Geelong rorting the system

[STPer18]

Mood on BigFooty.com has taken a huge downward spike, once again coinciding with an awesome Geelong win.

You're outraged over nothing. Try to simply enjoy the weekend.

It’s not outrage
If anything you should be.
I remember watching some great Geelong players through the 80’s - 90’s - there was one nicknamed god!
He’s wiped their contribution to who the club is now.

You are a supporter that most clubs turn away.
Even fellow fans would take offence to your absolute disrespect for past players and administration members that worked very hard to keep the club operating.
You need to remember back then there were no tv rights to keep clubs afloat.
An absolute disgrace of a supporter is what they would say and also Foff

Mate who cares. Yeah there’s nothing wrong with being proud of your history but what does it have to do with you if it happened half a century before you were around?

Okay I'll pretend to be angry if it helps you cope.

Do you care for the fate of humanity once you've passed away?

Effectively, the Cats gave up picks 17 and 38 in exchange for Smith and pick 45.
Is that a fair trade? For the 2nd Brownlow favourite?
Answer: No. It was a rort.

Was it also a rort when your mob handed us the pick for Max Holmes on a silver platter??

More than I do about what happens on a footy field.

all this melting because you tried to use your clubs results from the 1910's to compare them with the mighty Cats of the current day? Oh boy

Ever watched the 07 grand final ?
That’s nearly 20 years old now
Doesn’t count anymore

Yes I have actually, I have a feeling me watching it live was a more enjoyable experience than you pretending you watched the 1902 GF. I've gotta say your incredibly weak attempts at strawmans is giving me some second hand embarrassment.

Have you ever played local footy?
Ever looked into the history of the club, seen those old blokes who help out and wonder what they contributed?
Supporters do the same.

 

[MisterMarcus]

They can't get their story straight regarding Smith.

"Crap player, turnover mechant, toxic personality, would be our 7th best midfielder....they should have paid 3x top-5 draft picks for him".

They need to let it go.

Jordan Clark left the Cats in less-than-amicable circumstances, and we have to sit and watch him becoming player we knew he could be for another club.

But no Cats fan is openly wishing for him to get injured or commit suicide, or whatever horrific stuff the Doggies fans say on their board about Bailey Smith.

Still doesn’t count going by your logic though
Should rename the b and f trophy as well.
Who the fk is that old tosser it’s named after- he is dead now, irrelevant today

It doesn't count by my logic? My logic that watching my team win live is more enjoyable than looking at a book/article that tells me my team won 7 decades before I was born? More cringeworthy strawman arguments though, it's no wonder you're getting zero support here

Funny story, apparently Dempsey's father put together a highlights video of him playing for Carey Grammar(?) in the year we picked him in the rookie draft. Now he's dominating finals. So much for hiding!

that is indeed carey, the same unknown program that produced no name players such as nick daicos, matt rowell, noah anderson, andrew gaff, darcy moore, ed richards, jack coney, jack mcrae & tom mitchell!

lots of unknown plodders of course

Yes. But what does it have to do with me? I didn’t do it. They have more to be proud of than I do. I’m happy for them because they experienced it but I didn’t so I’m not going to sit around flag waving about the stuff I didn’t see, beyond ‘it’s great that we had those times but I wish I got to be a part of it and I’m happier for what i did get to see.’

I see fines, draft penalties and a handing back of the premiership cup in their future. It will all come out in the wash eventually.

 

[STPer18]

handing back of the premiership cup

How many?

 

[Yellow Feathers]

How many?

3 ish

 

[STPer18]

3 ish

So we'll still get to keep one?

 

[Mr Meow]

I look forward to the next audit.

Two. 2025 is loading.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

I look forward to the next audit.

Rumours has it that we've hired half cat to do the next audit.

I see a tinfoil had and someone not emotionally equipped to deal with the results of a sporting competition

 

[Boxhead_31]

I look forward to the next audit.

I know a good man at Morris Finance who could do it
