parameters either old boy until suddenly a whole series of circumstances went right and then you did. And like you, we had to play under those same circumstances in 17, 19, 20, and we couldn’t hold a candle to you and you were too good.

That’s what happens year upon year. Unfortunately soft-**** excuse making has become the norm for any team that struggles and they look to wave it away and blame it on something instead of just saying the only two things that a normal fan should: either a) the opposition was better or b) we weren’t good enough.

No, I don’t. What the f**k is your point?

 

[Grin]

No, I don’t. What the f**k is your point?

What about Richmond's spoon this year. It's apparently a much bigger thing for Geelong supporters than winning any cup. Should Richmond's wooden spoon be counted as a Geelong premiership?

 

[Wojcinski]

Do you Richmond fans still think the Covid lightning cup played in QLD is a real premiership?

 

[FootyLad0]

Geelong had a failure of a season and so did Richmond. it's as simple as that. The only difference is that we're likely to improve our list quicker from where we finished than you are.

Rebuilds are not linear, success is not linear.
Rebuilding does not guarantee future success and to suggest so would be incredibly naive.

You could draft 3 flops and it keep you down the bottom for a decade+
You could draft the next Dusty and become a dynasty.

There is no guarantee.

Actually it isn’t.

I think what you’ll find is, we just played a really good game of footy on Saturday night here and a handful of the lowest common denominator Tigers fans flocked to this thread like flies to shit, to make out as though missing a grand final by a kick and a half, after two of those primary players in particular had tipped us to finish in the bottom end of the ladder, was a failure.

Reminding that their own side won the wooden spoon seems a fairly normal response, wouldn’t you say?

 

[Cleansweep17]

Looks like Bailey Sniff has got the shakes already.

 

[Cleansweep17]

Did you watch some of the games?

Yeah thought so, sit down sunny jim

 

[Cleansweep17]

They are expendable, they will not be around for the next flag. If they want to go, they can go. Why would we keep them hostage?

 

[Cleansweep17]

We actually have 4. Collingwood have 3.

Just when I thought it couldn’t get any worse.

 

[Sttew]

You’re dead right about the departing champions not being around for Richmond’s next premiership. We’ll all have departed this earth when that happens.
