3 recent flags but the Cats are nearly as broke as Brisbane. Why?

He was until Clark and Geelong formed a mutual bond. :D

Ask Tazsquawk what he thinks of Frawley.
Clark's "mutual bond" with Geelong was based largely on his misguided view that he was going to a premiership contender. Bit like Franklin & Sydney. :D



AFL is a video game to Clarko and he continually clocks it
Haha. Clarko is like one of those asi... erm 'persons of foreign appearance' we used to see at the arcades who'd stand there playing the same fighting game hour after hour beating anyone dumb enough to play them. FFS Clarko stop being selfish and give someone else a turn! :drunk::rainbow:

Now Colin Carter & Brian Cook are blaming the club's financial woes on the AFL's football department tax. Nevermind that the league has contributed millions towards upgrading Skilled Stadium.

It all seems fairly obvious to me - if you spend over X amount on your football department you get taxed amount Y. Geelong knew that upfront yet now its somehow the AFL's fault? This pissweak attitude really symbolizes why the club has returned to mediocrity. Once upon a time the Cats would've sucked it up & dealt with it without a peep...... then again that was back when they were getting packed houses to home games.


The funniest thing - they still need to find another $5m to sink into this bottomless pit called KardiniaPark! :$:$:$:$:$:$

Carter is all over the shop, he was talking about adding to the 'healthy debt' in December, then in January he does a 180 by rattling tins and asking supporters for money, now he's melting about luxury tax. I'm assuming he's the reason why Geelong are now a charity case.

It seems likely he keeps harping on about the tax -which only represents a tiny percentage of their $3.3m loss & $10m+ debt- to deflect attention from whatever else is going on at the club.

If Geelong needs to cough up another $5m for Kardinia Park it won't be long till they go cap in hand to their members. Again. "Voluntary" donation time!

don't address me minnow.

i feel ******* dirty
"The Cats have made it clear they were not happy about having to contribute $300,000 in 2015 despite recording a $3.3m loss, while financially strong clubs such as Collingwood, Hawthorn and West Coast had their contribution capped at $500,000."

Yep ... Shit-truck, broke club pouring money in to a stadium they don't even own!!! ... Smart business move that one huh!!! :thumbsu::thumbsu::thumbsu:
... On and off the field ... We'll always have the wood on your club ... it will never end

PS - Come at me with another one of your bullshit, cryptic responses .. You seem pretty good with your "selective reading" .... Because as we both know, I can shred any argument you have ;)

What this photo really captures is the general stupidity of Geelong supporters. Here we are at a Red light and because you can't get through the intersection you feel he has cut you off.
Lucky the Hawks supporter is more intelligent than you and has prevented you from a potential accident.

Thanks for you concern, the Geelong Football Club will be fine.

And the only certainty for the future is that you and your fellow supporters will be Class A wankers for the rest of your lives, no matter the fortunes of either of our clubs.
