Geelong rorting the system

[PhatBoy]

That is so big of you PB, cosidering we more than doubled your score.

Who cares. You smacked us.

 

[Meteoric Rise]

Who cares. You smacked us.

That's what I just said.

 

[PhatBoy]

That's what I just said.

Yeah I know. You say a lot of things, many of them over and over

 

[HairyO]

There's no rules about what the shape has to be but it is 2024 and it's laughable Geelong think their ground is acceptable in the modern era.

I’d say we comply pretty well

Edit: apologies that was our ‘before’ photo.

Here’s our drastically different ‘after’ one which by my reckoning actually has one slightly WIDER wing, while one end has been brought in a few metres for a grandstand which has made the pockets a bit squarer. Wow. Huge mutations Aristotle.

Wow, a tidy net profit this year largely thanks to the wonderful Kardinia Park and the new Joel Selwood Stand. Thank you Melburnians.

 

[Meteoric Rise]

Lol, I see what you did there.

You are proposing to fix the problem of me repeating myself....by you repeating me instead.

It is novel, I will give you that.

I don’t think an oval shape has one section which is straight like Pork Barrel Park

 

[PhatBoy]

And what proximity to an oval would you say the MCG is, pray tell

 

[STPer18]

Fun fact: Kardinia Park is now a larger capacity stadium than the Brisbane Cricket Ground aka the Gabba.

The former recently receiving upgrades, most notably The Joel Selwood Stand, whereas the latter had to have its capacity reduced due to modern scoreboards and corporate facilities cutting into its seating areas.

 

[Giant Pete]

I’m not sure why people bang on about KP as home ground advantage… we find it pretty easy to play there.

 

[Mr Meow]

Is that better or worse than Gary Rohan cheating on his wife and the memory of his dead baby on Geelong's dime? Just to b clear.

I wasn't even aware Rohan was coach - smart pick up!

 

[Del80659]

Mature response.

I'm guessing your only "evidence" will end up being the debunked association with Robinson, that we've been cleared by ASADA in relation to.

the proof is in the pudding

 

[dazbroncos]

Again with all due respect, that’s not proof that he gave up anything. He ‘pledged’ that he would, but did he actually follow through? You don’t know for certain. You’ve read a couple of articles and because it makes Geelong look good you automatically believe it. And if you take anything the AFL says as gospel, more fool you.

So Dusty pledged not to fail drug tests and hang out with convicted killers but did he?

AM I doing it right?

GO Catters

Good point. As a player Rohan was likely more of a role model for young kids.

It was a coaches comparison. You'll get there eventually but I'm here to help until it clicks for you.

Where was it stated that it was confined to coaches? Please highlight.

But if you want to keep it to coaches was Dimma’s consensual relationship on Richmond’s dime better or worse than Bomber Thompson on the crack pipe on Geelong’s dime? I guess difference being Dimma might have got active in the back seat of car while Bomber “fell asleep” in one.

Personally I’d like to see an end to attacks on individuals based on their personal lives, but I won’t let it slide when some peanut thinks he’s landed a “gotcha” comment.

 

[STPer18]

Salary cap cheating, drug cheating, soft cap cheating, home ground cheating, farmland cheating champions.

Mindbreak status? Broken beyond repair.

It was others who brought Scott's ethics into it. You know how to read.

If you’re going to use an expression get it right. Or are you saying the proof was buried in the pudding?

 

[FootyLad0]

I’m not sure why people bang on about KP as home ground advantage… we find it pretty easy to play there.

Cause then they would have to come to terms with the fact that maybe just maybe their team wasn't good enough.

GWS and Freo can do it consistently, don't see why a patch of grass seems to befuddle supposed "Big" clubs.

“personally I’d like to see an end to attacks on individuals personal lives, but in the meantime I’m going to attack individuals personal lives”. I can’t believe this website is free.

....the players are the pudding...

To be honest it’s hard to rort a system when it’s literally handed to you on a silver platter.
