So what?When? After the AFL voted to create you? I'm not having a dig just trying not to rewrite history.
How could you have stayed in the NEAFL or VFL? The league formed your club and bankrolled it, from inception the plan was laid out of when you would be included in the league, are you saying that the AFL allowed you to decide which league you would play in?So what?
We joined the AFL.
We could of stayed in the NeAFL or the VFL. We didnt. We joined the AFL.
Only one rewriting anything is yourself.
Some Vics are the ones that like rewriting or ignoring history when it doesnt involve them. (Ie Ports history)

Where am I wrong? Mate.C'mon mate, time to join us in reality.
So you’re agreeing with him, but arguing semantics over the fact that at a point you, by the most literal definition, “joined” the league?Not saying that at all.
I am saying we joined the lower leagues before joining the AFL.
This isn't hard.
I know you lot get hardons from spruiking you were 1st but geez.

The five best H&A records since 1990 are all Victorian. 9 of the top 12.
In the past 10 years, 9/10 Victorian teams have a better winning % at the MCG than EVERY non-Victorian team.
No non-Victorian side has ever defeated a Victorian side in the Grand Final without list or salary cap concessions.
The evidence is clear.
This is the VFL in drag.
Incorrect
Was born well before the Giants were.
As such joined.
All clubs joined.
And if thats what you are hanging your hat on then you're ridiculous.

You realise they’re not mutually exclusive. The league can create you, AND you can join it
Nothing to do with who I support. Was just correcting you, since you felt the need to condescend
No doubt we were created but we then joined the comp.Incorrect, the giants were created by HQ for the purpose of growing the game in foreign territory. Same as gc, it is no secret that intent of HQ is to have these teams be successful in the hope they gain local following.
If you think otherwise you are in denial.
There are 11 clubs that did not "join" the AFL they were already there and there are 4 other franchises that were created to compete in that league.
Actually no.
It was he who replied to me 1st and argued over semantics.
You arent correting me.
I've never said we werent created by the AFL.
I was just staring we joined the comp. He argued that point.
Only ones condescending are yourselves.

Your exact words:
The incorrect was in response to someone saying you didn’t join the league, you were created by it.
Not all clubs joined the league by the way. 6 formed it
No doubt we were created but we then joined the comp.
Only one in denial is yourself.

No you didn't "join" as a choice, the AFL created 2 teams north of the Murray for the sole purpose of attempting to grow a supporter base in non footy territory and the league put you in it's league.
Please explain to everyone how I am in denial? Time to get to the real world buddy, stop denying the reason for the creation of your club.
Now whose arguing over semantics.
We played in lower grades and then joined the AFL in 2012.
I know exactly who and why we were created. No denial here.

So you replied he was incorrect, but you weren’t disagreeing?No its pointing out what actually happened which was in a reply to myself
Which was in response to me saying we joined the league.
The 6 clubs started the original comp is not in argument here.
Wow you are struggling here. I hate using this term as someone else is famous for it.
But you just like making s**t up.

He literally tried to explain it as “we played in other leagues and could’ve stayed in them” he’s basically just shifted his point in every post.You're still arguing that the giants "joined" of their own volition? You and I and everyone else knows that is not the case.
Time to let it go mate and just accept.
Not according to this graph. They were right on the 8.8m and way above any other team when you add in the other allowances.

Well you literally just said all clubs joined, now you’re saying it’s not in the discussion.
Gil just needs to read this thread to see why we don’t need expansion. Just brings in nuffies.
