Opinion Why is no one discussing Geelong?

[SuperVolley11]

I don’t get it. So much to discuss, yet no one wants to talk about them. Some possible conversation starters;

• Age
• Finals record compared to H&A
• Fixture
• Home ground/lack of home finals
• Salary cap
• Certain players that polarize everyone (ie Danger or Selwood)

Thanks. Hopefully this will get the ball rolling.

Hawthorn not being there is a great start.

Well, i've been there a couple of times, just your run of the mill country village with high %s of buck toothed and pointy eared folk walking around in baggy wool tracksuits.

You have been to Western Sydney, yeah?

For the same reason nobody is seriously discussing what Matthew Guy will do as Premier. We know he’ll s**t the bed when push comes to shove, despite having a reasonable year. all there is to discuss is the smell and quantity of said s**t.

 

[Zevon]

ZevonBet is taking wagers on how long this thread remains on the main board before it gets moved to the bay where it belongs…

Any takers?

 

[CharacterFirst]

B/c we play some games on our cheat ground.

Geelong are the most boring team in footy. They are exactly the same every year: competitive, in the eight or top four. But they’ll s**t the bed come finals and another team will win the flag. Then we’ll be back to do it again next year.

Usually they are the second or third best team and lose against a younger hungrier side.

This year they are the best team by the length of the Flemington straight with only 2 real challengers

and why should they?

 

[STPer18]

It was an ironic post at the time. Just prior to finals last year the entire main board was filled with threads about Geelong started by arse-sore Collingwood and Richmond posters. A month later they all ran for the hills.

Do you think you can make the top 12 again next year?

Where's the "Have the comp caught up to Geelong's tactics" thread?

We'll improve on this year's finishing place as long as we don't have on average 5-6 best 22 players missing/injured each week.

And I did run the numbers on that. We had 6 or more injured 11 out of 23 games in 2023, compared to 4 games out of 25 in 2022 (with an older list in 2022).

Aristotle Pickett if you'd like I can run the same analysis on Richmond 2023. Lynch was out. Hopper missed a few, Nank a bunch, Short a couple, Martin 3 rests. We can include Gibcus but let's not get silly with Tarrant, or anyone who got dropped throughout the year.

It doesn't make it a good excuse though because the list depth is part of being successful.

Sure, but the comp was even enough through 4th-14th that a decisive factor for any side that was likely being well above or below average for injuries/week. As well as being forced to play a handful of stars injured. Anyway this will be one to revisit next year. 2022 we had a rough early run that corresponded with a 5-4 start and then a dream run for the win streak. There's a correlation.

Do you just go searching for crap threads to bump?
