The last time the Liberals got voted out of government (2007) Geelong became premiers.

 

[Gee Class Loco]

The last time the Liberals lost an election (2007) Geelong became premiers.

Only difference is about 6 All Australians... A top notch ruckman and a midfield the envy of the league.

2010?

Jesus, we really are scraping the bottom of the barrel now aren’t we?

2010?

I think they mean last time Labor won from Opposition.

Yeah read the comments from the first few games of the season and see what how that midfield wasn't the envy for a while

I have now altered the wording. In 2007 Labor regained government. In 2010 Labor retained government. I hope that doesn't confuse anyone.

As I posted in the review thread yesterday, Hawkins and Cameron have combined for 101 goals thus far this season.

The last time we had 2 players kick 100 or more goals between them combined was 2011 (JPod and SJ).

Geelong going well at the end of the season and heading for a top 4 spot.... I don't know about you, but I see that as a bad omen

You'd rather us be performing poorly and finish bottom 4?

How can you possibly come to that conclusion?

Slight tongue in cheek

Gotta laugh at our recent failures otherwise it will form neurosis!

2007 = 18-4 flag
2009 = 18-4 flag
2022 = 18-4 ??

2007 = 15 game winning streak
2009 = 14 game winning streak
2011 = 14 game winning streak

2022 = 13* game winning streak

We're undefeated with Anthony Albanese as PM. Our last loss was on May 14, a week before he was elected.

If we go undefeated this finals series I might have to join a union and get an actu tattoo.

FOR GLORY COMRADES!

5 AA's, Stanley in better form than Ottens 11, and a forward line the envy of the league.
Eeriily similar.

Seventy has a sacred meaning in Scripture that is made up of the factors of two perfect numbers, seven (representing perfection) and ten (representing completeness and God's law). As such, it symbolises perfect spiritual order carried out with all power. It can also represent a period of judgement.

It is 70 years since we last won a premiership in an even year.

There is therefore something very symbolic about Geelong potentially winning the premiership this year, and if it eventuates (God, Let It Be) we can then all look back on this period of judgement with pride and admiration.

Last time we finished clear on top, and failed to beat the HAWKS, we won the flag.. 2007

Not to put a dampener on this one, but think that was 2008 actually....

Nah, Hawthorn beat us early in 2007 before the Richmond game.
We only played them once that year.

 

[Vdubs]

no, we beat the Hawks in 08, but not once in 07-- yes, we lost the GF in 08, no need for reminders

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

2007, 2009, 2011 we went through Collingwood to win the flag.
