Are Geelong back on the PEDs?

 

[PatientMental]

Had some old chode argue black and blue to me that Stengle’s success at Geelong was proof positive we should get Rioli.

Our wider supporter base is so cooked, Jon Favreau is interested in featuring it on his Netflix show.

Did you inform him that we don't have a performance enhancing drug regime?

 

[Hammer#8]

Why am I such a loyalist and watch shit games of footy right til the end?

 

[Marmozet]

Brisbane will miss the 8 next year.

 

[bomberclifford]

March 2021: Stengle delisted by Crows due to several illicit drug incidents.
November 2021: Stengle signed as DFA by Geelong
September 2022: Stengle kicks 3 goals in a prelim and will play in a Grand Final.

Some clubs just know how to manage druggies.

 

[PatientMental]

Brisbane will miss the 8 next year.

Even with pick 1 and potentially dunkley?

 

[all seeing eye]

Brisbane will miss the 8 next year.

Ultimate flat trackers will win most home games. Terrible away. Still make 8.

The key is not to stop but do more.

 

[JimmyBC]

They played like Fitzroy tonight there finally is a tangible link.

Ha. It was more to do with the trifling difference of rifling through some bins to find a 23yo on minimum wage, versus paying through the neck for a 27yo whose greatest asset is his fancy surname.

...and yet we can't get near them

 

[Marmozet]

Even with pick 1 and potentially dunkley?

Yeah.

Port 2015 vibes.

He does also own a pretty impressive portable pergola

 

[Greasyrhys]

The loins matched our losing margin from last year

 

[JimmyBC]

Pretty hilarious that we could've had Rioli or Stengle for the price of a skinless frankfurt when they were chugging around the SANFL.

Our list managers and recruiters actually earning their money by watching more than the u/18s?

Don't be insane

 

[x_les_x]

anyone seen zorko?

 

[Janus]

Brisbane will miss the 8 next year.

Agreed.

Top six fixture, most of their prime movers (Rich, Daniher, Cameron, Neale, Lyons, McCarthy, Zorko, McInerney) 28 or older, none of their top line recruits like Rayner, McCluggage, Berry etc coming on like they would hope.

Absolutely flogged by Melbourne twice in the regular season, managed to make finals on the back of playing four teams that missed the eight in GWS (2-0), Gold Coast (2-0), St Kilda (2-0) and Essendon (1-1) twice.

Good thing they have a top recruit about to waltz in through the draft.

 

[TeeKray]

Brisbane are a joke but they're still hard to beat at home plus they're going to add Dunkley to their midfield. Hard to see them missing the 8.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Are Geelong back on the PEDs?

Micro dosing is the way to go these days.

 

[robbo1981]

$'s on it Robbo?

Would of won $800 the lazy snap from the boundary

 

[philreich]

Fun fact - Geelong hasn't won a flag in an even numbered year since 1952. In fact, ALL of their other premierships have occurred in odd numbered years.

lucked out in 2011 with such a great list that he had to manage their work loaad after 4 big years rather than coach them, he has therefore had a decade to build his list rather than inherit a flag and taken 9 years to get to another GF and might win a flag 11 years later.

That would be a record gap between flags at the same club under the expansion era.

If the swans win then Longmire goes a decade between flags and he gets the record. He won a flag in his 2nd year.

If Collingwood win the flag McRae gets the record for biggest improvement - from 17th to 1st.

They play like 90s Fitzroy quite often at the MCG. Which really shows just how off the boil the Dees were last week.
