I think it's safe to say they are the only team in the AFL who request less games at the G.

Interstate clubs definitely want to play at the G when they're in VIC, as that's where finals, in particular the GF, are played (do you understand that concept Geelong?). Marvel tenants want big games at the G, although the care factor of Marvel tenants is pretty low.

Geelong will continue to make finals by beating up minnows on their runway and earning enough pts/%.

More games at the G means better chance of winning finals there. Geelong are seriously taking the urine, and their supporters should be filthy.
If i was a supporter of thiers i would be filthy, but i don't think i have had a discussion with 1 that agrees with this point of view.
I have even said to them "when you play Pies/Bombers/Hawks in Geelong come & we'll have a discussion" they don't even agree with that....

I am aware that someone involved with the Club e-mailed them with the suggestion of offering a better allocation of tix for opposition Clubs as a way of helping play the big Clubs down there as they demand but they scoffed at the idea.

Driving through Geelong I was behind a car with Cats stickers on the rear window. The most prominent one said, and I quote this letter-perfect:
To Old!
To Slow!
To Good!!!!!

Got a feeling that sticker was from the time before Hawforn won their threepeat. Dim dark ages n all that stuff.

They were back at it again last night. :rolleyes:
No other team in the AFL flops or whines for free kicks like the Cats.
It’s ingrained in their DNA & stems from their coach to their team leaders down.
It’s well time the AFL media & commentary started calling them & their coach out for it as it’s an ugly blight on the sport.

They constantly talk to the umpires.
Where other clubs don't because theyre scared to give away a 50.

The entire leadership group from Selwood, Dangerfield, Taylor and Hawkins don't stop yapping off.
Selwood at one stage yesterday told Chamberlain, 'That's holding the ball".
Im not sure, but 10 years ago that would've been front page news.
"Geelong Captain tells Umpire how to umpire"
The last time we spoke to an umpire we gave away a 50.
Brisbane didn't get hard by, they lost fair & square last night.
They overplay there infringements too.

Noticed it more and more last night. Any time they get tackled they throw themselves backwards doing the YMCA. Should be known as the Village People Cats

It’s like Salty Scott has a direct phone line to the AFL. Shorter quarters to benefit their aging stars, more games on the ground they train on..etc. Etc. He whinges like an absolute *smile* every moment of press time he gets in order to push his agendas, yet is rarely called out by those giving him air time. The whenever someone does he gets OTT defensive. Arrogant, self entitled cry babies.

He was angry last night because of that last game against Brisbane last year, Brisbane over did the win, celebrating like they had won the flag. That's the game Cameron kicked 45 and he said he wasn't that good.
He was angry after that loss.

I totally agree, with the 4 minute qtrs and the 3 hour breaks are helping Geelong.
I pretty sure his brother working for the AFL is assisting him too.

They won't win it either.
GWS WC COLL and us (only if we hit our strap's before its tooo late)

Reckon Dimma watched that game and licked his chops. Just gotta hang in there and fall into 6-7-8 at worst.

Not going to happen I'm afraid Oldie. Which of these characters will bag their beloved Cats?
Hutchy, Whateley, Dwayno, Huddo, Ling?

Dangerflog resembled Henry the Octopus at times. Whenever he was touched, arms and legs would be flying all over the place, Stager of the highest order.
