Geelong Arrogance

Featured Replies

This is why I absolutely dislike Geelong real bad.

Go have a look on their facebook page and twitter and you will see why.

Basking on their 186 point win glory over us and thinking it will be a walk on the park for them...

Cmon dees!

Geelong supporters are arrogant, particularly down at the Cattery. But we always bring our D game whenever we play them. I reckon most of their supporters would have been as bored as I was today.

 

I absolutely f'k'n hate Geelong supporters, they're actually my most hated out of the whole AFL. The sad part is that I like the actual team, a well established club who can rightly so dish out a bit of banter. The only reason why people automatically say Essendon, Collingwood, Richmond supporters are the worst is because how many of them there are, if Geelong had that many then they'd be known as the most feral.

Arrogance is underrated. It's usually a sign that you're better than your opponent.

It looked like that to me too.

Apart from what we thought about being so uncompetitive, I was worried about how unenthusiastic and disengaged I felt about the game. No atmosphere, no noise, at all - I couldn't believe there were over 36,000 people in the MCG.

Walking away, we had our thoughts to sort - Geelong supporters cannot have been feeling too good either. They'd've had to have been realising that they really are on the way down, and I reckon that would've felt just as bad as our feeling that we are not yet on the way up. "It was a bad game of football, Harry..."

Ugly, unexciting, error-riddled, pointlessly exhausting football. Nobody got entertained. That is a worry, maybe even bigger than the scoreboard.

All clubs have [censored] supporters and similar players, Johnson and Hunt (now at GWS) to name a couple from Catland.

Geelong however are well down my feral supporter list which is headed by Essendon and Brisbane.

Cats have remained supreme - lost best player, lost Premiership coach, lost CEO. That is greatness - and they rarely whinge in the media.

I sat through 186 in the Geelong members' stand.

Anyone who criticises Cat fans never stood at Windy Hill. Made Princes Park and Collingwood picnics.

Play a great brand of football and have stayed near the top despite the draft. They have kept the AFL product afloat in an era of fake franchises, thuggish head-hunting teams and rolling mauls. Was it Mitch Duncan they got at 29 (when we got Scully at 1?). A team to be admired. IMO, a far better team than the essendons, WCE's, Hawthorns, Carltons of the world.

They've been blessed with father-sons.

They have a huge advantage with ?8 games at Kardinia Park each year. It has a unique shape, and there is no room for opposition supporters. Opposition sides LOVE playing on our home ground( not just because of the weak opponents!) Inevitably, our supporters are outnumbered by opposition supporters(even v. Sydney and Bris) . These are disadvantages we have cf. Geelong, apart from the disparity in list quality.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
