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

Thats a shame. They must have the rampid possum problem now in check (congrats!)

I guess its a shame the little Tiges are reliant on the whims of the Melbourne City Council (and the Richmond Cricket Club) to protect their cherished changing rooms :)
We booted the cricket club years ago and have facilities the envy of the league in our traditional home. Hawthorn paid millions for a tip in the arse end of Melbourne

Does Richmond own Punt Road? Thought not...

How much of Richmond's facilities is due to the chronic pork barrelling by an ailing (and for that matter altogether shit) federal government looking for something to detract themselves from leadership changes...I mean Richmond's history with the indigenous community. Talk about a lauff

Given the Tiges have rattled 4 times inside 25 years how will they sustain these facilities? Richmond is natually quite a poor club afterall

Are you always this daft or is today a special occasion?
Geelong are broke, have glory be all members, cant fill their tinpot stadium and regularly get dwarfed by Collingwood and Hawthorn when they shift home games to the larger ground. The question needs to be asked given the Cats (relatively) successful decade

Have 30% of our fans ever tried to vote us out of existence?

Thought not. Piss off minnow

You even have a thread on your shitty board complaining why you are not as big or popular as Hawthorn :)
Which says everything that needs to be said about Geelong & its deranged supporters.

Never in BigFooty history -even during our shitty Schwab/Judge years- has a thread bemoaning why the Hawks can't be as successful as the Cats appeared on the Hawthorn board. Is that because our obsession with Geelong pales in comparison to their obsession with us or because they've never in our lifetimes been a bigger & more popular club than ours?

Handbaggers need to stop comparing Geelong to Hawthorn for the sake of their health because they're doing themselves permanent harm, just look at Nakia.

Unfortunately they dont sign up for memberships, rock up to games and kick the bucket and help the bottom line...in all likliehood they dont even exist (well the non meth heads and redundant factory workers anyway)

Its why Hawthorn dwarf Geelong in every facet really :)

Why do Geelong have such a small fan base. Why do Geelong fans have three threads on their very own club board complaining about their lack if direction, piss poor fan base and cooked finances?
I'd say our fan base (excluding paid members) is bigger than hawthorns.
Cooked finances lol. You might need to have a closer look and you'll see why we lost 3.3 it's all accounted for. When you have a true place to call your own and you redevelop it, it costs money. Dingley barely counts, you'll ditch that in 20 years anyway. Either when the new facility sinks into the chemical cesspit or when your team ditches it's Melbourne fans for tassie full time.
Without tassie your club would be up shit creek without a paddle.

So you keep saying. :rolleyes:

You should be content with a 2nd or 3rd best dynasty rather than repeating yourself ad nauseam as a means to try and forget this 'fact'.

Don't act so surprised.. Half your supporters are kids on the bandwagon. Most of your supporters from the 80s onwards would be bandwagoners.
Do you realise who you're replying too? Fits the description in your post... even confirmed it himself which is awkward for him as he was critical of 'fairweather' supporters a little earlier. :oops:

It's why his posting is so fascinating.

Most Hawthorn supporters alive would be bandwagoners by your weak definition. It's not our fault we've been successful for so long.
