No Oppo Supporters General AFL and other clubs discussion thread. **Opposition fans not welcome** Part 7

[Nugett]

Good riddance. But also * are a complete basket case

I wonder if Sheeds will endorse Hird for club president?

 

[QuietB]

True - which means he can't do spin either. Have to wonder what he is bringing to the table as president.

Perpetual mayhem

I thought they took a huge step forward avoiding Hird. Less than a week later we get this

 

[Billyc]

Kennett for Barham - who says no?

 

[HairyO]

Suns bring in Berry and Long. 2 average players probably on average money. 2 players in.

Cats smooth out Bowes salary over 4 years and get pick 7. 1 player out.

Why the hell couldnt the Suns have skipped on Berry and Long, recruited a brilliant kid with pick 7 and given Bowes another smoothed out salary, possibly paying the front loading this year given we have been told the issue was more next year when they need money for Rowell and Anderson.

It truly is baffling. Can anyone find anything rational in what they are doing?

Need to be investigated for their incompetents.

They way they run their club is a blight on the other 17 clubs. Let alone giving the premiership team a leg up.

 

[Kil Phearns]

Geelong fans need constant validation. Somehow the media constantly kissing the ground their club walks on isn't enough.

 

[Books]

The arrogance of Geelong fans is getting worse than ever.

They already had umpires who look after them, an MRO who protects them and the advantage of playing on an oval that is not even oval.

Now they have another massive freebie in Bowes, and even the fans think their own poop smells like roses.

Now, because they got away with one gigantic AFL-endorsed rort, they expect everyone else to donate players for free.

 

[Off The Couch]

Adelaide would be laughing if eagles let Rioli walk

 

[Ned Ryerson]

Good to see Ablett Snr get the help he needs on Hoarders tonight.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

 

[Bugs1977]

So good

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Sick of GWS hoarding talent never really doing much, then losing them for assets, hoarding more talent rinse and repeat. Nothing club.

 

[Stratton24]

Imagine the turn over for a Tassie team.

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Imagine the turn over for a Tassie team.

If they snag a flag in the first 6-7 years it'll secure the players

 

[Stratton24]

If they snag a flag in the first 6-7 years it'll secure the players

No chance of that.

 

[Mitchell Madness]

No chance of that.

You don't think the AFL will try an manipulate it?

 

[Stratton24]

You don't think the AFL will try an manipulate it?

If they couldn’t get GC and GWS a flag than they can’t get Tassie one.

 

[TassieGrown]

If they couldn’t get GC and GWS a flag than they can’t get Tassie one.

Tassie flag will come before GC & GWS, fabricated franchises over a state with a proud and strong history.

I back in the side with the history to get it done with help from the AFL

trade thread is Geelong supporters drinking the kool-aid circle jerk versus everyone else that see it for what it is.

What is truly baffling to me is they didn't offer Atkins with pick 7 as the salary dump

 

[H00t]

Split 7. Offer Atkins + first and Bowes + first. They’d clear a ton more cap while giving up the same amount of assets.

A number of teams will pay with cap space to grab a pick.

The Jack Bowes trade thread is Geelong supporters drinking the kool-aid circle jerk versus everyone else that see it for what it is.

There was a circle jerk going on in here last week over Bowes, imagine how big that circle would’ve been had we ‘won the race’

 

[Ned Ryerson]

Imagine the turn over for a Tassie team.

Hobart is a far better place to live than Western Sydney.

 

[CHUBBSS]

Hobart is a far better place to live than Western Sydney.

Is can see the tassie team being a super power far sooner then other clubs because of the location and lifestyle, it will be interesting for everyone else

If Geelong can lure people based on lifestyle then a Hobart won’t have a problem. Great place.
