Is there a risk that Geelong could run out of premium farm land to rort with?

We could always just use any of the other 7,000,000 square kilometres that the entirety of Australia has within its borders that all clubs can access and is subject to the same real estate markets as what is within the Geelong LGA, something you seem incapable of grasping.

But why would I want to be gifted a farm in Perth if I play in Geelong? The Geelong rorting propaganda department has sent you some bad talking points old boy.

If I’m a Geelong player I want to be rorted premium Geelong farmland that isn’t too far away from Pork Barrel Park but also not too close to Geelong cbd (for obvious reasons).

you’re not getting it.
It was a reference to the ability that any club has, like yours, for example, to ‘rort the system’ using the real estate market that exists in your own city.

Houses and land and real estate markets exist in places beyond Geelong. Why is it that you think land packages in Geelong are the only ones in the world that have value that can be used to lure a sportsperson to sign a contract 😂😂


John Longmire sold his house at Malabar - through one of Sydney’s major sponsors mind you - for what was something close to $3 million.

Do you think players in the eastern suburbs of Sydney could ever be offered some nice units or townhouses etc worth a little sweetener……

Or is it just Geelong where there’s a real estate market 😂

Because the 17 other clubs believe in the integrity of the salary cap. Geelong sees it as flexible.

What happened to the jumper punch podcast? I was enjoying that. The last episode got pretty spicy. Best case scenario it got suspended, or worse there could be hate speech repercussions. I'm genuinely concerned for them. But onto geelong.. actually I should start by acknowledging the traditional owners of my keyboard, Krazy Larry's Komputers on Maroondah Hwy. Thanks Uncle Larry. Maybe next time don't start a fire that close to the stock. I mean the whole place could go up. Here are the facts:

Channel 7 commentators have spoken about geelong recruits getting cheap land deals. They sort of talked about it under their breath like it was a dirty little secret. In fact they sort of nervously chuckled as they spoke of it. This I remember clearly.

Ablett Jr is now working in real estate.

Ken Wood was given his marching orders around 2021 or 2.

News services in 2006 reported geelong becoming a ghost town. People were leaving in droves.

Those are facts. This is opinion:

Geelong needs a successful team for the morale of that town, and when there's political pressure for a team to be successful, so it will be. Wood was probably half way down the geelong road when he learned of his sacking. Will Geelong meet a similar fate to the storm? I wouldn't be surprised.

No. The guy stole government money.

I assume him sponsoring Geelong was his way of putting things right and ensuring the money got where it was really intended.

I guess you could call it stealing government money if you consider robbing a pensioner is also stealing government money...

He (allegedly) stole $14.5m from a charity who work with disabled people.
