Yep, I took this thread as a pisstake. Just look at the 1999 example.
I think the concession had the right idea in theory, but the Swans used it poach players, rather than retain them.

close thread boring
Oh how touche are Kangapoos & Geepong fans. Love it Bartos time for another hit
Please re-read the original post...the OP is asking for people to provide bay 13 excuses for tainted flags and included some of the reasons that have been used for the last 8 flags (which he even described as pathetic reasons). Bartos has already stated they are not his opinions.
Most of the respondents have given similar stupid excuses knowing that the original OP was not actually trolling but you seemed to have missed the whole point and think that the original was a troll.
You have embarrased yourself on 2 fronts:
1/ thinking the OP was a troll
2/ thinking all respondents have been sucked in to replying to that troll.

An interesting sidenote to the word 'TAINT'
from www.urbandictionary.com
1. TAINT
The area between the nutsack and arseh*le that prevent a man from shitting on his nuts. See durf.
Because it aint your nuts and it aint your anus

1996 Premiership - North hadn't won more than 3 games in a row all year, then won their 4th in a row to win the granny. Clearly tainted.

You were never going to win the 1996 flag.

You cheated, you were spanked, now instead of pride you have spoons!
every team that wins the flag each year deserves it and reserves the right to tell everyone else GET ____ED we are the champions!
at the end of the day the fashion you win the premiership is neither here nor there

Not if you cheat, there is no pride in that.
We skinned Freo for Hodge, giving them McFarlaine and Croad (then getting Croad back) for the #1 and whatever pick it was we got Mitchell with, I believe.
Otherwise we've gotten Ellis and Roughead from priority picks.
I'd say Carlton '95. Salary cap? What salary cap?

Well that is actually true. Someone from Sydney DID have hold of an Eagle player's jumper when Barry took that mark and it COULD have been a free kick to the Eagles. Have a look at the footage ! However I doubt very much that a goal would have resulted as the kick was from a fair distance. There WAS a hold of the jumper, the umpire missed it. These things happen in football and i'm not going to begrudge Sydney their premiership on those grounds.My favourite is that "Sydney's premiership is tainted because someone had hold of someone's jumper as Leo Barry took the mark and it should have been a free kick to the Eagles."

You're missing the point though - A massive beer and drug period in Geelong history lead to increased sexual urges between players and their wives/girlfriends and caused Geelong to have more sons for the Father/Son rule. Additionally, Geelong actually cared about their ex players enough to make it a tradition to pick up their sons.
Now I know that wasn't funny and it didn't make sense, but neither does the original argument didn't either.
Did you know for example that Collingwood has had the most father/son picks since the current draft system began? They've had 11, while Geelong has had 10.
