Tried to ask this to Geelong supporters on our board, but it was swiftly deleted and i was directed to ask it here.

So i guess fans of all the other clubs can give their opinion too.

Do you find it a bit funny and maybe even a tad sad, Freo's rivalry with Geelong, which only seems to go one way? i.e. - Geelong just don't care for them.

Obviously they've been rubbish for pretty much ever, and as such have been beaten regularly by nearly all the teams. But it's losing to Geelong that gets them angry the most.

It's not just the fans either, Freo's players fire up and can't take it too, with at least one of their players reported in at least the last 3 matches, and scuffles regularly also.

Personally i think it's slightly humorous, the banter and aggression that comes from their side, but from our side it just seems to be a bit of an "Ahhh good old Freo!" and a bit of a smirk.
Ahhh Geelong posters... :eek: Who ever said we had a rivalry??. You must have a mountain of evidence to prove you're jibba jabba... surely??? Please provide it

Anyhoo, yet another pointless thread, and lets face it, this is not the first time you Geelong lot invented something.
You coined the term Bradbury premiership for you're almighty handbag choke in last years GF.

If it makes you feel like less of a goose we don't really care about Geelong either.... take that away with you champ and have a think about it:thumbsu:

I have lived in Geelong and Freo. Both wonderful places with a great lifestyle.

I suspect Geelong see too much of their own history and culture in Fremantle to be comfortable. Hence the post. Perenial losers, best when celebrating a loss and lacking a strong inner self image.

I wouldn't call it a rivalry by any means. Not even close.

Maybe you should do a bit of checking up on BF history and the way that a certain Cats Mod overreacted to Freo posters some time ago after a certain game.

When you have finished doing that you might want to wipe the dribble off your chin.

There's a good lad.....run along now.

Pretty much.

Laughable that a cats fan can say that they couldn't care less when one of their mods went on a banning rampage, for people saying nothing more than KTHNXBAI and trying to get certain Geelong mods to stop actively trolling on the Freo board when they knew there was no mod there.

That's a pretty classy display right there.

Hence this game is forever known as the KTHNXBAI Cup.

What a load of crap? Fair dinkum, why would Freo care about Geelong? Seriously, we couldn't give 2 hoots about the Cats

*shakes head ruefully*

The thing about Freo is nobody particularly cares about them.... and nobody really respects them... so much so that they probably get wins when they shouldnt because so many teams take them lightly as a football club and treat them like the joke they are. They only have to play slightly above pathetic to surprise sides.

You know what is sadder than 2 clubs arguing over who cares most about a non-existent rivalry?

B2B running around trying to get in on the debate by bagging Freo ...your like a chihuahua at a Doberman convention. What's the thought process ...I may find some friends on this thread - let's roll out my A-grade material ...Freo suck LOL

yap yap yap Freo ...yap yap joke yap yap yap no flag.

Sit Ubu sit ...good boy.

Got to admit the Freo V Geelong games at Subi are great to watch.....

From last years PavChoke to this years umpires assisting Geelong to ensure the Saints V Cats blockbuster is still a goer, they are always good value.

Loved the anger Ling gave to the Freo boys. Also enjoyed seeing Mooney miss a goal that an u/10 would kick with ease.
