Geelong are the danger.
Imagine being gifted such a soft draw, 2 seasons out from winning a flag...

Consider yourself shocked!
They might not win any of them? They have the worst midfield in the competition, absolutely useless at stoppages and no rucks. They have finally bottomed out. It's okay, the major re-build must start now.
I don't think that's completely the case.
This season we've had six disastrous quarters of football.
- 1st quarter against Brisbane
- 1st and 2nd quarter against Port
- last 3 quarters against the Suns.
All six of the quarters had the same characteristics. I think it was very obvious that we were/are physically lacking in midfield and around the ball in general. We are seeing that in wet/slippery conditions that is amplified with the problem much more manageable in dry conditions. When you can't finesse the situation and have to repeatedly put your head over the ball our midfield and half forwards lack of size is getting exposed, we see them get pushed off the ball and completely dominated at stoppages.
Geelong have the most easy draw this year, yet North and WCE have had very difficult ones to start the year.
Good for watching the inevitable fall from grace I guess but it's simply a leg-up Geelong don't need.

Geelong never convinced me, they are pretenders. Will probably finish around 8th and lose week 1 of finals. Remind me of North in 2016 who won the first 10 then barely won any more and almost scraped into the 8. An aging list with generally pretty average youngsters. Theyve been up so long its about bloody time too.

Aren't these things based on the previous year in isolation? Regardless, we don't get the whinging WCE twice so it can't be that soft.
You get us in round 23 at GBH stadium. A nice soft kill, just in time for finals.
Also, lol at being previous year in isolation, when Geelong got a famously easy draw last year also and bottom 4 sides got much tougher ones.
I guess there's a reason they fail spectacularly most years. Geelong gets such an easy draw that they're simply set up to fail come finals time.

As opposed to not playing your bunch of whingers at all? Also most teams 'fail' every year, but one thing we can say for certain in the 21st century is that no one has tasted success more than Geelong. Strange post, but a fixture whine is in-line with the way your club conducts itself these days so fair enough.
What whining? I seem to recall the AFL giving your coach a 'please explain' for not getting favourable HT umpiring for once.

I have never really considered that but it is an interesting thought.

Imo there is no way the Cats miss the 8. Yes they are in transition but still have a reasonable draw and talent spread..

I knew our boy Flash would be up and about with the doom and gloom after that loss. True to form, here he is.
Geelong have Richmond, North and West Coast to come and he doesn't even have them winning all three of those games!
Pretty sure he retired Selwood and Dangerfield in May 2022, and was picking them for the spoon the next year. Must be a Tigers fan in disguise, it's the only explanation.

Old Flash isn't a troll or burner account, he/she is just unbelievably emotional with no room for nuance.
A single win is the beginning of a dynasty. World hunger has been solved, discrimination is a thing of the past, and we all live in a utopia.
A single loss means the club should be burned to the ground, the coach & players sacked, and an AFL investigation into why the Geelong Football club is so shit.
Even by BigFooty standards, it's quite the pendulum swing.
Unfortunately, when you're documenting your meltdowns on the internet rather than in your own home, it can leave quite the track record for why you shouldn't be taken seriously.

Rebuild is coming along well, getting valuable gametime into the kids who are showing great signsWell, I'm pretty stoked to still be sitting where we are.
No one expected us to be inside top four at this stage of the season.
Meanwhile, your pitiful club is going to finish bottom two
The slightly older Stengle, Miers, & Zuthrie would be top 5 in the B&F, while Holmes might well be leading it.
Ollie Henry leading the goal-kicking wouldn't be too far down the list either.
To be sitting 7-3 while doing that is all you can ask for as a supporter.
Get to witness the future without the caveat of hating football for 6 months of the year.
