They'll bleed more when Chequebook deserts them for the filthy goldcoast lucre.
Only a matter of time before his selfishness impacts on the Geel team performance.

The rest of Australia can wander mask-free, socialise, eat out, no curfews, no zoning, no police rings of steel, no illogical inconsistent rules.
They can even WATCH LIVE FOOTY!

Absolutely, he's the favorite son down there and his lack of a decision on his future must be impacting on the morale of the club as a whole.Enrico_Misso wrote:They'll bleed more when Chequebook deserts them for the filthy goldcoast lucre.

We haven't won the grand final, but I do sense that Geelong can be beaten.

Now that I am old and know so much more, I know that I know so much about so little, and so little about so much.

GREAT post ralphsmith! I've got so sick of hearing how Pods is "living the dream" and how the cats are so much better than every other team that they wouldn't miss Ablett/Mooney/Chapman/Scarlett etc, also how Geelong MUST win the flag this year to prove their greatness...
Somebody get me a bucket.
"The dream" will turn into a nightmare......Cats won't make the Grand Final.

Tonight opened my eyes to just how big the gap still is between 1 and 2 and the rest...when both of us play at our best, ripping contest.
Think it through.
Our system came of age.
Let them chase. We are on.
Plenty of their supporters were mighty agitated....
Holding them to 3 points for 2 1/2 quarters was nothing short of awesome, and the most significant aspect of the game.
We stuck it right up 'em... and they dont like it up 'em!
For what its worth I do not judge Ablett if he has or does decide to go to the GC, I beleive there is still a place for loyalty and tradition in football but also that it is a business and is the livelihood of the players. It is fully professional and players will come and go. If Ablett broke his neck in round 20 and hadnt signed yet, do you think the Geelong football club, or any club would say look mate we know that you may never walk again but we are going to sign you on a 5 year deal for 800,000 a year to look after you?Enrico_Misso wrote:They'll bleed more when Chequebook deserts them for the filthy goldcoast lucre.

Having said all that, I do beleive that the longer this goes on the more preassure will build on the club and in particular the playing list, players will start to think about getting their share of Abletts money if they pressume he is going, they will start to wonder whether some of their next contract is being thrown at him to stay. Any time he gets dejecyed or angry they will start to see it as a sign that he is going etc.
It may, could and IMO will start to play a part in their preperation.
They may stil be good enough to be premiers though?
Maybe this year?

Great defensive display by the saints, but really its just another 4 points. Both teams has key outs as well, so this game should not be used as a guide for what may or may not happen in September. Absolutely happy to get the win though.

Yeah, the furthest they'll get is the Prelim...which they'll lose in heart-breaking circumstances.
Then in Grand Final week the (ho-hum) exclusive will come out: Ablett going to Gold Coast. We'll all make a great effort to stifle yawns, then get on with winning the Flag.

Great Call Thinline.
I love all this media sooking by Geelong and there supporters. All we need now Is Ablett to produce his GC boarding pass and the pussy cats may well self implode.

Geelong will play North next week, take 4 points,Goose is king wrote:Winning is the wall paper that covers all cracks and Geelong will play North next week, take 4 points, gets some players back and look mighty dangerous. It was a great win, but Geelong's loss will only set them back about as much as our loss to Carlton did.
wouldn't put the deeds to ranch on that !
Yep, I would be annoyed if North went down there with the mindset 'oh great, now we have to play Geelong at home and after a loss'starsign wrote:Geelong will play North next week, take 4 points,Goose is king wrote:Winning is the wall paper that covers all cracks and Geelong will play North next week, take 4 points, gets some players back and look mighty dangerous.

Excuses are flying out of the cattery at a rapid pace, when they should be looking at where they are vulnerable.
This would be the time to push them...and hard...Brad Scott is certainly capable of tuning into this.

yeah, they don't like being outmuscled, outcoached and outclassed.AlpineStars wrote:Every other team in the comp should see how we played them and they didn't like it. Every week should be a physical battle for them for the rest of the year.
i was talking to a carlton mate about how his team had smashed both us and geelong.
he reckons geelong cannot counter three small forwards.
i reckon ross will be awake to this for next time we olay carlton and it will not end well for them.
