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.

Ablett got 2 flags and GAS got 0 you idiot. He wasn’t at Geelong for 11

Phatboy liking that comment that’s wrong proves you guys are just a cult and don’t know wtf you are on about most of the time.

No, a cult is whinging 17 years after the event that a team drafting someone under the same rules that your team drafted half a dozen of their own father son players under, was somehow unfair, and expecting other people to agree with you.

It’s labelling our key forward - who we had to use a draft pick on - as unfair when your greatest forward of the last half century, perhaps ever, was a father-son pick….. that didn’t even require a draft-selection.

3 is more than 3 you said.

GAJ and GAS had a combined 2. You campaigner.

You said he had more than the Abletts which I posted a picture of Gary and Nathan who have 3 flags between them. Did you finish school?

I was referring to the Gary’s. Nobody knows Nathan exists

 

[PhatBoy]

He’s a footballer that hasn’t played for Richmond in the last seven years so YOU don’t know he exists but normal people do

 

[Wojcinski]

I was referring to the Gary’s. Nobody knows Nathan exists

and yet he has more premierships than Matthew Richardson, Joel Bowden, Brett Deledio, Wayne Campbell and Matthew Knights combined

And Snr.

Geelong ruined Snr’s career. Should’ve stayed at Hawks.

Biggest tragedy in AFL history.

An even bigger tragedy is your obsession with a man who retired a decade before you were even born, what kind of life could you possibly lead with all the time you spend on Gary Ablett Sr?

I dont talk about him that often. You just remember it cause I’m savage.

Lollllll the only person who cared less about his career in football was his own son, and given events that happened in and around Ablett himself after he retired, I think your use of the word tragedy truly highlights how dim you actually are

It's about winning flags not racking up wins on a ground that's not symmetrical.

This one this opposition fans bring up that always gets me. Growing up and playing at various different grounds how many would have been the same dimensions? Did it affect how you played? And why has it now become a problem to players now they are grown adults?

It’s essentially a rectangle that some teams have played there twice in a decade.

It’s essentially a rectangle that some teams have played there twice in a decade.

But it’s not, is it, unless the definition of an oval has changed dramatically in the geometric community in recent times.

It must be very tough on teams’ 25-30 man planning departments trying to work out how to prepare for it.

‘We could just set up our training ground with different dimensions.’
‘No don’t be stupid.’

 

[Seeds]

And Ablett and Scarlett and many others.

Let’s see how you go now since those rigged f/s have gone.

Heard Oliver wants to join the Cats. I hope you get him. You won’t have any picks left.

Who cares about picks? Loser clubs. Thats who.

Far more appropriate for a game of yardage then an effing circle like the mcg.

No way that would never work

MCG is the gold standard for a ground. That’s why it’s called the home of football. If you didn’t go for Geelong you wouldn’t be saying this and you know it.

The sides are almost straight lines dude. It looks ridiculous and not AFL standard.

Only people who cant think critically would think that. Mcg games often have too much backward/sideways kicking, keepings off and flooding because the ground is too wide and too short.

Who effing cares. It only means less ball gets lost on the wings in pointless possessions.

See I knew it. Geelong people just don’t care about these advantages. Thanks for being honest.

I don't know why you guys bother with this guy There is an ignore button for a reason.

Correction, about 20m of one boundary is straight, ‘Dude.’

That’s an impressive effort at re-writing the definitions of what constitutes a shape, though.

 

[PhatBoy]

The ‘advantage’ that comes with a chip kick worth of straight white line along a patch of turf and the difficulty it presents to professionals paid between $300-1,100k a year to kick a ball.

Right.

Yes that has nothing to do with its capacity, does it.

It’s because of its shape
