Geelong rorting the system

look at these cats fans getting upset when I pop up they clearly remember everything I've posted about their club which is just gorgeous very heartwarming for me
See, you're just never far away from a meltdown when the word "Geelong" or "Cats" is involved.

Heart-warming like that Qualifying Final, I guess? Or is this still a 2007 thing.
 
So bad at winning that they've won more games than pretty much any club in the AFL era (maybe you can crunch the data for me to confirm).

Only one other clubs has won 4 flags since 2007 so I'd say recent history looks pretty solid overall.

Best to just cry about perceived conspiracies rather than trying to dispute success itself.
the best at cheating, but still the worst at winning finals

Its a weird combination that defines Geelong , the asterix club .

asterixes do not define success

They prove failure

Unless you’ve started speaking French- which I doubt as your command of English is sub-par at best - your understanding of what constitutes an actual word is a failure.

At any rate, go and speak your philosophy to people to whom this applies.

Teams who win comps in 17 game seasons played over 16 minute quarters in hubs, for instance.

Are we the worst at winning finals in that time? I’d say 3rd best, is a fair way removed from ‘worst.’

That seems an interesting idea.

We’ve won 24 and lost 19. Not bad for the worst finals team, winning at 56 per cent.

Port Adelaide: 8-10. They win at 44 per cent.
Sydney: 16-17: they win at 48 per cent.
Brisbane: 10-8: they win at 55 per cent
Melbourne: 5-5: they win at 50 per cent
Collingwood: 18-14-1: they win at 54 per cent
WCE: 9-10: they win at 47 per cent
Bulldogs: 11-12: they win at 48 per cent.
GWS: 9-9: they win at 50 per cent.
Fremantle: 6-7. They win at 46 per cent.



That’s just from who I can be f**ked posting but fair to say I think our percentage is a bit higher than Essendon’s and the Suns’ and I’d say we probably have the Roos covered as well wouldn’t you say Blaisee old friend? None of the others break 50 per cent aside from your team and Hawthorn who both are around the 60 per cent mark. Fair to say Hawthorn with a significantly higher sample size. As happens when you aren’t consistently losing elimination finals.

Remember those times when our teachers said we wouldn’t always have calculators in our pockets or information at our fingertips? They didn’t quite get that right, did they. Much like most - well, all - of your posts.

Any time you would like to have an attempt at posting something factual, by all means feel free to try.

Our next RORT sorted already. We've clocked AFL and are now it's puppet master.

Along with the official appointment of McCabe, current Director Lyndsay Sharp becomes Vice President of the Geelong Football Club.

With more than 35 years’ experience in journalism, marketing and public relations, Sharp is a well-known local in the region with businesses Jack Rabbit Vineyard, Flying Brick Cider Co, Leura Park Estate and Curlewis Golf Club.

She is also a former Board Member of Visit Victoria and has been a Director on Geelong's board since December 2021.

"I’m thrilled to be appointed to Vice President of the Geelong Football Club, a well-respected organisation that has the community at the centre of its DNA," Sharp said

Free booze and golf for the boys sorted.

Uh oh! Must be a key cog in the #GeelongMediaMafia
 
Notice how its always MCG tenant fanbases that piss and moan about this stuff while everyone else stays silent?

The insecurities are off the chart.
Little old Geelong stirring up the rusted on "Big 4" fanbases because someone else dare cut into their entitled piece of the pie that they've hogged forever.

Those clubs only held the VFL/AFL hostage with talent zoning and father/son bullshit for eons...when one of the "other Vic clubs" rises through the ranks to be successful they will point fingers and do anything they can to deny healthy competition.

I mean just look at this whinge for example

Tigers fans constantly invading Cats threads to sook.

Pies never playing at Kardinia

Imagine just for a second that ANY other professional team sports competition around the World didn't make the biggest clubs travel any and everywhere to play. How pissweak is that! If you want to be the best you should want to win anywhere at any time. And lets not point the finger too much on salary caps, especially when we know every single team in the comp is doing what they can to win.

It is a business first

You wished for that drug culture?

What a truly bizarre thing to do, but I fail to see the comparison.

I didn't wish for shit.

But everyone wanted to stick the boots into WC for "our" problem. Not many people wanted to admit the reality that drugs are rife in the AFL and still are.

I would LOL if Geelong got done for cheating Carlton style but am under no illusions that Geelong are bad and 17 other clubs are squeaky clean.

"Bit like the 2000s drug culture, be careful what you wish for"

I'm sure you tried to make a point there, but really got muddled up along the way.

You got huge on the peptides before anyone knew what was going and got a bit of a dynasty going. Got rules changed to make it easier for you to compete. You are now in the boutique ground cycle of inflated ladder position and then found out finals.
