The Geelong & Richmond Bigfooty rivalry is so weird.
The strangest thing about it is this:
The Tigers owned us across four years when they were at their peak. No question. But it hasn’t been enough for them to have any level of acceptance of what is happening at the moment.
I read a post from one of them the other day claiming that ‘what they did to us’ we still haven’t recovered from???
What, aside from the 2022 flag and the potential third top four finish in four years since then?
They smacked us right up the bum fair and square when they were at their peak. No question and they can dine out on it forever. But it doesn’t somehow change that for four decades before it they were nowhere to be seen while we were at or near the top for half of it and pretty content with our own lot in life. I don’t think any Cats fans are losing any sleep over WHO we lose to.
No footy fan likes losing, and we all enjoy winning, and when it’s a rival it makes it a bit sweeter for about five minutes afterwards but beyond that, who cares.
My brother is mad Richmond and he also hates the cats.
I think it comes down to their dynasty vs yours.
Still weird though.
Top 4 certainties. Most likely top 2. If they play bulldogs or Blues week 1 they might be in trouble.
It's going to get worse. No parity in footy at all
What will get us in finals is the same as what has gotten us each home and away game we have lost.Top 4 certainties. Most likely top 2. If they play bulldogs or Blues week 1 they might be in trouble.

3rd on percentage. 1.5% behind port*Finals certainties. Most likely 3rd-4th.
The surprise win yesterday means if all results go as expected we will play Port, GWS or Sydney away in a QF. In that situation our opponents would rightly be big favourites and then we'd likely play a team like Bulldogs or Carlton in a semi final, who would also be favourites.
I'm not even getting carried away about a win against St Kilda being a given.3rd on percentage. 1.5% behind port
Port have a showdown and freo away
Cats have west coast at GMHBA and St Kilda at Marvel.
Should end U about 3-5% clear of port even if both sides win the last 2 games
lolThis is Geelongs flag to lose
Can win well away
Don't need to rely on GMHBA (not the safety net it once was anyway)
Finishing 2024 without the premiership cup. Would be like the Australia Rugby 7's women side going from gold medal certainties.... to going home empty handed!!!
it's been a decent rebuild year so far, best young player and future rising star Dempsey discovered followed by probably the next best young gun in Humphries. Wells and now Mackie light years ahead of every other clubs list managersThis is only 10% of our true power!
by who? Sydney? lmaoWill get ironed out in the finals.
We were promised these rebuilds were supposed to be painful. I guess part of being as powerful as we are means a rebuild year sees us in contention for a top 4 finish.it's been a decent rebuild year so far, best young player and future rising star Dempsey discovered followed by probably the next best young gun in Humphries. Wells and now Mackie light years ahead of every other clubs list managers
All of Sydney, Port Power, Brisbane and the Bulldogs are comfortably better than Geelong mate.by who? Sydney? lmao
