12, ay? Of course.
Apparently playing with a VFL team (+ flu

) = rabble.
You've won 4 more games than a rabble, having travelled interstate 3 times to their 6. Well done. Really.
Besides, 3rd won't do you any good what-so-ever. If you don't finish 2nd you'll be watching the last 2 weeks with 12 other clubs.
Good luck with that.
BOTTOM LINE: There is no point being bitter because your team has not made the finals AGAIN! It will happen one day! Good luck with that. And the difference of only winning 4 more games than a rabble is the difference between playing finals footy and not. So, you're correct, it is 'well done, really'.
Also, Geelong have travelled interstate on 4 occassions. Subiaco - Round 2, AAMI - Round 5, GABBA - Round 13 & SCG - Round 15. The last few years Geelong have travelled interstate more than any other club, however when you finish top 4, you get rewarded in the fixture (i.e. friday games and travel). You may find that out in years to come.
One more thing, Geelong were missing the following players for the Sydney games: King (captain), Ling, Ottens, D.Johnson, S.Johnson, Playfair, Enright, Harley, Rooke, Wojinski, McCarthy, Slade. Scarlett & Byrnes played with the flu and only played because we had no other options in sydney.
10 of those 12 are in our best 22 and i am sure i have missed a few. Good luck on the week end!
