Revisionist history?

The difference between listening to direct sources and listening to journalists these days is vast. there are the actual people and clubs involved and then there are the characters the media talk about that often have little in common with the actual people and or clubs.

So if we listen to direct sources, not much happened. Players, coaches, administrative staff have been having conversations about getting better. Pretty standard end of season talking points. if we listen to the media, everything happened, the sky is falling and the club is a cesspool of sub human types with bad intentions and they are bad at their jobs. I like that the club took its time and wasn’t playing the media’s game or working to their schedule. I’m sure some staff will move on from the club over the off season and that’s probably for the best. Some renewal is always necessary. It’s impossible to gauge how serious this was based only on listening to media speculation. why is it we all know the media are full of [censored] yet when they talk about us so many can’t help but try and read the tea leaves without realising the tea leaves are manufactured and those discussed are caricatures not necessarily built on reality.

I this max is great leader. Mongrel, as useful as it can be at times is, I think, overrated. I do wonder if it’s a team ethos or direction to not get too engaged with that sort of behaviour on field though as there are times when you would like to see something especially with max. I have to think he’s told everyone to leave it to him.

Max is a soft leader?

Book the grand final after party then. Firm favourites now.

Since 2007 Geelong have never made an error in running the club. Not. Even. Once!

Used to watch him at northcote park. He was a freak.

The Viney interview looks like it’s some kind of Rorschach test

But but but, the sky is falling is more engaging

That’s gotta make us favourites for next years flag .

Much like late 2021

I agree with that

There you go

Probably hasn’t ever trained in midfield so why would he have any idea? Doesn’t know the roles etc. Seems a smart guy, I’m sure he can figure it out in time.

Not a fan of taking in a larger sample before making a call? Don’t be thorough. That gets in the way of a good shout.

Seems like he wants to stay away from the game though. Too hard for him to be around it at the moment.

I can’t afford these things either. Those peoples financial contributions are very useful for the club, whether they go or not. Basically I think we can say that the AFL are a pack of plonks who have been tearing at the working class fabric of this game for far too long and it’s now at a ridiculous point in which everyone’s dollar but the fans comes first. Which is a joke, but due to our dedication as fans to our club we get abused by an unelected bunch of you know what’s. I HAVE HUMBLE OPINIONS ALSO. 😁

We are due a good run with injuries and with that anything is possible. Some teams that look good and or promising this year will fall. Some will surprise. Some will disappoint. I think we are still right in it if things go our way. Things going our way being the hardest part as it’s out of our hands. Fingers crossed.

That’s true of almost everyone in the afl. They are trained to do it. I would argue goodwin isn’t very good at it at all.

Sure, but that’s not the same as using a term like “true supporter” which means absolutely nothing. Also it’s the afls fault and only the afls fault that people with money and or connections can waltz in to grand finals having given very few [censored] about the season or club or whatever. having a minimum requirement of games attended is also never going to happen and is verging on some version of elitism in itself. If you choose to base a large part of your life around attending matches etc that’s great but it still doesn’t give you any rights or power over the next person. Being a cheer squad member and as passionate and driven to help as you are I would hope the club would look after you come finals time anyway. I may be wrong. what if in my life time I have been to say on average 10-14 games a year for every season since I could get there myself, but due to whatever reason the last three seasons I haven’t been able to go at all. How should that be measured in the seat getting contest for finals? we should be grateful that we aren’t following an epl side and have to spend hundreds of dollars just to go to any old game. That league truly [censored] it for their fans.

You can’t gate keep supporting and decide who is and who isn’t true based on how they take part in the club and game.

You getting paid half a mil a year to go to the football are you?

No one here is making excuses. None of us are capable of having an excuse because we aren’t running the club and didn’t participate in the game. We are looking at reasons. It’s quite different. No one here has any power over the result or the decisions made. It’s pretty straight forward. Stop having a crack at peoples “excuses” because you fancy yourself as some no nonsense, say it as I see it type.

Agreed.
