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.

 

[AstuteTiger]

Jesus even their funding is “just making up the numbers” dark times indeed for Geelong.

Poor bastards finished top 4 and we still outdrew them

I can understand the AFL handing the scats more, ****en minnows. They only have 6 mill in the bank maybe we can help them out throw a few bucks there way considering we have 44 mill in the bank.

[Footy Smarts]

Bro how could you touch a nerve when i wrecked you like no tomorrow. Take the L you just got roasted.

1 mill through the gate and 4th for attendances. Ave almost 44K. Its a 23 game season not one you

You sound angry. Are you ok?

Maybe get outside and find some fresh air. Get away from the stress and overcrowding of modern life. Richmond home games late in the year are a good place to do just that. Just don't watch the score too closely.

 

[All Aust]

I'm not watching your shit videos.

Off you toddle then poppet.

Others can choose one, watch both or go back to having supporter Pussy v Supporter Draft1mond bants

No I'm fine thanks for asking maybe you need to take your own advice tomorrows a new day and hope its better for you. I get it having your posts corrected for accuracy can be upsetting, perhaps nerve racking but its all good no harm intended. You have a good day now!

Do the Tigers have the weakest b2b ever? 25 combined wins for their opponents. Geelong beat 20 win opponents twice lmao.

When did the cats go back2back asking for a friend

 

[Aaron Reed]

Good to see we've found where the tiger army has gone. Bigger crowd in here than the recent Richmond home games.

 

[Aaron Reed]

Did Richmond really lose 21 games this year?

 

[PhatBoy]

Who's Geelongs highest vote accumulater tonight cats fans?

We will be lucky to have anyone get above 12-13.

Probably Cameron just on the back of 21/6, 17/5, 19/4, 27/6, 14/9.

You’d think at least 4 of them will probably net him 3 votes and he might scrape up a few others here and there. It will be shared around a bit between Holmes, Miers, Stewart, Stengle.

 

[Sttew]

What was wrong with the meaning I put up?

Emasculate -
deprive (a football club) of their identity.
make (a football club) weaker or less effective.

Our identity was our pressure based system.

You don't remember Robbo asking Whateley: "But what is their system, it's just pressure isn't it, they can all do that?"

And then Whateley replied: "if they could, they would."

Geelong couldn't, and the rest is history, Hocking went to work, special needs were met, and with that, Richmond was made less effective.

If not emasculation, what would you call what happened to us?

In 2017 the AFL introiduced the new ruck rules outlawing a second man up. The image used by the AFL in its media release was Mark Blicavs who had made an art form of being second man up. Fox Sport reported, "The tactic has become more prevalent with Geelong’s Mark Blicavs by far the biggest user of it. Blicavs recorded 154 hit-outs in 2016 as the third man up."

Instead of wallowing and crying poor, Geelong and Blicavs adapted. Blicavs reinvented himself as a tall utility who could play midfield, back or forward.

Why couldn't Richmond adapt? No Richmond supporter on this board has answered that question yet.

'Third man up' rule means no more ruck surprises

Teams must nominate their rucks at each contest in 2017 under new rule

And if Danger gets at least 2 BOG's (In Coaches award he had 3 BOG's in 2024) he then becomes the player with the greatest number of BOG's in AFL/VFL history, overtaking GAJ

Hahaha do you really want to go own the path of crowds. I mean really? Not withstanding that first half of 2022 crowds were still impacted by covid FACT. Thurs night rain, school and work the next day!
Even pies got 25K V eagles on a Sat in 2022.

I had a look on AFL tables for cats lowest crowds to many to even post here lmao.

Anyways 2022 the tiges still 3rd for attendances and the cats did ok by their standards 8th

That's what I was thinking. The reason I ask is do you think your top poll voter will get more than the whole Richmond side combined

I dont mean when dinosaurs were still running around my reply to Wojcinski from his reference that Geelong beat 20 win opponents twice lmao.

Are you're suggesting he is referencing 1951

 

[AstuteTiger]

Yes and did Geelong once again CHOKE in a prelim say it with me

 

[PhatBoy]

Yes and did Geelong once again CHOKE in a prelim say it with me

You’re the one who thinks we didn’t deserve to be there aren’t you?

If we didn’t deserve to be there, is it a choke?

 

[PhatBoy]

That's what I was thinking. The reason I ask is do you think your top poll voter will get more than the whole Richmond side combined

Now that WOULD be an achievement. Barely crack double figures and still outpoll an entire team

 

[Elton Johns Wig]

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

Someone should pass this message on to Chris Scott

Do the Tigers have the weakest b2b ever?

I believe it's the strongest in the AFL era because it was system based. You'll notice how the AFL never gave a sh*t about the treble winning teams, but when Richmond went b2b, the AFL were at their wits' end.

And if we judge your first 3 flags in the AFL era by todays rules, which I will do, it doesn't stand up to our 3, because the AFL allowed Geelong to collect their father sons before changing what was deemed to be an unfair father son rule, so even then you received special treatment

Please you pick a period when the capacity at Geelong was less than 20,000 with the new stand under construction.

I could puck the crowds from 1964 as representative... that was when Richmond was still playing at the Punt Rd oval

There was zero good opposition in that era. You played adelaid, gws and 2020 ulta defensive geelong in grand finals. Yeek

2009-11 was clearly the strongest era. Three absolutely dominant teams that would of all smashed the tigers flag teams had to share the spoils. Even the hawks struggled against those teams and had to wait their turn.
