Geelong rorting the system

[Richmond Flats]

Is anyone surprised? Dodgy club with zero morals whatsoever. They’ve gotten away with cheating since they sourced Dank drugs, had Weapon and the Bomber at their club during their golden years (coincidentally right before they went to Essendon) and now all this salary cap cheating being swept under the rug.

Our Golden years haven't ended.

I think you direct your contempt to the AFL

Always get confused as to why Richmond supporters hate on Geelong so much, considering they beat them in the Covid cup.

I could understand if the roles were reversed, or is it still a handover from Ottens leaving?

I can't recall the exact number but from about the mid 1980s to mid 2010s Geelong won 30+ something games and Richmond about 6, or at least than 10, in that period. And many of those wins were shellackings, beltings, thrashings, whatever you wanna call them... of the highest of order, Richmond have been Geelong's bunnies so to speak. The most famous/infamous that 200+ annihilation in 2007 before Geelong went on a 20 something winning streak.

It's why despite their recent success they will always be Bitchmond to me, they have always being an irrelevance to me and nothing more than a much needed percentage booster whenever I looked them up in the fixture. The toothless Tiggers bottom out year after year and when they finally get it right in drafting quality players after decades of mediocrity they wanna act as if Geelong being a bottom feeder and finishing at the bottom of the ladder would have been preferable than actually contending for flags without needing to rely on handouts in the draft like they have for years on end.

I don't get why so many Geelong supporters are triggered by these insufferable insecure idiots, I have just have contempt, disdain and pity for the Richmond Football Club in general despite their recent tanking assisted success.

Pretty weird for them to have a hang-up from things well over a decade ago that were due to their club being pure horseshit but here we are, I guess

You'd think 3 flags, including one over Geelong, would've helped them move on.

Guess not.

Geelong taking pick 2 and LDU as compo.

Sounds fair.

 

[Noidnadroj]

Never forget Steven Motlop getting Geelong a FRP compo despite not being named in the top 40 highest paid AFL players.

Tom Rockliff in that same free agency period got the same compo and was in that list.

If forgotten about that one. Motlop signs a 4-year deal worth about $2m and gets FRP compo, Brandon Ellis signs a 5-year deal on about $2.5m and Richmond gets 2nd round compo.

Not Geelong’s fault that one, but more evidence of how having ex-commissioners as President helps deliver the goods.

Such strong words for something you find Irrelevant. You seem very triggered by the bitchmond football club. Your hatred brings me joy.

Stay strong buddy, love you

You confused? Well I never! Nothing to do with Ottens lol.

Its all over Geelong having the wood over the tiges for a long time. There were no problems. Geelong supporters felt it was their right to keep humiliating the tiges during the seasons as Richmond are shit.

Come 2017, Tigers start to come good, with Dusty overtaking Danger = Tears from Geelong supporters

Same year Tiges beat Cats in Qualifying final = More tears and complaints that Richmond fans scared them at that game being too loud. lmao.

2019, Tiges beat Cats in Prelim final = Yep, you guessed it, more tears.

Then the 2020 grand final was the the one that pushed them just too far. Geelong always get embarrassed by Richmond in games that matter. finals. Hence their constant sooking over Richmond lately. Then the constant leg ups they get from the AFL. Such an entitled club and supporter base.

I'm confused though.

It always seems like Richmond fans having a massive sook about Geelong whenever they can, Geelong supporters never really seem to talk about Richmond at all, except in response.

It may feel that way from a Richmond PoV bit it's not that way for anyone else.

Geelong supporters don't talk about richmond? You miss that Geelong supporters hate essay about the tiges?

The one in response to my question where is was calmly explained from their perspective?

'Hate essay'. LMFAO.

You blokes obsess over Geelong every time they're mentioned, lol.

It amazes me that you're this oblivious to it.

Using the words bitch, disdain, contempt, insufferable insecure idiots. I wouldn't say that's calm. You probably think Mein Kampf is light reading

richmond fans are head****ed by geelong. not surprising that they're obsessed over them.

Probably asking the wrong person that question

 

[MauroFogheri]

I run into Geelong supporters every day where I live (E Ballarat) and there's a real odour

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Richmond people need to lose the hate boner for Hocking and Geelong. They've done nothing to warrant such behaviour.

My hate boner is flaccid and full of love for Geelong. I'm just asking questions about Chris Scott's job with a club sponsor, as are other supporters of other clubs.

 

[Richmond Flats]

Agree. I love Geelong. Kicking their arse on the way to three flags was beautiful.

Now knowing we did it while they were salary cap cheating makes it all the more sweeter!

This is COVID Cooker level stuff

On the contrary winning those flags has given Tigger supporters the courage to release all that decades long built up and pent up frustration against Geelong.

If Richmond hadn’t had that recent little run of success they would still be quite and respectful as a mouse with their tails between their legs like they’ve always been between the mid 1980s and mid 2010s.

Similar to how the Spatondatthang boys last year all of a sudden were up and about talking trash about Geelong once again after almost a decade of barely hearing a pip from them that was remotely troll like given how mediocre Hawthorn have been since around 2017.

The Darling Buds didn’t have the gumption to run their mouth with abandon until mid 2024 and even then they had to momentarily quieten down because they were mercilessly flogged and brought back down to Earth with a thud at Kardinia Park late in the season.

I find this type of baseless unsubstantiated assertions absolutely hilarious, it exemplifies how desperate the Tigger supporters are to downplay any success Geelong has achieved to sleep better at night.

It’s a remarkable cognitive dissonance since many Tigger supporters on BF go on about how Richmond are a real big club with 1 billion fans every chance they get unlike Geelong that are insignificant minnows.

Yet in their skewed perception of the world, the AFL head honchos are going out of their way to assist the minnow in achieving success at the expense of big powerhouse like Richmond that can make them millions more; the sheer stupidity of this line of thinking is staggering.

They try to rationalise it by claiming that Hocking, Gerard Whateley, the Geelong Mafia, etc, etc, etc… somehow interfere with the how the AFL is run to help Geelong succeed.

I find more objectionable the lame pathetic boastfulness that Richmond beat a Geelong team in finals between 2017 and 2020 that has been denied Top 10 picks for 20 years or so.

In their bizarre warped view of the world, it is better to be a bottom feeder like the Gold Coast that has avoided losing in finals despite receiving countless Top 10 draft since they came into the competition because they’re incompetently run both at the administrative and coaching level and never make it to September, than it is to somehow be a contender in spite of not having access to the best young talent in the land for 20 years or so.

Geelong’s continued consistent and constant success deserves praise given the fact that Geelong has accomplished this without relying on bottoming out and sticking their hands out for a plethora of Top 10 picks delivered on silver platter just for being a mediocrely run club like the Tiggers.
