Carlton's was entertaining but blind freddy could have seen that coming. For me, Geelong's was made even more entertaining on the back of some comprehensive early home & away victories.
Geelong gets the :thumbsu: from me.

Nasty but true. The Cats had the day flag all parcelled up after their NAB Cup.
Can we give an honourable mention to Collingwood too. They were celebrating the 03 GF win after defeating the Lions in the QF...Very funny that.

Being from Adelaide I can't go passed the following:
- Port Adelaide 2001,02,03
- Adelaide last year and the past 3 weeks where there supporters have gone from the most arrogant people of all time to not talking about footy at all :D

Why are Geelong giving it the big "number one" in the photo? It was the pre-season for goodness sake. Therefore, they get my vote.

I don’t reckon you blame supporters for being confident when their team is top of the ladder come finals time. I’d have thought every club would be confident from that position.
I’m talking more where clubs (more than supporters) take practice match or early season wins as a guide to how they’ll perform in the season proper and start making big calls on the strength of it. Carlton may not have been talking flags but they reappointed a coach (doh!) on the back of a practice match comp. Geelong was declaring the ‘monkey off the back’ for failing in big games – I’d suggest that monkey’s looking like a gorilla after yesterday too. Hence why they get my vote.
Surely you have bigger fish to fry Jeffrey? :rolleyes:

Geelongs was huge. Monkey off the back. Coach and players talking it up. I think everyone (includuing Carlton) knew thay wouldn't even make finals after their night flag. They were just up and running early because they had been crap for a few years. I think Fev and Lance had a big series.
So my vote goes to Geelong. A genuine premature celebration!

Geelong by a country mile, because they are actually a 'good' team.
Good poll this one.I think Geelong get it as Carlton were still realistic about their chances come season proper,perhaps we could add a poll to quiz how many experts(?) were just as wrong about the Cats? Many experts/punters had the Cats way up the ladder,but,any one using Kent Kingsley,Andrew Mackie and Josh (look out here comes some traffic) Hunt,were kidding themselves.Cameron Ling continues to defy belief and get uglier and uglier every week.

Probably Geelong because it was not expected . I thought they were going to be contenders as well this year.

Your team couldn't even win one of those.
Heard the "Geelong one kick from a Grand Final last year" line again, while watching the replay of yesterday's game. How commentators can expect to be taken seriously when they come out with that kind of thing I do not know.

Surely St Kilda 2004 has to rate a mention. In saying that, St Kilda 2005 should be up there too. Who can't forget the flag-is-in-the-bag celebrations from St Kilda fans after their qualifying final win over Adelaide?

Surely St Kilda 2004 has to rate a mention.
Backed OUR Wizerd Cup win up with ten on the trot, buddy. And we WERE the drop of the ball from a GF the same year.
As for the Adelaide game last year, we were celebrating sure, but not because we thought the flag was in the bag.
Because we'd beaten the top of the table team at their home ground with massive injuries to key players. And Harves, as the oldest man in the AFL, had played an absolute blinder.
If you can't get excited over something like that, what's the point of following footy?
JeffDunne
14 Aug 2006, 15:28
I thought St Kilda were roundly criticised for not celebrating the Wizard Cup - GT and Lenny in particular?
So how could 2004 be a premature celebration if we didn't celebrate???

Hold ur heads high, winning a qualifying final, thats just amazing. A proud moment in St kilda history. Winning the 2005 Qualifying Final against all odds and away from home. Then getting pumped in the Prelim by a much better side.

Can certainly hold their heads higher than your sorry lot. Got to be in it to win it, talk to me after you complete your rebuilding phase and are actually good enough to play finals.

What an embarrassment, but still not as embarrassing as the Geelong Football Club and their efforts this season. :thumbsu: :)

A 10 DVD boxed set, about a run of victories which only served to make everyone else laugh harder when they fell over.
It's not like anyone from any club can control the media, how can we help it if Laidley calls us the likely premier after Rd 2?

A game in the early 80s where Carlton had a four goal lead over Essendon in time on. Someone hit the button and the Blues song started playing. Essendon piled on quick goals and won the bloody thing. Now that was embarassing.

I'll be the first to admit I have gotten a touch carried away with premature celebrations in the past.
After the 2004 preseason cup I booked grannie tickets in early April (connections) and had "Saints 2004" tattooed on my neck.
After we beat Adelaide at AAMI in the first week of finals last year, I changed by name by deed poll to "Gwilt" and married a lass from the cheersquad all on the same night.
Taking it easy in 2006 even though were dead-certs!
