'Questions that don't warrant a thread' Thread - Part 2

[Big A]

Yes - it was started off season by Grizz 4-5?? years ago

Have no idea as to find the thread - many good posters involved.

Could form the basis for a great book. 13 glorious chapters of flags, with a sprinking of GF loses.

Grizz, where are these? Can you stoke the fire to get some new content up and running (writing) -perhaps starting with 08?

I'm too lazy to sift thru all the draft hoopla to find a possible answer but I thought we had pick 15? Where did that go? Or was it just shunted down the list by all these academy/father-son picks somehow?

Round 1 is Geelong's home game so I would say round 2.

yeah I'm confused on this so I'm contacting the club(hoping they can tell me) but thanks for the tip your most likely right was secretly hoping it was the cats(love beating them)...

 

[Off The Couch]

Against the Eagles on a Sunday - not school holidays and not good scheduling for those wanting to get to the game from WA. Do they ever really think about the scheduling

 

[smeltitdeltit]

Watching the semi final against adelaide.
2nd quarter breust goals, goal umpire calls for review, says he thinks its a goal.
Review overturns and says he fresh aired it.

If i recall, breuest stated afterwards he 100% hit it.
They need definitive proof to overturn.

Was this decision ever explained??

No. If you look at the gameday thread, I point it out about 15 times

Highly unlikely.
I was under the impression that if the video was inconclusive, the decision reverted to the umpire's call. Which in this instance was a goal. Another bullshit call from the AFL umpiring fraternity.

Its always unfurled before the first HOME game
As our first home game is round 2 v Eagles, it's done then

AFL equalisation policy.

Didn't you ask this question a few days after we won the flag?

It'll be unfurled at our first home game in Melbourne and another unfurling in Tassie for our first game there.

Makes no sense to unfurl it at someone else's home game, although the whole concept of home and away is lost these days with neutral venues. Least in Melbourne.

Hi folks, sorry if this is the wrong place for this question.

I'm planning on heading to Launceston for our game this year. Just wondering if anyone can recommend (semi) decent accommodation near the ground, and more importantly, a good watering hole for after the game?

Cheers.

Anybody know whether when using Tapatalk we can view polls? Never have been able to thus far

Also, why again are Geelong (fondly) referred to as The Handbaggers? Where/what is the origin of this?

Late 60's and through the 70's Lou Richards (ex Collingwood then Sun News C7 commentator) gave many personalities and Clubs nic names. He called the pussies the Handbaggers and it stuck.

In 2008 the week prior to the Grannie some "guys" made a Handbaggers sign and concreted into the side of the Geelong freeway.

Probably still on utube
