Tigers easily ;D

2022 will be remembered as the most even comp. Geelong aren't that good just the best of a very even crop. And played 2 interstate teams absolutely cooked from previous win.

We'd kill them with our '19 team

Silly Seasons started

Isaac Smith won their Normie. Nuff said.

I don’t like the cats as much as the next guy but an 18-4 season with a percentage of >140 which included a 16 or whatever it was win streak and a 10+ goal victory in the prelim and grand final make them a great side in my books. As much as it sucks all of those claims of them being a retirement home, finals chokers, Scott being a crap coach, their recruitment strategy being unsuccessful have all been put to bed now.
Problem with this comparison is you can’t really look at out 2019 team in isolation as they were smack bang in the middle of a dynasty. So while our 2019 side is unquestionably better, in a one off game assuming it’s played to the current rules, cats probably win. That’s no knock on our 2019 team, I’d just always give the edge to the more recent team in a hypothetical game that could never happen especially with all the stupid constant rule changes which we still haven’t really adapted to.

We saw the answer in '20 GF

How quick-thinking Cats ran amok after two Tiger hidings
Geelong threw everything it had at Richmond — twice — and came up short. So the Cats devised a plan to reset and come again as they literally ran away from the competition.

Bold says it all. Actually, it was three times not twice.
We didn't need a club official to change the rules for us to win ours either.

reckon the 2022 tigers could have beat them

stuff yeah. Bang on.

Yep. Only ourselves to blame this year.

They probably win with the stand rule. Without it, we destroy them.

Been mentioned before but comparing eras is next to I possible. The rule changes really dictated things in particular favouring a style of keepings off that Geelong play.
2022 rules the 2017 team vs Cats would be close.
But 2017 rules with 2017 RFC vs Cats now would be a belting.
