Hopefully you can snag a flag while we reload...Scott-era Cat's don't do dynasty's, or win flags while Dynasty teams like Richmond & Hawthorn are on their roll...rather they hover around the mark (which does admittedly deserve credit) and wait till there's a lull in competition...you do talk about being the ''second-winningest team'' and being up at half time in a final during other team's dynasty's though
(before you all start replying about 07-11, yep i know Scott inherited one flag on the back of another coach's dynasty..)
I talked about the second winningest team in relation to the stand rule and how one team (plus port, Sydney and Brisbane) managed to cope with it and how the best team didn’t. Hop in the pond with Blaisee, Smasha and Aristotle if you couldn’t work that out.
I will ask one more time as no one seems to want to give an answer. Did you get bigger cups for the sequence of your wins? No one thinks your side was within a bulls roar of Geelong, Brisbane or hawthorn anyway so who gives a shit.
It’s not like in a fantasy competition in heaven that the four sides assemble and they go ‘hang on hang on. The score is going to change because of the order in which the cats won their flags.’

Do they get bigger? No. Do Dynasty's/successive flags matter? Yes. You just proved that yourself by mentioning the Geelong, Brisbane and Hawthorn teams, there's a reason they come to mind. I'm not going to get sucked into 'who's was better.' - My point is the current Scott-era don't do dynasty's and they don't win flags while dominant dynasty teams are around...hence the gap between 11 & 22..
edit: and yes, of course single flags are good too. This is a banter thread right?

Why do successive flags matter? To who? You? Congrats
Did you win flags while dominant/dynasty teams were around? I didn’t see any.
I saw hawthorn win their last flag two years before your first, and missing finals every season you won the comp, and going out in straight sets the year before, and after, your first. OOOH!!! Well done.
At least the Cats had a finals win over Hawthorn in a flag year the season before Hawthorn’s first grand final at the start of their big run, and while they still had most of their 2008 team intact, or did that escape you?
No no we definitely didn’t win any of our flags at a time when there was a dynasty team around did we
F**k, aside from MR’s little spreadsheet of finals wins against Geelong does ANY tigers fan - literally ANY - (BF Tiger excepted who actually knows his stuff) understand what research and facts are about?

So what you're saying is that Richmond couldn't cope when they couldn't apply the pressure they were renowned for? Which means all the other teams could cope with less pressure in the game, which prompted them to move the ball quicker against Richmond, why do you think the rule was brought in?

Tell the truth, we got emasculated so the handbaggers could move the ball quicker with less pressure in the game. Remember, it's a fact that Geelong couldn't move the ball quick enough for Hocking's liking before his rule change.

No you didn’t. You shit the bed. Rules change every year.
The truth is you’re as spineless as half a dozen of the other gutless excuse makers who can’t handle defeat.
Why is it that 90 per cent of grown men following sport can accept when their team rises or falls but there is a subsection for people who may have the physical attributes of an adult - which I assume you are - but who never fully developed the emotional mechanisms to accept defeat and as such have to continually find ways to make excuses, lay blame, and find someone to scapegoat for the failures of themselves or someone to whom they assign disproportionate personal value? It’s f**king hilarious
Why did Geelong not win between 12-21? Because we just, weren’t, f**king, good enough. Hawthorn, Sydney, the Dogs, the Eagles, Richmond, Melbourne - hell Port and North and Freo had goes at knocking us out - they were all too good for us and we weren’t good enough. None of this rule bullshit or anything else.
Grow a set of balls and toughen the f**k up.

There was a minor dynasty team around, they won a special needs being met flag in 2022 and went on to call themselves a dynasty right after
Who were the "dominant dynasty" teams around when Geelong won in '07, '09 & 2011?
Hear hear UA, couldn't have said it better myself.
Just call him Cleany already. Tell it like it is
Tiggy fans are up and about it seems.
Has something happened?
Love to see it.

Hawthorn was a "dominant dynasty" team, and then Richmond was a stumbling block in your way, so what was a minor dynasty team to do, win a flag between 12-21

I just showed you a better example of one than any that were in business when Richmond won.There was a minor dynasty team around, they won a special needs being met flag in 2022 and went on to call themselves a dynasty right after

If you’re going to give it the biggen about something you’ve achieved try doing your research first.
To re-iterate, when the Tigers won their first flag, the Hawks were two years post their last flag, they never played finals in a year the Tigers won a flag, and went out in straight sets both the before, and the year after the Tigers’ first flag in 2017 and sunk without trace.
The Hawks not only won an early flag in 2008, but began making prelims, lost to us in a final in 2011, made a grand final in 2012 after finishing minor premiers, and then won 3 flags.
I’d say we did ok on the ‘what dynasty sides did you play’ score compared to you, wouldn’t you?

What point is this statement even making.
You weren’t a stumbling block in our way, you were the best team in the competition.
If you were a stumbling block in our way, so was half the competition during the same period
Just call him Cleany already. Tell it like it is
I don't know who this Cleany guy is you keep speaking about.
**** I miss Cleany, he was one of the very best.
Dimma's Dynasty (2017-2020) was a lesser period of dominance than Selwood's Empire (2007-2022).Hawthorn was a "dominant dynasty" team, and then Richmond was a stumbling block in your way, so what was a minor dynasty team to do, win a flag between 12-21
Let's see what Ooze can cook up.

So what, you guys made PF's in '17 & '19 before making a GF in 2020, and then won a flag in '22 because you could move the ball quicker.
No way, you beat no dynasty teams enroute to any of your flags.
Stand Rule!! Wahhhhhhh!

Would've won the flag last year if it wasn't in place.
The Tigers dropping off was definitely nothing to do with Dusty, Reiwoldt, Cotchin, Lynch, Grimes, Edwards, etc all falling off a cliff simultaneously and recruiting a bunch of spuds like Collier Dawkins, Sonsie, Dow, Coleman Jones, etc, etc over that period.

Is that why we won? Hmm. That’s interesting. Seems odd that we didn’t win in 2021 then but instead but leapfrogged by Melbourne and absolutely buttf**ked in a prelim by them.
Phew. We beat no dynasty teams on the way to any of our flags.
So we are on the same amount as you, then, except we beat Port Adelaide, who won a flag 3 years earlier, and Collingwood who won one a year earlier. Remind me which dynasty teams Brisbane beat during their run, by the way.
You beat Adelaide who hadn’t played a grand final in 20 years, GWS who didn’t exist until 7 years prior, and us, who based on what you’re saying, might as well have been like beating your meat over a Picture magazine.
This is a sub-Blaisee level argument and that’s saying something.
