The Comprehensive List of Ways in Which Geelong Cheat

[Sttew]

Having an average forward set up made look good by a decent midfield (not really cheating, but often noted by opposition supporters)

And

Bucking "tradition" by not sliding in 2011

Your the mod, change the title if you like. It would take all the humour out of the thread but lets just make lists of things.

Yes I'm a mod and I'm quoting your own post but I not going to just change something just because i don't like it or its not funny for me. Perhaps I'm a bit too liberal but there you go. But everything has a line , not sure where it is but if I or the other mods think it has crossed it , action will be taken.

Also,

Not losing close games.

Certainly. After all, just being Collingwood apparently means we didn't really beat them at all. At least I am pretty sure that's why people keep saying they are the best team in the competition.

Having an average forward set up made look good by a decent midfield (not really cheating, but often noted by opposition supporters)

That definitely counts as cheating! I mean, there is no way we should score as much as we do with the spuds we have in our forward line.

 

[Connoisseur]

If cheating in these various methods is wrong then I do not want to be right.

Top thread!

Lighten up comrades!

 

[Pollywaffle]

They are closer to Perth and Adelaide- Less distance to travel interstate

 

[Lunchlady Doris]

I can't believe there are people in this thread that thought the OP was serious?!?

 

[Scottland2007]

# 457. Having bigger bodied midfielders.
# 458. Having a more experienced side.
# 459. Having a ruckman that can play up forward.

9. Being good at what they do

I marvel at how well managed, measured and controlled we have become. As Whateley mentioned on 360 last week - we have become boring due to our sustained success. We used to be mentally fragile as a Club but we are now the polar opposite and just seem to do everything right.
Well informed discussion in the coffee room this morning got a lot of admiration and jealousy as to how we didn't miss a beat despite how many kids we played. We are so lucky to support this Club.
Let the handbagger phrase be gone forever , we are Geelong and we are loving it !!

Funny thread although it just reminds me how the main board on Big Footy gets stupider everyday.

Y supporter posts: "I think X team is lacking in depth or X team player is not playing so well"

X supporter poster "waaa you suck Joel duckwood bleeeat, Norf, Jacqueline Watts, drugs Arizona bleugghh"...*mashes angry cheeto dust covered fists on keyboad*

 

[vinum coupe]

ha ha. You're a nutter Beth.

Yeah the main board is useless.
Post a good thread with a poll and they move it to the polls board. (who even knew one existed)
Post a thread on rule interprestations and they move it to the rules board. (see above)
Post a thread on Pendles new haircut - 5 stars



BTW, What on earth is that avatar?
From a party that got out of hand I take it.

It was a long walk home.....

Playing teams that come off the bye.

Great thread on the main board, it's full of material.

I'm surprised the AFL hasn't stepped in to do something about our cheating.


NOTE: THE ABOVE POST CONTAINS HIGH LEVELS OF SARCASM AND SOME ASPECTS OF IT SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN AS THE LITERAL OPINION OF MYSELF OR ANYONE ELSE ON THIS BOARD.

 

[Crhferrari]

20, Selwood now has an heir: Allen Christensen, in terms of drawing high tackles.

 

[Big Fozza]

Rushed behinds. Oh wait....

 

[goodoldcats]

none of our players are any good, they just have other players in the team that make them look good

OR

(insert name) is a spud, i could get 30 touches if i played for geelong. (insert opposition forward) would kick 10 goals a game if he played for geelong

Oh yeh, I forgot that one. Don't forget about us having the sheer nerve to win our close games, too.

 

[Shell]

Me too..

Geeze.. wonder what team you are referring to there.

I refuse to speak to people who use it. Ask Tom Lonergan about it and check how many other current footballers have donated body parts.

P.S. #21 - Not finishing in the bottom four since 1986. You just can't do that, you're meant to win 3 successive wooden spoons and be happy about it!

 

[Wish Wellingtons]

We only beat good teams who are saving themselves for finals.

 

[Generalissimo]

Preventing other teams giving Matthew Scarlett an opponent.

 

[Hoffy95]

Can't believe some people didn't realise OP was being sarcastic.

Epic comprehension FAILS.

 

[joe444]

This is solid gold and must be high up on the list.

Also note that because we give away more frees against on average than for in our games, this is FURTHER PROOF OF A CONSPIRACY - a deliberate smokescreen.

I also love #6 about not playing decent opposition on our home ground. By definition we play decent opposition at neutral venues or THEIR home grounds = CHEATING!! UNFAIR ADVANTAGE!!

23. Continued success. This proves we must be up to something.

OP has my support. Thread title could perhaps be a little more imaginative. I like the idea of the thread being a sarcastic confession./
