No, you're having comprehension issues. When you ask, how many spoons have you won, that includes all spoons does it not? not just the recent spoon. So it's still irrelevant how many 'total spoons' the dees have won because the only relevant spoons are the ones in my lifetime.
With the current rules Father/Son would've lost us James Kelly in the Ablett year and we would've missed out on one of Hawkins and Selwood. That obviously would've hurt, but not as much as for Melbourne if they avoided being terrible the years they recruited a number of their superstars. Even with that it took so long, with so much extra assistance. The 2021 flag was absolutely gift wrapped and 5 or so finals wins is still under par from all that.
You really are not understanding things are you ? My response after your claim you don’t care about your club’s history before you were born
I have no idea what you're talking about with the 2021 flag. We have had 1 decent father/son in 20+ years. We had to win 'away' during the entire finals and we were 60-80 points better than the next best teams who we smashed in all of the finals. Literally the opposite of gift wrapped. Imagine if we had the luxury of a Hawkins at full forward with pick 43. embarrassing handout.

The carry on is opposition supporters tying themselves in knots making threads like this one. We're just enjoying the rebuilding, fallen-of-the-cliff Geelong starting the season well.
You're not understanding things. Do I care about the spoon in 2008? yes. Do I care about the total number of spoons won? no. Your question was regarding the total number of wooden spoons we won.
I really shouldn’t feed the troll but geez some of the points and excuses are just lazy and illogical
Seems to be a trend amongst the two supporter bases with COVID Cups in their collection sadly.
I am saying Geelong's advantage in not having to bid for Father Sons those years (losing James Kelly and one of Selwood or Hawkins) was less than Melbourne's advantage of a supply belt of top level talent via the draft for being terrible for so long. From Paul Roos and the succession plan, priority picks, to burning top 5 picks (and probably ruining careers)...it all worked out eventually on the condition a finals series could be played in WA. 0-4 in finals at the G since then. Melbourne would've likely landed a dynasty if they could've become the Perth Demons.
Ours wasn't a covid cup. Full quarters, the works. just more challengers in that we had to win away during the finals. It was also a flag that you guys tried very hard to win, did you not.
Danny has a history of whinging when it comes to Geelong. The other Demons supporters I've come across are mostly sound of mind and lacking on the bitterness scale. I'm not sure if he's been ousted from the tribe but I wouldn't use him as an example for Melbourne supporters.
Geelong try hard to win every year.
Don’t forget all the failed F/S the club has had that no one talks …hell the Dogs have more F/S on their list than we ever had yet the troll doesn’t mention that at all
Every club does unless they are tanking..wouldn’t want an investigation into that right ?
I've only just realised this is the Jhye Clark guy from the other thread. That's a little reassuring.
That's just the speculative nature of drafting though. Geelong has burnt more than your fair share of first rounders so its double standards to then point the finger at us. Missing Dusty hurt. 0-4 in the finals at the G is disappointing but we've had a lot of injuries in all of those 4 finals and still almost pinched both games despite the injuries and despite poor goal kicking.
So why do you try to belittle a flag that your club tried hard to win yet couldn't?
Where did I do that Einstein ?
a) it's not trolling, they're my true opinions and b) I've consistently said, for many years, mentioned the dogs as being the most gifted club in terms of father/son and academy picks alongside Geelong and Brisbane.
You liked the covid cup comment. Pretty obvious attempt at belittling the flag.
You discredit Geelong's achievements due to 'embarrassing handouts' and expect no little COVID Cup jibe? Low-hanging fruit maybe, but fair's fair.
Bold of you to assume what part of that post I liked
Yeah, what an unlikely conclusion to draw...lol
