Geelong tell that story better than any other team in the competition.

Everyone likes to call them dads army, but they have really smashed it out of the park with their approach.

North Melbourne were doing alright too until they stopped being able to attract a decent player.

They sell the seaside lifestyle and get plenty of bites.  Are there any Geelong players who don't live 'on the coast'...?

They are Dad's Army, the fact is its PFs and GFs that Dad's Armies win if they can get there. For a bunch of old blokes, they have been both lucky with injury and well managed. As a group though, their time in the sun is limited.

Well instead of gambling on kids who could be 10 year players but most of the time fail they recruit sure things who might only have 3-5 years left but that is better than what Dow, O'Brien, Stocker, Kemp or SPS have given us.

Theyve played finals 10 out of the last 11 years for 3 grand finals.

If they lose on Saturday (they won't they've been a cut above the rest all year) they'll still have out performed the Carlton football clubs record since 1993 in roughly 12 years.

Depends how old you are. At my age I have seen Carlton play in 13 Grand Finals for 8 wins, much better than Geelong in that time. They have won 3 from 10 since 1963.

Reckon the Swannies pressure will roll them today so be another loss. Haven't gone 7-0 against the top 5 for nothing this year.

Thought the same thing when I saw 3 Leos post. We are obviously of a similar vintage. In my first 25 years of barracking for the BlueBaggers I saw us win 7 Premierships and lose 4.

There’s a huge difference when you measure our success over the last 35 years and the 35 years before that.

I’ve been lucky enough to witness the Mighty Blues in 14 grand finals for 8 cups 🙂
