Geelong conducted a review at the end of 2006 after failing to make the finals. The previous two years had seen them lose a preliminary to Brisbane by 9 points and a semi final to the eventual premiers the Swans with 3 seconds to go. Geelong in 2007 was a natural progression after many years with a hugely talented list that had one bad season in between. It's not as if Geelong had come from nowhere to win the flag? The Cats were always on the radar for at least 3 seasons before 2007, was it really such a surprise?No, it was a direct comment about the size and hardness of your players and how much that had changed since early 2007 into September 2007. While Robinson was at the club. And on the phone to Dank daily.
If this is the absurd thinking people are having then the game really has been brought into disrepute by Essendon, and maybe they should be ostracised from the competition altogether because it's just getting ridiculous.
People love conspiracy theories. You will always have the unhinged. paranoid conspiracy theorists. They're the people who always try to divide rather than unite us. One team has made a mistake, not every team. The competition has to unite as one and this is why 17 other clubs have sided with the AFL, the Bombers need to rejoin this competition and be as one or find themselves cast out. It appears one man believes he is bigger than the whole bloody lot!
