Geelong haven't been a threat since 2011. Good side, make finals consistently but aren't the real deal. Rely too much on a few and have bugger all depth. Question marks on the coach also.
How much whinging will a Geelong premiership bring?

Can't see why Hawthorn won't be back contending in 2-3 years.

Who TF knows. We might be there abouts but there could be two or three crazy good teams - including yours!

Meh.... Melbourne. Supporters like me take a lot of convincing. You could probably sway me if we were 35 up going into the last 5 minutes of a GF.

Don't reckon they rely on too few at all.
It's a fairly remarkable statistic that their past 25 finals have been played Victoria. From those 25, 4 were Grand Finals, only 3 were 'away' finals as the lower ranked team and the remaining 18 were home finals, so there's no argument whether they have earned it - it's just a fortunate quirk that every time they've played 'away' its been to a Melbourne based side. This week is the first interstate final they've had since the Nick Davis game.

They didn't kick straight that day. That cost them. St Kilda did the same the year after and lost.

What exactly is this thread about? How you may have to put up with some hypothetical online devaluing of your achievement if you win the flag?
If you posted this in the bay (where it deserves to be), you'd be torn to shreds princess.

Have to agree - if you win a flag, you thoroughly deserve it. Very difficult to do, even for good sides.
The more time elapses, the more amazing hawthorn's recent era will become.
Last year the Bulldogs didn't 'fluke ' if, and whoever gets this year's flag hasn't benefited from a weak year, all flags are thoroughly earned.

How right you are, and how little people realise it.

2013 the exception. If Varcoe didn't panic we would've levelled the score against Hawthorn and gone into overtime with all of the momentum. Keep in mind we were without 2 top 5 players in this game also.
No matter who won that was beating Freo the next week. Again another Hawthorn beating Geelong where it matters situation.

But seriously, I don't think anyone will give a shit.
Most of the whinging would come from Geelong supporters.

No, it's a fact.
Not really. Would much rather see Dangerfield with a premiership medallion than the Swans.
Probably got something to do with their insufferable supporters on here.

Strange, in fact rather paranoid, thread. Most footy fans don't really care about Geelong, and insofar as people want Adelaide to win that has more to do with the Phil Walsh tragedy & respect for the AFC than deep seated jealousy of Geelong

Premiership celebrations will have to be held in Melbourne CBD, as opposed to the city of Geelong, because it's unfair to rob the Melburnians of celebrating a premiership win.

Probably.
Don't think most people care. But I hope the Crows win it. They deserve it.
