Carlton 2025 = Richmond 2016?
Sam McClure made this comparison recently.. and he has a good point. In 2016.. everyone was saying we were no good, the list had peaked, sack Hardwick and trade anyone with currency for picks! Our football department even admitted the aim was to build a list to play finals, rather than aim to...- Havoc

Carlton 2025 = Geelong 2006?
Right now.. Carlton are underperforming after being expected to challenge for a flag this year, coming off back to back finals series in the previous two years.. not too dissimilar to Geelong 2006. The form lines over three seasons.. are remarkably similar to one another. Carlton 2023.. lost...- Havoc

Banter Geelong V Richmond - GO!
Melbourne clubs are at a disadvantage, because no one gets to train at Docklands or the MCG.. and none of those players you listed are in the realm of Harley Reid and Zak Butters. Also.. I'm sure you remember Esava Ratugolea being worth more at the trade table than Bailey Smith, despite both...- Words: 75

Banter Geelong V Richmond - GO!
It's quite reasonable to predict Chris Scott to have another 4 flags under his belt as Geelong coach.. by the time he reaches the same age as Chris Fagan. Also.. there is a mega thread on here, asking if Nick Daicos can become the greatest player of all time. The question about Chris Scott...- Words: 72

Banter Geelong V Richmond - GO!
Geelong is a far cheaper place to live than Melbourne.. so the salary cap should be adjusted accordingly. Remember when Sydney had an extra 9.8% of salary cap space?? The solution here, is to increase the salary cap for Melbourne clubs by 12.7%.. or lower Geelong's salary cap by 12.7%...- Words: 56

Banter Geelong V Richmond - GO!
Geelong could win the flag and add the likes of Harley Reid and Zak Butters to their team.. while other clubs win flags and lose players thanks to the salary cap. People will counter this by saying we got Tom Lynch after finishing top of the ladder.. but we paid more for Tom Lynch than Geelong...- Words: 110

Geelong rorting the system
Geelong and rorting the salary cap.. go together like Jay-Z and sex trafficking. There is lots of smoke, and where there's smoke.. there's fire.- Words: 25

Are Carlton on the verge of greatness?
People said the same about us in 2016.. too reliant on Cotchin, Deledio, Martin, Rance and Riewoldt, with the rest of the list being full of plodders. Carlton need to target solid B grade players this off season aka meat and potatoes players.. we did so in 2016 by bringing in Prestia, Caddy and...- Words: 68

Geelong rorting the system
You live vicariously through Chris Scott.. which is quite sad. Do you also happen to live vicariously through celebrities?? None of these people know you exist!- Words: 26

Geelong rorting the system
Does anyone remember the media telling us about Chris Scott coaching for free in 2020?? Easy to do when Scott is an ambassador for Morris Finance.. and 5G networks. It's no different to when Chris Judd was being paid as an environmental ambassador for Visy.. or Stephen O'Reilly receiving brown...- Words: 55

Team 20 should be in Geelong
The Geelong region is stronger than the states of WA and SA.. and we saw the AFL bring second teams into those states to prevent the Eagles and Crows from being too strong. Remember when people complained about the Eagles being like a State of Origin team?? Well we're now seeing it with the...- Havoc

Lions vs Cats vs Hawks - Which dynasty is the best?
Hocking changing rules to stop us.. would suggest we are tall poppies, along with the media trying to cut us down at every opportunity. Exhibit A being Whateley with his 'state of the game' carry on... which coincidentally stopped after we declined post 2020!- Words: 44

Lions vs Cats vs Hawks - Which dynasty is the best?
Geelong missed finals in 2015 and 2023.. so their dynasty is over, same as the others. The media seem to ignore this.. when telling us about how this current Geelong team, is a continuation of the 2007 Geelong dynasty team.. no idea why but it's annoying!- Words: 46

No Oppo Supporters OPPOSITION OBSERVATION XLI
Melbourne's crowd against Fremantle yesterday.. was bigger than Essendon's crowd against Port Adelaide the other week, and given that Port Adelaide have more supporters than Fremantle in Victoria.. are Essendon even a big club any more?? Oh how the mighty Bombers have fallen! -
