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.

Striking while the iron is cold was 2017-20. Some of the worst finals teams and grand finalists i have seen. Thaf GWS side in 19 was a laugh and Adelaide in 17 were average, and geelong had more holes in 20 than swiss cheese

Hang on, on other threads Cats fans were telling us teams should be judged by how many AA players they have. That GWS team had at least 8 AA players. And the Adelaide 2017 side that was "average" had top spot on the ladder secured before the end of the seaosn and 2 x 6 goal+ wins in their finals in 2017...before they met Richmond in the GF. And the Cats were probably the second best team in the AFL across 2019-20.

Now let's look at who Geelong beat. Port, Saints, Swans and Pies, 4 teams with just about the weakest finals layed to GF victory conversions in the AFL. When do you think you might beat a club in a Grand Final who knows something about converting finals appearances into flags? It is not like you haven't had your chances.

V Tigers 67 LOST
V Hawks 89 LOST
V Eagles 92 LOST
V Eagles 94 LOST
V Blues 95 LOST
V Hawks 08 LOST
V Tigers 20 LOST

7 chances to beat a team with a decent record at converting finals appearances into flags. 0 victories. You only seem to be able to beat the all abilities finals teams in Grand Finals. So you are not at the bottom table with them. But you are not at the top table with us, because you choke every time you get your chance.

Didn’t you guys drop 3 in a row to collingwood and then rolled over in the following prelim to hand them a 4-peat? How many AAs did those collypies teams have?

 

[Meteoric Rise]

And to think, they even organized a reunion party to celebrate that 1995 prelim final belting.

The one time in 120 odd years you have managed to outscore us in a finals series.

Whereas we just happen to have outscored you in 10 finals series. Or as you would say in Geeloquent, finals serieses.

Omg you are as thick as bricks. Its the same comp period. Its like a company which started 30 years ago maybe not as professional but as time goes by they restructure their business go national and as more money comes in they grow as a company, better technology, more equipment to satisfy their expanding client base but still are the same company.
ARE YOU GETTING THIS

You are very confused about this. Look up the changes in the drafting and going from an amateur to professional competition. Why do you think richmond has struggled so badly since drafting and a full time national competition wa introduced??

You guys are AFL failures in the professional afl era comp. You could only get by doing well when it was an amateur vfl comp with zoning and players training twice a week at night

Dynasties are success over a long time.

Success is winning the flag

Richmond can't sustain success and was only good for a few seasons.

During your dynasty?

it's a period of dominance over the other good teams of the period.

But we were dominating the best Geelong team ever assembled under fair conditions! Are you saying the only good Geelong side is the one assembled under what was later deemed to be unfair conditions?

So far in the AFL era there have been 3 dynasties. Brisbane 01-03, Geelong 07-11 and Hawthorn 13-15

Geelong 07-11

Brisbane's first flag was the IV flag, the use of being banned the next season because it was deemed to be an unfair advantage over a team not going that route.

Hawthorn we know were lucky to be near the top during the compromised drafts where other teams couldn't get better. Imagine Footscray had the opportunity to draft Tom Boyd?

And then there is Richmond, we won our flags because of our system, which after 2020 was deemed to be unfair to Geelong

 

[Cleansweep17]

This is well documented? In your infantile mind maybe.

2007 QF GAJ named in Geelong’s best. Named BOG in PF
2008 QF in Geelong’s best. GF 2nd in Norm Smith (11 votes)
2009 QF in best; PF named best; GF named in best

I won’t go on because point is proven. You lie and post shit

GAS + GAJ GF record: 2/8 GF wins 1/8 Norm Smiths

If that in itself doesn’t reek of being ordinary than I can’t help you. You’d troll Dusty for that sort of record and you know it.

They aren’t the unlucky players that didn’t get to play in a grand final or only 1/2. The EACH PLAYED IN 4 and had that record. Like for real.

 

[Meteoric Rise]

Dynasties are success over a long time. Richmond canf sustain success and was only good for a few seasons. Outside of that you have resembled more of a great depression overall

Like our 15 Grand Finals in 26 years?

Or our 5 flags in 14 years?

Geelong won 3 flags in 5 years. Outside of that, 1 flag in 56 of the last 61 years. 1

According to Cats fans that formed part of our 15 Grand Final in 26 years dynasty. Something Geelol will never match in this lifetime or the next.

I think we beat them in 1929 prelim/semi but due to the minor premiers challenge rule they got a free gift to the granny and then beat us.

If you think that’s a legit thing to bag us about, you do you but I personally think it means f all. Stupid rule system.

Lol, how does it feel to be smashed in 3 finals in 4 years by "AFL failures" right in the middle of your never ending "dynasty."

But you organized a reunion party for it? Talk about rent free.

They got wrecked by like 5 different flag teams during their dynasty. Who tf boasts about that

 

[Aaron Reed]

I doubt anyone will match losing 4 GFs to the pies in a row. That’s definitely a record.

 

[Meteoric Rise]

Wtf are you even talking about?

 

[Cleansweep17]

I doubt anyone will match losing 4 GFs to the pies in a row. That’s definitely a record.

But I thought just making GF’s is a success? Are you not in Geelong mode right now or something? Forget to charge your battery?

But the records state you handed the pies 4 flags making that team the GOAT team. It’s kinda funny. They’re also the only club to ever lose a GF to St Kilda. What do you think is worse, giving Collingwood 4 or giving St Kilda 1?

Comprehension escapes you.

The Richmond 1995 losing prelim reunion party.

But you gave Collingwood 4 in a row. A club who is historically terrible at grand finals.

The 4 peat team was 27,28,29,30

Do you know who the Pies beat in the 1930 GF to get the 4 peat?

Bloody GEELONG YOU GOOSE!!

That must make Matthew Richardson the biggest failure ever

Read my previous comment you drongo hahah

 

[Cleansweep17]

Not our best player so I don’t care. Unlike you.

Next.

 

[Meteoric Rise]

I doubt anyone will match losing 4 GFs to the pies in a row. That’s definitely a record.

But I thought losing finals was better than missing finals? Or it doesn't work that way when Geelol are the team missing finals?

Geelol 1927-30...

1927 LOST 7.6 v 16.18 to Collingwood in the semi-final
1928 9th of 12 on the ladder 6-12 record
1929 7th of 12 on the ladder 8-10 record
1930 LOST the Grand Final to Collingwood 9.16 v 14.16

Yep, you were the useless campaigners that gave them 4 in a row. The only team in history to lose to a team winning their 4th consecutive GF.

And of course for the 4 years Richmond won h2h 5-2 v Geelol.
