Well done Geelong

[dees64 104]

Geelong has demonstrated to all Victorian clubs that we can win flags

Geelong had a 5million debt back in 1999 & without any AFL assistance they are now profitable

They have drafted all young kids & developed them

They drew a line in the sand with player discipline eg Steve johnson goes on to win the Norm Smith

Dont Tell me that its too hard for Demons to do exactly what Geelong has done because when you get the right people with the correct vision & strategies along with goods planning the above is achievable!

Geelong really do "play the game as it should be played" and it is no coincidence that by playing the long, direct and attacking style of play they do, that the now hold the record for the greatest winning margin in a Grand Final.

EDIT: I forgot to mention accountable too.

no afl assistant but remember they do get heaps of profits from home games at KP where they sell all seats as reserved seats for $30 a pop at least. they also have had around $20 million (i believe) in funding from afl, and state and local governments to the redevelopment of KP.

that being said, congrats. they deserved the premiership, they played great footy, and they really are a good bunch of guys.

Well done Cats.

It just goes to show that you can finish down the list one year and be back up there the next as long as you have a group of players willing to give their all, a good game plan and few injuries. Had Geelong or Port or any finals team copped the injuries to their key players, as we did this year, they would not have been within a bull roar of the finals. Never thought the Roos would go as far as they did but good luck to them.

We have talent but I beleive ND got as much as he could out of most of the team and we needed a fresh outlook and new blood. Naturally, CJ's arrival at the club would be a major coup but I have a feeling that if DB and his plan he put to the committee that got him the job will see us back in the finals in 08. I wish it was feb now and we were about to see how all the hard work has paid off and the new look Dees run out for their first match. Its going to be torture waiting.

I hope all you lucky guys down there will continue to give us interstaters the goss on training, players etc over the summer to keep us in the know.

Well done to the pussies and let's not forget the history behind this win.

Geelong won its first premiership in 1925.

Who won the flag in the year after that?

Before yesterday Geelong won its last premiership in 1963.

Who won the flag in the year after that?

I reckon we are an absolute Monty to win in 2008!!!
