How much whinging will a Geelong premiership bring?

[Prudster]

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.

Last i checked, giving up a 4 goal lead at 3qtr time, as well as conceding 10 of the last 11 scores of the game, isn't going into overtime with the momentum. Nor was Geelong a shoe in against Freo, who beat them on their own home deck just a couple of weeks earlier.

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.

I remember sitting with a similarly scarred Cats supporter watching the 07 GF. He still wasn't convinced of the win at 3/4 time!

Almost impossible to happen. Of the other three teams, the Cats are significantly worse than two of them, and only marginally better than the other one.
Friday night will be curtains for Geelong.

I think Geelong fans have this crazy over-inflated sense of worth in the AFL landscape.

No one really cares about your team.

In fact, from people I've spoken to the only comments about Geelong are how much they sook about every aspect of the game (lead of course by your coach)

Playboi Carti out now on all streaming services!

One thing is for certain, even if Adelaide belts them many Cats fans will still believe they have the wood over Adelaide and are the better team.

Well we did beat Adelaide in Geelong by more than they beat us in Adelaide.
We also finished equal on the ladder in terms of W/L/D.

Our midfield embarrasses there's but their forwardline makes ours look like a joke. Backline, take your pick but ours will be better when Lever leaves in 4 weeks.

Given that we've made 8 preliminary finals in the last 11 years, won 75% of our games and won 3 flags, a lot of people are understandably sick of us dominating year in, year out.

There seems to be a lot of angst being directed at us as a result, and I feel us winning the premiership this year will be the straw that breaks the backs of a lot of football supporters, particularly Hawks and Crows supporters.

Thoughts?

Lol at thinking you'll win the premiership

 

[The 747]

Well King Cold has managed to rouse our Hawthorn brothers into some good old Geelong hating....well done. Shit thread.

Dominated year in and year out?

Dogs won the flag last year.

Hawks won the three previous to that.

Sydney won in 2012.

Geelong did win in 2011.

Collingwood won in 2010.

Where exactly is the domination by Geelong? I think you mean Hawthorn?

 

[Sttew]

But of course all this talk is hypothetical

 

[Sttew]

3 flags in 60 odd years, that hurts.

4 in 54......don't exaggerate

 

[Danog]

Their 20 fans will love it

8 PF's in 11 years. I know that is not 8 premierships, but plenty of clubs would be envious of that

Getting confused with home and away dominance I think. Which as we all know, is irrelevant if you don't walk away with silverware.

Don't forget the tenpeat from the 2 team competition of the 16th century that they always remind us of.

It's 4 in 54 actually, assuming we don't win this year.

 

[PhatBoy]

On the original post, strangely I think Hawks fans, the knowledgable ones at least, can appreciate how much it takes to stay good for a long time, owing both to their similar length of time at the top in the 80s, and their recent success.

I think the mutual respect between the two sides has grown and the two of us, along with Sydney, have 'stood against' the measures from the Afl to try and share success. So there's almost a degree of affirmation when one of the three succeeds.

 

[Craze]

No, it's a fact.

Was that you who rang SEN again this morning accusing Richmond supporters of whinging?

 

[telsor]

And we've done it all without playing a single home final (except one).

You've had 2 this year.

 

[SdKfz 181]

Anything is better than a Richmond flag at this point

Hungry for the pre-salt. That's funny.

It shows what's possible but that's it. Hawthorn neee some list changes to ever get close again

 

[JayJ20]

Unless you are a Hawthorn or Adelaide fan, I doubt that a Geelong premiership would cause a stir.

If Richmond don't win it, I'd want Geelong to win.

 

[aCunningPlan]

People don't particularly care, beyond the Bigfooty bubble Geelong is an inoffensive team for many.
