Prediction Just give Gold Coast the next 5 flags and be done with it

[ReturningHawk]

Someone let 2015 GWS know they need to pick up their 5 flags

You’d think it was the first time Gold Coast had smashed Geelong up north.

They are looking really good. Good enough away from home in finals? Let’s see

In 2015 GWS were supposed to win the next 5 flags.

10. ****ing liars.

Geez "Opening Round" (whatever that is) is really fun for the northern staters eh??

It’s ok, you’re safe from those evil planes again

 

[kreglze]

Was the AFLs objective in this whole thing to turn the footy state supporters against the Northern teams?

Cause bravo it's worked

There is your new State of Origin team.

The Nepos, to play against VIC, SA and WA.

Giving a team endless access to discounted elite talent eventually works

Fan of a team that doesn’t travel and gets home ground GF no matter what grabs pearls after team that has done diddly for 15 years wins 1 game

 

[RUNVS]

Its ****ed, their best players are all 25 and under too

They don't have the under the table payments that Geelong had to keep their list together though.

Also Geelong in 2026 is not the same team as a few years ago, especially with Cameron out. Beating them in 2026 is not the same as beating them from 3 or 4 years ago. Their 2022 team would smash their 2026 team.

At least it will be easier to get GF tickets

You play a home city grand final where you don’t have to mortgage your house to get to it.
Your comment ain’t the win you think it is.

Any melb clubs complaining about the Gold coast academy access is ridiculous and quite frankly embarrassing. Melbourne clubs have father son (gold coast don't get), nga access (a bigger rort than the northern states academy) and the bigger draw for free agents.

Thank you…excellent summary

The only thing I’d add is that Gold Coast literally played a finals match for the first time in their history last year so perhaps talks of dynasties are a little premature

 

[Colonial]

Gold Coast supporters enjoy it. Melts this good don’t come around too often.

Going off history. Every decade or so.

 

[beatnik]

The VFL mind simply cannot comprehend what is to come.

Fatih is not enough, the VFL supporters must know it. Knowing is not enough, the VFL supporters must see it.

Stay tuned.

“You tell 'em Cody Curtin’s coming! And Hell's coming with him you hear! Hell's coming with him!”

Stephen Silvagni list managed them into indefinite non-contention.

Easily the worst in the business at taking good lists and butchering them.

Fun fact - Brisbane have never won a match in Opening Round.

High quality melt from OP tho. No surprise to find out OP is a Carlton fan.

Remember OP also gave us this hilarity. They have a long history of painfully stupid takes.

Thread 'How do you pass the time waiting for September?'

Jul 5, 2024

When your team is dominating, clearly the best in the business, a lock for a dream September run, and all the games between now and September feel like dead rubbers, how do you stay interested in footy?

I'm feeling like one of my hobbies has been taken away. Football just seems a touch boring. It's all just so predictable. Doesn't seem to matter who, what or where, the results just all seem to go the same way.

I'd like to hear from the Geelong fans about how they felt in their premiership window. Richmond fans too. And maybe Essendon fans if they can remember what it was like in 2000...

They didn't have Hardwick as senior coach. Both list have a lot of 1st rounders but GCS have more experience top end talents.

Well they admit they are Nuffies

They spelt it wrong on the poster.

 

[M Malice]

Lions much more likely, already 2 flags into their 5Peat.

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Changing the rules now just makes the problem worse not better also. The next 3 years is looking like a prime time when they wont have the assets nor the talent coming through to continue raiding the draft.

All changing the rules does is hurts the teams trying to catch up like Port Adelaide, Eagles and Carlton who have great prospects waiting that they now probably cant get.

Trac-Rowell-Anderson.

Thats an engine room winning flags.

They didn't even have Rowell last night. They did also look very confident.

BTW Is K.M Dan Gorringe?
