Geelong rorting the system

[The Unforgiven]

I would say Armstrong Creek is not heaps good

It's the Mawson Lakes of Geelong. Both built on a swamp.

What’s another billion ? They already spent that much and it’s still no good

It’s the Geelong way , get everything for free , pay for nothing , and yet you still can’t win

Is 4 a bigger number than 3?

I know your maths is about as good as Jack Newton when he counts past 5 using his fingers but I’m hoping you can help me.

Yes, when you play 47 finals in a century and you win more of them than you lose, it does get hard to keep track. So it’s understandable that someone as breathtakingly inept at actually doing research as you would be able to get their head around facts. But it seems that whoever is paying for our stadium, we win there, and we win elsewhere as well. Highlighted by our record away from there, too.

None against Richmond mate

We own you

Probably why you’re still bleating about all this stuff. And Tom Stewart’s AA blazers. Including one he didn’t even get.

Man, this thread really reminds me of the cope WCE supporters had in '06/'07

 

[joe444]

Turns out it was everybody else doing it! Geelong were just being upfront about it. Priceless.

Looks like Cotton-On left the Dye-Pack in the Money-Bag drop this week.

One of the best posts on bigfooty, ever.

I hear Geelong are Going to Get the Following Players.

• Tom De Koning
• Zak Butters
• Clayton Oliver
• Matt Rowell
• Harley Reid
• Jamarra Ugle-Hagan
• Aaron Cadman

Question is Where do They find the Cap Space and Draft Capital to Land all of Them?

Cap Space you ask? I'm guessing they will be part time footballers and employees of one or more of the following:

Handy off-season that.

Wouldn't any rorting be done by bitcoin in this day and age?

Still a fair way under the Cap with that group.

Apparently Bont will be on a Deakin Sports Science, err, scholarship for the next 3 years.

Will play with the Cats as a work experience "placement" condition of said educational arrangement.

Should tell Andy Dillon to get the Geelong Football Club to hand over the PayPal accounts as well!

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Got to be a bit stupid to think one club would get them all.
Cal Twomey says Hawthorn are after most on that list.

Likelihood is getting 1-2 on the list.

We just won the premiership three years ago and have basically been in the finals every year for the last two decades.....but we still can't win?

can't beat richmond in a final that's for sure

No amount of rorting can change that

Richmond and finals is an oxymoron these days.

 

[RPCB]

Geelong and Richmond supporters arguing about finals and flags is the most elitist thing I have ever read on BigFooty.

Your clubs have won 4 and 3 flags respectively in the last 18 years.

Not really any of your concern most of the time though, is it.

Get back to your Napoleon Dynamite Time Machine and see if they’ll reverse the Tom Lynch goal review

 

[JimmyBC]

Geelong and rorting the system go together like peas and carrots

 

[cryptor]

Has the former Geelong COO finished auditing the player payments made during his tenure there yet? Wouldn't have thought it would take so long given he should be familiar with the numbers.

Investigated about as much as Dank and The Weapon at Geelong.

That's an awful lot for the "In Tray"
On the other end,
I hear TB is soon to be managing the first ever Cotton On outlet in Majorca.

 

[FreddyTwoShoes]

I can sort of understand the saltiness after a big win, but we lost badly on the weekend.
What gives?

You don't have to like it, but the Geelong Football Club's adherance to the systems in place is the cleanest in the comp at the minute. Time for the lesser clubs to open their doors like the most successful club of the 21st century have.
