All good.I was replying to the bloke blaming our woes on the likes of Duncan who was injured a quarter into our finals campaign
B grade overrated footballer and always has been.
Guthrie is another step below.
This is a major reason why Geelong do sweet fu*k all in September.
Blicavs, Duncan, Tuohy, Stanley, Henderson, Guthrie, Murdoch, Motlop, S.Selwood, Menegola, lol and you honestly wonder why we are just not good enough!
sorry I wasn't specific enough, the rumour is that Joel pushed Josh out so that Scott could get more minutes in his preferred position.Yes yes I’m delusional because one of our most reliable players is somehow being blamed for our finals shortcomings and another recruit was allegedly hired purely on the whim of the captain
No other club has been labeled “flag favorite” throughout so many seasons end on end in home and away games, for zero result when the real stuff starts.Should be why aren’t the 17 clubs who don’t win the flag good enough

Now 3-8 in finals since the 2011 flag.
For a club who's constantly up there and has had 4x top 4 finishes in those 6 years (a great achievement), it's a sobering record. No grand finals.
What is going on there? Are they simply marking time and middling: not good enough to truly challenge and not regenerating either?
Do they need a change in philosophy?
nope, ruck, wing, wing what a fooking joke of a coach the cats haveHas Blicavs ever played in defence - his best position - in September?
Does this mean he can’t make a comment? Pretty sure Bunk is well aware of his own club’s deficiencies but that shouldn’t mean he can’t comment on others.Funny, coming from a supporter of a team who haven't won a finals game since 2005.
We have won three premierships in that time.
Was a weird passage of play, esp Danger taking 25 sec to kick a goal from the goal square. Guess he was rubbing it in to the Tigers faces, poked the bear perhaps, dunno. No evidence that there is much good feeling between the clubs at the best of times.

Mate, just pull your head in. Look at the title of this thread. You’re the one going off topic here with your insults. We are discussing Geelong, not Essendon or any other team. Plenty of other threads discussing other teams if you wish to comment on them.Maybe he shouldn't write posts that mock another team, when his own team has been worse in finals in recent times.
Why are you defending him? What, are you his boyfriend or something?
If you're implying our coach is a moron... You'd be right.

sorry I wasn't specific enough, the rumour is that Joel pushed Josh out so that Scott could get more minutes in his preferred position.
Josh went on to be an incredible contributor to 2 flags at another club (defeating Geelong in both those final series), while Scott barely played again anyway.
The assymetry in that trade outcome came to an absolute crescendo last week, but it seems to have been largely forgotten.
No he didn't.
It was a ludicrous recruitment.
He was in rehab when Geelong came a knocking.
When he was fit, short period of time mind you, he was bloody terrible. Arguably the worst user of the football Geelong has had since David Clarke Jnr.
Supposedly a terrific tagger but he was shown up in most of them. He had to play though, Geelong didn't want to look like fools if he sat out and played VFL as he should have from the beginning.
Once more, you delusion over everything Geelong Cats is coming to the forefront.
You should tell me how good of a draft coup it was to snag Hamish McIntosh.

The weird thing is, Joel publicly stated on the Monday that Caddy was a required player at Geelong. There was no equivocation. Three days later he was gone. I'm not sure whether it was to give Scott Selwood midfield time, he was already there.
It's certainly not true that Caddy was a superstar at Geelong; but he wasn't crap either. He played some good footy and was in our best team. More importantly, he was under contract for another year. Why they decided seemingly on a whim to get rid of him is still mystifying. He looked to be struggling early this season but managed to reinvent himself.
He and Richmond have done very well from that deal, there's no escaping that.
So Blicavs should only ever play in defence?
What if Blicavs played defence, and Lynch still kicked five on him? Should we move him, since that would mean not playing him in defence.
The Blicavs move isn't the reason we lost.
But that is not even the problem. Scott tried something, it didn't work, that is ok. The problem is he persisted with it in the final against Collingwood and was rightly criticised for it.
But even that is not the problem. After refusing to admit he was wrong, and after further refusing he screwed up again in the Collingwood final, he put Blicavs on a wing out of pure pigheadedness instead of putting him back in defence.
That is the problem. Scott refuses to accept ever that he might have made a mistake. And every single he gets accursed of screwing up he blames everyone but himself - "we have a whole coaching team, it was a joint decision", "players didn't execute", "why can't we play at Kardinia" - or he doubles down and either repeats the mistake or worse compounds it by making another one (Blicavs to the wing).
His pigheadedness is hurting Geelong.
