Bulldogs 2016 is doing a Bradbury.
Hawks in 2008 as much as people try to rewrite history were no Bradbury.

Why do you say the Bulldogs 2016 flag was "doing a Bradbury?" The Dogs played 4 weeks of the most determined, relentless football ever. They just would not be denied. There was also 2 interstate trips for them in that finals campaign. They thoroughly deserved their flag.

I've always thought the term "doing a Bradbury" is disrespectful to Steven Bradbury anyway. He won the gold medal fair and square. He was first over the finish line and that's all that matters.

Agree with the bulldogs bit.

On the second bit, I don’t think of “doing a Bradbury” as being disrespectful.
SB did an incredible job of competing hard over many years to put himself into the Olympic final.
From there, he needed every other finalist to literally fall over for him to win. That’s what “doing a Bradbury” is.
Giving himself the opportunity was the incredibly impressive bit. All credit to him 👍

I've always called it "doing a Steven". Unfortunately it has lead to every Steve I know not being happy with me.

Serious question I’ve always wondered and this is as good a time as any to ask - do you manually type go catters out on every post or is it automated?

Tom Harley to AFL rort, it never ends. How can anyone enjoy supporting a rorting club?

You spent, presumably, a lot of your pre-2017 life supporting a team that won about as regularly as the Zimbabwe cricket side, and somehow managed.

It’s a lot easier when you are actually decent.

By the way, you know we didn’t actually appoint him, and he hasn’t been with Geelong since before anyone at Geelong now was there, aside from our current recruitment manager? So what have we rorted now? Isn’t it the Swans who are guilty of this one? What about the Lions who have also been on the gravy train this week?

Player makes “joke” about taking drugs… have dinner.
Coach “incites riot” by pretending to be a plane … $20k fine.
Seems about right.

AFL rort it for the cats to rort it this is the thing.
AFL would love to gift them a flag 2025 and give Scott one more flag on his way out the door mark my words.
Methinks 2026 the cliff is then all theirs.
But 2025 is its last shot at the flag and the AFL will make sure they win one for good measure.
With Pies i think they can go again 2026 they have a great system and process.
cats will be handed one more this year as said just for good measure and piss off the rest of the comp along with it.
 
thing is they dont have a hell of alot of supporters or members at all.
always seam to have empty seats at gmhba and was at pies cats game mcg i had to look hard to see any fans that werent in the cheer squad behind the goals.
they dont have much of a following outside geelong either.
kind of the gmhba looking like a waste of a venue.
why bother with the place
offers nothing anyway
tax paid dont forget

Uhh, you'll be disappointed when you work out that Harley's gone to head office for the same reason Swann did, and it isn't to help Geelong get a leg up...

Oh for goodness sake take the hat off.

league boss tells one of competition’s most marketable players to pull his head in and be careful.

You don't think having the League CEO drive to a player's house to discuss his behaviour and 'marketability' is a bit weird?

Isn't that what he has a manager and coach are for?

A lot of other 'marketable' players will be expecting a home visit from Dillon, based on this.

He'll be a busy boy!
