Geelong – most loved to most disliked?

[Eagle9294]

You're right you know.

When a lift broke down in a CBD car park and an elderly couple couldn't climb the stairs to get to their car, Ballantyne went up, got his car, drove down and picked them up. He then drove them up to their car.

What an arseh*le.

i heard he tried to bang the wife and stole the husbands wallet. amidoingitright?

How can anyone like a team with a terrible human being like Johnson in it.

Is that why Crowley goes to Johnston?

 

[PattoMan99]

Clearly tonight showed that Geelong is most loved by the umpires and most disliked by opposition supporters.

 

[BEEG]

This thread sums up Cat supporters pretty well I would have thought

They can't handle any kind of criticism

I will tell you this name a Geelong game in the last 5 years where they have been hard done by from umpires? Always seem to get the rub of the green.

 

[gaskin]

Never liked them. Even when they were winning Grand finals I still went for Port and Saints. The only time I would ever support them is if they were playing the Eagles and even then only begrudgingly.

 

[BEEG]

I don't dislike them, I respect them.

You can't dislike a group who has been so good for so long.

Coming up 8 years in top 4. Amazing

I think most people dislike their supporters not majority of the team

I just dont know how you could dislike a team because of the supporters. I think Eagles have some dick supporters - I know some of them personally - but even I know that out of its fifty something thousand members, the majority of them arent dicks. Thats the same with every club. Thats like disliking a race or everyone who likes the transformers movies. Its a massive amount of people that have very little to do with each other other then a similar like. Its just something that I cant wrap my mind around.

 

[Magma]

it's okay they're still my 2nd favourite team and that's all that matters

As a recent edition to the magpie army (have followed them all my life but have jumped on afl since retiring from local footy 5 years ago) I can tell all the cats supporters at following a team that's disliked is just sensational. Embrace it.

Go read through this thread and look at some of the smug arrogant Geelong supporters and their responses

This will give you your answer

Thats what... ten people out of how many members? 35000? Thats if they are even members. Thats such a ridiculous small sample size. If people really let themselves have their decisions altered for them by ten people then sheesh, I dont even know what to say to that.

I do live in Perth?

Have been a dirty team even in their glory years. Likewise have played for free kicks. The thing is, they have also been an excellent team, so the media and a lot of fans give them a free pass.

It would be great if they could cut the dirty play and diving/ducking out of their game.

It would be great if people who know nothing about football STFU.

 

[manboob]

Or is it because they have appeared to have been getting an armchair ride by the umps/AFL for some time?

Get the ball first get the first opportunity at a free kick.
I realise there is a little bit of gamesmanship at times by our players thats just experience like Bartel today, make sure he got down low when he picked the ball up Freo player took him head high. He didn't lead with his head just make sure he put himself in a good position for the Freo player to make a mistake and he did.

Try being a Freo supporter then and putting up with them. You can't have proper football conversation with the vast majority of them as they just turn into a complete bunch of **** wits.

 

[manboob]

How does Varcoe seriously get a game?

Zac Dawson board.

 

[manboob]

Can't see how any neutral could ever barrack for a Ross Lyon coached team

Ross Lyon / Paul Roos football is the greatest threat to the future growth of the code

I wrote the exact same thing on the Cats board earlier today.
It's an existential crisis!

It's weird, I can have a proper football conversation with plenty of eagles fans, but Freo fans are very difficult.

Something mysterious is at work here.

Yeah he's not one of our best. But he's got more premiership medals than your whole side combined. Suck it up.

The problem I have found with Eagles supporters is you can start off having a decent conversation and then they drop in to the old, boring premiership crap.

A premiership medal doesn't make you a better player than others who haven't won flags.

In Colombia, they kill people in the face of Apartheid and suppression.

I wish WA was Colombia.

**** you Vics.

EDIT. Jokes..

 

[Topper Harley]

We jumped on the back of 3 men in yellow tonight, and any time that happens you'll cop it from the nuetrals.

You also need to factor in jelousy and the stupid (e.g those who think Selwood ducks).

I understand the dislike of Geelong, but if you don't respect the team, your opinion doesn't deserve any respect.
