That Geelong flogs are sad & desperate enough to bother caring about 1880's flags in the first place says it all about their deep seeded manifest insecurities and desperation for relevance.
I couldn't even give a stuff about our 1961 flag because I wasn't alive to see it. The only ones that mean anything to me are those I've been lucky enough to witness and I've been alive to see my team win more than any non-Hawthorn supporter on this forum. Stuffed to the eyeballs with Premiership glory and overflowing with the goo of ultimate success has been my AFL spectator story for as long as I can remember and it adds to my pleasure when I see how jealous you Handbaggers flogs are that you have to make up far-fetched bullshit like your VFA flags meaning squat just to pretend you exist in the same stratosphere.
You don't. Know your place minnows because you'll forever be beneath us in Victoria's football hierarchy. Be grateful we pay you any attention at all.
