Sedat I've put up with this for long enough. If you're going to keep singing the praises of Kardinia Park and not acknowledge the blatant advantage it gives Geelong you're gonna have to go.

I can relate chef. A mixed bag in my family as well. Mum is a Demon, Dad isn’t a big footy follower, younger brother is a Magpie.

Taylor has a set shot and kicks it straight into Rick Kennedy on the mark. Lane's commentary goes something like "oh no. Kennedy handballs to Hardie, over the top to Daniels, this is how it should be done, to Edmond, takes a bounce and delivers to BEAS-LEY! Game over"
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

It's strange but I've got no Geelong supporting mates either. I've got mates who support all the other Victorian clubs but not Geelong.
That probably says a lot about the average Geelong supporter.

Yeah it really is time to stop faffing about and let us know how you feel about the handbaggers. Enough dillydalling around I reckon

I think The handbaggers name should be resurrected when talking about Geelong now. I used to love yelling that out at the footy when playing Geelong. Used to get their followers really pissed off. Isn't that what footy's about?

Hand bag side etc etc, running down their team, shouting loudly in their ears after a goal. Always on the attack. I remember as they turned around each time to give me a bit back I would condescendingly say "don't look at me look at the game look at the game"...really irritated them. It was great and we won. Must have been 1985. Ah the good old days.
That's so agricultural.

I was at that game. Les Bamblett kicking a marvellous running goal to the opposite end of the city end - I have no idea what they call it, have no desire to know what they call it either. In fact, I have no desire to know anything about Geelong. I first learnt the meaning of the word "hoodoo" in the 1960s as it was always mentioned by the scribes when previewing Dogs v Cats games.
I was at the game when Bews kicked goal of the year against us. I also witnsessed a loss when the late Dennis Collins kicked a long bomb on the siren that just missed.

I fear my children will never see the Dogs win at Kardinia Park in their lifetime at this rate.

Never fear, we have to play there each and every year unlike most other Victorian sides.
