Chris Scott the master coach. Pretty much explains it. Best in the business and only really Macrae is close.

It's always an enjoyable read isn't it.
'We'd still be a powerhouse if it weren't for the CFL'.
Almost certain Natanui must be taking a dump on your chest in that profile pic, it’s the only explanation for you being this irrationally angry
You can’t lie that you’ve underachieved big time in the last 10 years based on final round ladder positions
We don't play home finals and 3 of those finals losses have been to MCG teams at that ground. You could say we're one flag short in that time, but are usually about the 3rd or 4th best team (which years were Geelong clearly the best and didn't win it?). This is where you get to say soft kills at GMHBA elevate us from 4th or 3rd to 2nd or 1st some seasons when we've had a good, but not spectacular side.

Who cares. It’s been fun to switch on the tv each week knowing the game will still be competitive at quarter time.
The emy Awards will see it the same

What do you expect them to do, win 6 grand finals? Lol
For a team that’s never bottomed out in recent times, they’re what every fan would want out of their club. Always around the mark and can pinch a flag any year.
It’s what I hoped the Lions would develop into when we were shit. 7 years of finals now for the same flags as Geelong in that time and I am more than happy, Cats fans would be too.

How are we the AFL love child? We get screwed with the umpiring, fixturing, drafting etc, we're the opposite of an AFL love child.
Hopefully we will be back playing finals again next year to give Collingwood and Geelong a proper fight so enjoy it while it lasts.

We have a few players who’ve been done for it: Dempsey got fined for it and he’s seemingly learned his lesson and it’s drifted out of his game.
He was one. Selwood obviously had a technique that he adhered to and as most cats fans acknowledge he trod a line between trying to actually win the ball and break tackles but also force the opponent to take him high and give away a free.
I don’t think we have others that are ‘notable’ for it as such. Most players probably ham it up to some degree but that from Rayner tonight was pretty abysmal. The first one was just a joke.
The second one was there - ironically Zac Guthrie is a player who should not have come rushing in but is one guy who would never feign for a free in a situation like that, though he DID push Rayner pretty hard. His action was just silly. But it shouldn’t have come to that in the first place

Suck shit. I hope you enjoyed every second of that game you absolute 5 year old.
Hawkins had a dive against Hawthorn in 2022 that was at least as abysmal as Rayner's.

Why would any non Geelong fan would want to see them up there year after year. Or any other team other than one's own. It's like those European football leagues where the same few teams always win because some Russian or Saudi billionaire owns them and buys the best players, managers etc. Don't get why fans of other clubs still watch or care.
Win more than one. They’ve had more opportunity than anyone else whilst also getting a dream fixture every year, yet still aren’t close to the most successful side of the last 15 years

Perhaps, but I think over 360 games with 1-2 defenders hanging off you, you can probably be forgiven for one that’s equitable with one that’s 150 metres away from an opponent taking a shot on goal.

What dream fixture? Does that somehow apply in the finals? Do we get to play you guys in the finals? Boy that would make things easy.
And yeah actually we are close to the most successful side of the last 15 years. We are 1 premiership behind that title. We’ve won 2 in that time, remember? The most successful side in that time has won 3. We’ve won 2. And we were leading a grand final by 20 points as well. So I’d say ‘not even close to being to most successful’ of the last 15 years is…. Well it’s probably a slight exaggeration. We are the 3rd most successful side of the last 15 years.
It's always an enjoyable read isn't it.

We pissed away a GF at the GABBA, straight sets and a GF loss as well. We’re easily comparable, yet I’d rather that then whatever we had from 2010-2018.
