Piss Poor Thread!!!!
A premiership is a premiership...no better ...no worse..you beat the opponent on the day, they give you the cup...you celebrate your ass off and get bragging rights for a year.
Always has been and always will be.
I would no more accept a diminishing of Hawthorn's flag in 2008, than a diminishing of ours in 2007.

as it currently stands both the current cats and hawks side have won one premiership each but are they really equal to each other ? are all premierships the same ?
when you win the premiership you get a cup,some medals and your name goes into the record books, thats always the same however with a premiership also comes all the glory and pride which is not always the same with each premiership, and their are a number of reasons why their is more glory in geelongs premiership than their is hawthorns
1.Geelong won a premiership by builiding a side without a pick below number 7 while hawthorn required 2 priority picks to build their premiership list, one of the years they had their prority pick their were two gun kp forwards available
2.Geelong won a premiership playing a brand of footy that was good for the game as it was fast free flowing, while hawthorn had to rush multiple behinds, introduce zones and clusters all over the ground and have played a brand of footy that pushes the rules to the limit
3.In 2007 geelong were the best side all year, won almost every award their is to win and then came out under lots of pressure and smashed port by 119 points which is as pure a premierships as you can get.Hawthorns is some what diluted due to the fact that they werent the best side in the season and because the gf was more lost by geelong than won by them
4.Geelong had far more pressure on the going into the 07 gf than hawthorn did in 08 , its alot easier when you are the under dog and you can play with a lot of freedom as hawthorn did in 08
5.cant go much into this one but their is the tainted issue
6.due to the fact that geelong won the premiership 12 months ago they were not as hungry, yes port won a flag 3 years earlier but its not the same
I know most will come on here and say this is crap but deep down you all know its true that their is no comparison between geelongs premiership and hawthorns
The history books will also have Geelong Cats 21-1 regular season. Played crap footy in the Finals and lost to a better team. Which also goes in harder at the ball. HAWTHORN HAWKS
ha ha ha LOLThat's what he wants you to think. Truth is that he had them surgically removed a while ago.
well said , you are one of the better posters from geelong

lol its not possible to fluke your way to a GF , port were simply the 2nd best side that year I mean they did finish 2nd on the ladder as well as making the GF.Considering that port lost by 119 points ofcourse their supporters will say they are not ready its a no brainer that.
as for 07 being a week year well st kilda did make the top 4 in 08 so the standard cant be to high
as for the hawks being the best in 07 dont know what lodgic thats based on probably the same lodgic that puts the hawks in the BIG 4 and the same lodgic that says hodge should of been number 1 draft pick.Hawthorn finished 5th in 07 and could only beat the side that finished 8th on the last kick of the day.Hawthorn then came out and faced the side that finished 4th and were beaten with ease.It was like they were teasing you as they would let you get close then they would lift their game and kick 3 or 4 goals.
hawthorn in 08 did not come 1st , geelong did in 07
hawthorn did not convincenley win the 08 gf as geelong should of been 4 goals up at half time and the game would of been all over, geelong won by an all time winning record in the 07 GF
our premiership was the ultimate and as pure as you can get because we were without doubt the best, hawthorns is diluted because it can not be said without doubt that they are the best

not true, just think back to when we won our premiership we knew we won it because we were the best and thats all their was to it which is much better than winning a premiership because someone else stuffed up.A cup is a cup, I can go and get my mates dad who owns a trophy making bussiness to make me a cup or a medal if I wanted to.

Just as a matter of interest - can you tell me the names of the teams that won the minor premierships in the Lion three peat without looking it up Crazy?
Because right or wrong, Geelong's 2008 will be consigned to history as a trivia question in the fullness of time.
To the victors go the spoils.

the lions won 3 premierships so they are ahead of geelong atm, hawthron and geelong won one each so geelong are ahead of hawthorn atm because theirs was better

You've missed the point of the question, haven't you.
meep meep meep hello backtrack
If you really believe all this you must be a bigger moron than i thought.
witsend knows what he is talking about unlike you who bags supporters of his own club how sad are you !
he really, genuinely believes it. lives and breathes it. it's not trolling. this is his peabrain mindset.
we also won a heap in the 80's along with essendon so we and bombers are better then you too !
If you are running in a marathon...it doesn't matter if you were ahead with 1 metre to go. Whoever crosses the line first is the winner. Hawthorn won the game that counted.
I have also seen people demean our Flag in 2007 because Port were supposedly 2nd rate/ Well, hello,, they were better that year than every other team except us, including Hawthorn. But that was then, this is now.
Ok...let's imagine in 2009, Hawthorn only lose 2 games for the year, we lose 4 but both finish Top 4. Yet we beat them in a GF...
Would our Flag mean less than 2007? No!
Personally I think winning when you're the underdog would mean just as much if not more.
I won't take crap about Geelong being soft and chokers and shit like that but I'm also not gonna be accused of being a sore loser...particularly if we get up next year!

As far as I know we only had one Priority Pick, and that was Roughead. Hodge was a No.1 Pick from a trade.

No, I’m just disappointed
Ellis was a priority pick also.

Do you need me to tell you which years Brisbane won the flag to assist with your search?
