Geelong rorting the system

[Tiger V]

I find it weird how a Richmond supporter spends the majority of their time on this forum posting about Geelong.

and yet the page is full of Geelong posters, go figure

 

[tiger_tough]

If Noah Belta played for Geelong we'd have that covered up. Isn't that what the last 5 pages of Tyson Stengle angst is all about? Try keep the personal insults out of it instead of letting your emotions take over.

But he doesn't? There is no need to feed your obsession with RFC further here.

There's plenty of other threads you can (and you do) do that in

Projection.

Projection.

10 of your 15 most recent posts are about or involve Richmond, across 5 different threads, only 2 of which are actually related to RFC.....and they're both bay13 threads.

that's an unhealthy obsession you have there

Stalking across forums AND projection. Am I speaking with Mrs. Belta here?

Geelong posters posting on a Geelong post?

What a concept!

In direct response to obsessive posts by Richmond posters. Where have you been?

If i had to guess which team went on the other team's related posts more this would be solved in 5 seconds.
Thing is even oppo fans of team's not involved see it and point it out. It's embarassing. Richmond had a very great but very brief run at the top and when they fell off the cooked units of BigFooty decided to hang around posting dumbass shit and ruining threads not even related in any way shape or form to Richmond on a regular basis.

Hint: It's not Geelong supporters going through Richmond based threads being general pests.
There's a reason why we mock #cfl and #GeelongMediaMafia and posts like this get mocked by Cats supporters.

People genuinely believe these conspiracy theories. Richmond fans had a thread where they genuinely believed the AFL was trying to hold them back through the scheduling and rule changes LOL
It's beyond cooked.

We call this the "Trojan Horse" play.

You found our playbook.

Lol at other clubs who can't build wooden horses

Oppo fans, even Messi is trolling you now...

I just think Geelong have found a lot of ways to shadily pay their players under the table, and that the AFL doesn't really want to investigate and create a scandal. I mean I doubt Geelong are the only ones, but I think they are the best at it.

This thread: Geelong must be cheating the cap because look at all their superstar players

Other threads discussing the merits of teams: Geelong are a bunch of past-it oldies and no-name hacks.

You're just not seeing it pal, let me break it down for you.

That right there is the Cats. Now let's talk about the Cats. Can we talk about the Cats please, Mac? I've been dying to talk about the Cats with you all day, okay? Kardinia Park, this name keeps comin' up over and over and over again. Every day Kardinia's mail's getting sent back to me. Kardinia Park, Kardinia Park, I look in the mail, this whole box is Kardinia Park! So I say to myself I gotta find this place. I gotta go up to the wing, I gotta put this mail in the place's goddamn wing! Otherwise its never gonna get it, it's gonna keep coming back down here. So I go up to Kardinia Park wing and what do I find out, Mac, what do I find out? There is no wing. The wing does not exist, okay? .... This place is a goddamn ghost town.

Oh good lordies, I feel trolled [emoji43]‍[emoji94]

Who is Messi? Or did you mean, ‘messy’, as in Geelong’s cap situation lol?

Good to see AFL “integrity” is still providing a quality rug service to Kardinia since 2007.

The best thing is we've still got a tonne of cap space. Once Cameron moves off his current contract we might not have a single top 50 paid player in the comp.

Just wait for the melts when we bring in another couple of prime aged guns over the next year or two.

I'm sure that Bayley Smith won't help (rather hinder) your chances in 2025.

Yep I can't wait.
All it is, is the benefit of good list management over the long term.
Wellsy has built a castle and now we've got an absolute Sith lord on the rise in Andrew Mackie to defend it.

yep and jezza will take a pay cut and makes the call to his apprentice.

Do we get some sort of discount for plucking a former #1 pick from each expansion team? Like a buy-one-get-one-free?

 

[Pistol Night]

All these huge signings and shonky deals the past decade and the same amount of flags as povo clubs like the Dogs and Melbourne to show for it. Under performed really

All 2 of them.

Dangerfield and Cameron are it, really.

We got Ablett back after he’d played 17 seasons; still a decent player but not exactly prime Judd or, well, Ablett, was it.

And we’ve now got Bailey Smith who’s being treated like royalty: in reality he’s a kid coming off an ACL who’s never made an AA squad let alone a team.

Unless you’re going to toss up names like workmen such as Tuohy as being guns, it’s not exactly a roll call of stars we’ve drafted is it. It’s just two greats and a bunch of decent players, really.

Define "huge"?

In the past decade they got
1) Dangerfield who was a Moggs Creek boy, basically bled Geelong
2) Jezza who was a Pies supporter but wanted to live on a farm and raise his kid there.

That's it, the others who joined were either young kids from Geelong area like Tanner Bruhn or Ollie Henry who hadn't proven anything up to that point. Bruhn was getting plonked in the forward line out of position at GWS and Henry was playing VFL for half the season because he got replaced by Ash Johnson who himself got yeeted out back to VFL as well....

Or do you mean guys who were already over the hill/crapped on by oppo fans?
Isaac Smith (who while very good everyone said was old as dirt), Rhys Stanley, Jack Steven, Mitch Clark, Gary Rohan, Shaun Higgins, Luke Dahlhaus etc.

Wouldn't call any of the above list outside Danger nearly a decade ago and Jezza 5 years ago as 'Huge"
Majority of Cats insane ability has been on Wells and Mackie nailing internal hits on unknown or unheralded players.

Holmes, Blicavs, Stewart, Miers, Dempsey, Humphries, Close, Mannagh, Zuthrie, SDK, Atkins etc. etc.

None of the above were superstars coming in.

Too true, now they've signed LeBron and I hear Steve Smith is close to signing, it's getting absurd.
