Banter Geelong V Richmond - GO!

[Wosh]

In the interests of keeping your back and forth shite fights out of match threads so normal people can talk.

Keep it clean and above the shorts
Off topic rubbish clogging up match threads will be moved here, knock yourselves out.

 

[Meteoric Rise]

Hmmm. Kind of is though isn’t? Slightly relativist argument you’re making.

Playing way less games and shorter quarters (objectively true) verses speculative theories about drafts and the competition at the time.

The fact is that 2020 was awesome because we all got to watch footy in spite of the pandemic - loved it.

But it was a glorified shits and giggles scout jamboree to keep us sane which in no way comes close to all the other flags. The other two Tiges flags I count - but not that one.

Lol shorter season and matches is objectively true as you say. What you failed to say is how that is any unfair advantage to the Premier team over other teams. Which is what would be required to put a genuine asterisk next to the Premiership.

So where do we draw the line. First one to kick a goal after the opening bounce? Would that be a flag too?

Just tell us how Richmond had an advantage that other teams didn’t.

Richmond played interstate, like the other teams.
Richmond were in a hub, like the other teams.
Richmond played a 17 game H&A season, like other teams.
Richmond played 16 minute quarters, like other teams.

What other teams didn’t have was Brooke Cotchin and Sydney Stack. That must have been our advantage - scandal generating an “us versus the world” mentality. Yep, asterisk it all.

I’m not talking about the advantage. It’s like saying who had an unfair advantage in the Apple bobbing contest at the village fair. No one cares

What are you talking about then? Are you just going on "feels"?

Seems legit. Sorry the Tigers hurt them.

tonight!

Great to see him finally enjoying football. Just a shame it wasn’t with the team he coaches.

Better tell Usain bolt he’s the worst gold medalist because he wins sprints and not marathons

Um. Nope

What has first goal wins got to do with Richmond's inspirational flag win against the odds in the 2020 AFL Toyota Premiership season?

**** all. You are seriously struggling here comrade.

 

[Grin]

Look if you think playing 5 minute quarters and playing hacky sack on Cottesloe beach (while Victorians were Uber eating mouldy croissants) equals all the other flags good luck to you but it didn’t and never will

Denigrating the success of others? How very Geelong supporter like of you.
Richmond's magnificent 2020 premiership in the most difficult and challenging season in AFL history, wth a raft of rule changes to disrupt Richmond's game plan and extremely biased umpiring. It was obviously one of the most against the odds and impressive premierships ever.
Your angry posts giving voice to your bitter envy were an enjoyable read
Thanks for posting

 

[Outtatym]

Cats fans realising they're just as ****ed as we are, if not more.

The desperation for this to be true is... interesting

 

[Cleansweep17]

Ah yes just some legends praising the GOAT…

One of the best if not the best 1v1 player Longmire has seen.

 

[Cleansweep17]

And another…

Best big games player because of his NS says SOS

One of the best players Lockett has seen apparently.

Crawford reckons 2017 is the GOAT season.

 

[Cleansweep17]

Finally…

I wonder what the Dusty haters on here have to say about them apples.

18 All Australians(doubtless the most) but probably the worst top 8 in the AFL right now? Curious.

I’m not sure what you mean?

 

[Meteoric Rise]

Do the players on your list not have 18 All Australian selections between them?

Not sure, if they do then what is the point you’re making? I’m not gonna make it for you so what do you mean?

The point I was making is we have a curious situation where the Geelong top 8 as listed by you:

a) has more AA's between them than any other top 8, and
b) is probably the worst top 8 right now.

Do you disagree with either or both of those statements? And if not, don't you think it is curious and worthy of passing mention, at least?

Well ok, so you’re saying in your opinion the top 8 i listed has most AA selections out of every other top 8 listed, but is worst top 8 overall?

Ok, so? That’s your point?

Just out of curiosity, who do you think is top 8 at Geelong?

*edit
What point are you trying to make?

It does seem to suggest Geelong players are a bit over-represented in AA selections. But I guess we all knew that already, right?

When were all these AA selections, one by one, in what years, and which are unjustified, if you don’t mind listing them?

But I guess we all knew that already, right?

Do we?
Please explain. Is it still because Tom Stewart got the nod over some obscure Richmond player a few years ago, or something else?

Alternatively it could simply suggest their list is older than dirt.

While I am at it would you like your arse wiped? Fmd.

I have heard of Geelong supporters being entitled but you are the cake taker.

Your top 8 has 18 AA's in it as far as I know. This will be the most of any top 8 listed on this thread, and by a big margin. Yet your top 8 is currently shyte, if you traded them out you'd get about 3 late first round picks between the lot of them.

Richmond's top 8 for instance has about twice as many flags and a third of the AA selections compared to your Geelong contingent. What do you make of that? Probably too complex a question for you.
