Banter Geelong V Richmond - GO!

[Wosh]

In the interests of keeping your back and forth shite fights out of match threads so normal people can talk.

Keep it clean and above the shorts
Off topic rubbish clogging up match threads will be moved here, knock yourselves out.

 

[Mr Meow]

Falcon has admitted he's never played a game in his life. Just a bit of lunchtime kick-to-kick at school with fellow students. But he feels thats just like the real thing

Meteoric Rise at least has better credentials than that - rumoured to dominate in the under 90s league at his retirement village.

Mate, I am 58 and yes, that is old bordering on ancient, let's get that out there right off the bat.

Your trouble is, I am still running absolute rings around you. Getting shown up by an old campaigner. Probably kick your arse in a blue too.

 

[Ross]

How many of those ancient black and white TV flags would you give up to see a Geelong spoon?

All 6 of yours.

I nailed the impression of you didn’t I?
Hit a nerve

You're wasted here. Hopefully your nephew gets some of your hilarious Meteoric Ramblings on TikTok or whatever before he wheels you to the old folk's home. He might just need to dial down the meds first so your fantasies aren't too delusional.

That probably passes as classic comedy where you come from. If aywhere could be that boring.

Not really, more like a sad reality. You've declined over the past couple of years. Just a babbling mess now reduced to "that's not funny, you've got NO BANTZ!". At least you've maintained an impeccable cringe aura.

You are wrong, I have always been just as bad as I am now. You just idolised me before for some reason, felt weird.

Nah you just don't have the same gusto. The delusions were always there but performance is dropping. Perfectly normal for a 68 year old.

Well at least I haven't noticed any decline in your performance. You were a boring negative poster with zero charisma and even less sense of humour from the outset. Was pretty hard to go backwards from there.

 

[Grrr]

Speaking of funny finals performances, for me the funniest would have to be the job Rance did/tried to do on Mason Cox in the '18 Prelim. Seeing a seven foot yank who'd only just taken up the sport tear apart a supposed AA quality defender to that extent had me giggling. The crowd cheering USA was just the cherry on top.

At least Mooney won us the '09 GF and mentored a young Hawkins through the '11 finals series culminating in his explosion come GF day. Meanwhile Rance unfortunately got hurt the next season and then surprisingly retired, but part of you does wonder if he lacked the mental strength of C. Mooney to bounce back after a forgetful finals performances, and his early retirement was somehow related to that fateful day when the big Yank took him apart? I guess we'll never know.

David Hale 8 goals against Scarlet and co.

David Hale 8 goals against Scarlet and co.

Unfortunately they needed him to kick 14 in order to beat us that day.

 

[Saints2028onwards]

Learn to count.

13 > 10

AFL - Cats 4, Tigers 3

AFL - Cats 4, Tigers 3

That's an arbitrary time frame. Let me choose a better one:

18 team era - Tigers 3, Cats 1

 

[PetterdHoisted]

Richmond won a dynasty at Geelong’s expense.

A dynasty.

1967, 1995, Ottens, etc. don’t come close, all the rest is just noise.

Let’s talk about the future.

So we keep hearing, but you didn’t, did you. You won a flag, at our expense.

You won another one against a team who beat us for fun whenever they travel to Victoria, and you won another one against a team who butt-f**ked us in a preliminary final so you didn’t really, did you.

You won a flag at our expense.

We launched our most successful period as a club off the back of beating you by 28 goals so we’re happy enough.

You would of won the 2019 flag if you got through in the prelim. I would say Richmond got in the way of two flags for the Cats.

2017 I would agree you were miles off both Adelaide and the Tigs going by the finals smashings delivered by both clubs.

Would we? The Giants beat us at Kardinia Park that year, so, yeah. Not sure they would have been particularly predisposed to just automatically turning their toes up against us.

Hardly arbitrary. AFL premierships.
AFL started 1990 Pretty simple.

Nothing changed but the branding. So yeah it is very arbitrary.

18 teams makes more sense. Or we can stick to 13-10 and not choose arbitrary timeframes to suit narratives.

Wouldn’t really matter if you made it from when they brought in 4 interstate, 5 interstate, or 6, sides to make it a national competition. The only manipulation on that front that you can swing is that in the period that there has ONLY been 8 interstate sides the Tigers have won more.

Come now PB, by the time the Giants got to the GF after their hard fought win against Collingwood in driving rain in the Prelim they were knackered.

I think we all know if the Cats had beaten the Tigers in their Prelim, they most likely would have gone on to win the flag. You did finish on top of the H&A ladder that year so you must have been a fair side.

I prefer no manipulation and we can leave it at 13-10. I think we can all agree 10+ is a pretty good effort anyway.
