The Geelong Quotes Thread

[TGTOA]

I'm bored this afternoon, so I thought I'd do a bit of reminiscing and think about any famous (or infamous) quotes relating to the GFC. It could be a comment by a player, coach, something said about the club, or a memorable piece of commentary. To get the ball rolling:

"Billy, you are King of Geelong!" - Sandy Roberts, 1994 QF

"I see it, but I don't believe it" - we all know where that one comes from

"You're f***ed, where are you going to be in 6 months" - Darren Goldspink to Paul Chapman (allegedly)

"He was up so high, I reckon he was rubbing shoulders with an air hostess" - Garry Hocking about Gary Ablett's famous mark over Pert

Feel free to add any memorable ones you can think of

yep, I also like the bit about Mick Martin, but don't know it 100%.

I think it's something like "he's been the master all day" and something else along those lines.

DC: There is not justice in football, that was the look on the face of Michael Martin. The master all day, and this game will be remembered for this kick. Gary Ablett, 5m out, any score will do. Geelong you're in the grand final.

"He shoots towards goal .......what more can you say ?" - Sandy Roberts on Gary Ablett v Collingwood [1989 ?]

1989 prelim Vs Essendon - After Gaz kicks his 8th goal and puts Geelong further ahead Sandy Roberts says ......

"long live the king"


Dennis Commetti from same game ....."that's a party trick not a mark"

Rex Hunt actually said " he was higher than Joe Cocker" when Ablett took "that mark" over Pert.

Two more of my favourites, mostly to do with them being awesome goals.

South Australia v Victoria, Football Park, 1994:
"It's back there towards goal, Wanganeen and Ablett, two of the greats of the game. Ablett, over the top, don't tell me Gary! He's kicked it, he's got it! Ablett's kicked his fourth! Unbelievable!" - Bruce McAvaney

Essendon v Geelong, MCG, 1995
"A snap by Pickering, in the goalsquare, it clears Brownless and Ablett. Here's Gazza the great man - left-foot snap! Oh don't tell me! What a goal by Gazza!" - Drew Morphett
"The man's a genius" - Gerard Healy
