Geelong rorting the system

[Mr Meow]

Good point. As a player Rohan was likely more of a role model for young kids.

It was a coaches comparison. You'll get there eventually but I'm here to help until it clicks for you.

Where was it stated that it was confined to coaches? Please highlight.

But if you want to keep it to coaches was Dimma’s consensual relationship on Richmond’s dime better or worse than Bomber Thompson on the crack pipe on Geelong’s dime? I guess difference being Dimma might have got active in the back seat of car while Bomber “fell asleep” in one.

Personally I’d like to see an end to attacks on individuals based on their personal lives, but I won’t let it slide when some peanut thinks he’s landed a “gotcha” comment.

Salary cap cheating, drug cheating, soft cap cheating, home ground cheating, farmland cheating champions.

Mindbreak status? Broken beyond repair.

It was others who brought Scott's ethics into it. You know how to read.

the proof is in the pudding

If you’re going to use an expression get it right. Or are you saying the proof was buried in the pudding?

I’m not sure why people bang on about KP as home ground advantage… we find it pretty easy to play there.

Cause then they would have to come to terms with the fact that maybe just maybe their team wasn't good enough.

GWS and Freo can do it consistently, don't see why a patch of grass seems to befuddle supposed "Big" clubs.

“personally I’d like to see an end to attacks on individuals personal lives, but in the meantime I’m going to attack individuals personal lives”. I can’t believe this website is free.

To be honest it’s hard to rort a system when it’s literally handed to you on a silver platter.

Well you’ve just proved my point

 

[Freddy Swift]

So Dusty pledged not to fail drug tests and hang out with convicted killers but did he?

AM I doing it right?

GO Catters

What part of what I said is incorrect? None of us know if Scott was paid during that year or not. Cat fans state it as fact.

As for Dusty, can you tell me more about these pledges you say he made?

None of us know what Martin himself was paid when he took less to stay at Richmond instead of going to North Melbourne but we have to all take your word for it don’t we.

Does it pain you that Scott may not have drawn a salary during lockdown? From my perspective if the Club had knocked back Scott’s offer I think we would have heard one way or the other.

 

[Strange Cat]

Is that better or worse than Gary Rohan cheating on his wife and the memory of his dead baby on Geelong's dime? Just to b clear.

Just to be clear I think it’s disgusting that you’re using a dead child as internet point scoring

Putting that aside we are talking about coaches ethics because apparently Scott and the club has been lying about him forgoing his salary for the year to enable the club to keep on staff

You know instead of running around and rooting staff memebers for their own pleasure while abusing the power dynamics between the coach and staff

No PB none of us do know what Martin was paid but the discussion was about Chris Scott and I’m not sure why Dusty was dragged into it. And it’s not my word you have to take because I’ve never said anything about what Martin has or hasn’t been paid.

It all started because a Cat fan said Scott gave up his salary during Covid and gushed over what a good bloke he was. They posted an article that said Scott had ‘pledged’ to forgo his salary. I asked if they knew for certain if he followed through with his pledge. That’s it. I never said at any stage that he didn’t in fact give up the money.

I seem to have upset a few of you and I’m not really sure why. It’s not like I said he killed someone. If he followed through then good on him.

The point is that if someone gets a bit slagged off for ‘allegedly’ doing something dodgy with no proof and it gets refuted with some decent evidence such as the Covid season and then the retort is: ‘well that’s just a claim so I don’t have to believe it’ then people will say ‘well in that case why would anyone believe anything about a claim regarding a player or coach’s salary. Maybe it’s all just made up.’

I’m certain Martin was paid exactly what is claimed im merely stating that once you get into the territory of ‘well I just refuse to believe that because I refuse to believe it’ then it becomes open slather: who’s to say Brisbane weren’t $10 million over the cap in paper bag payments this year and Sydney aren’t the rightful premiers just because that’s what ‘I believe.’

And why was the discussion about Chris Scott in the first place?

BTW, it wasn’t a Cats supporter who first revealed Scott had given up his salary. It was all over the media. And did you hear Scott make a fuss about it or seek the limelight? No, because he remains a private person.

For some reason posters like you just cannot accept the possibility and move on.

And I think it’s disgusting that Dimma’s private life is also used for point-scoring. Which it clearly was. Now you might argue one is worse than the other, but guess what… you don’t decide where that line is.

As I’ve stated I’d rather have personal lives left out of football discussions, but if peanuts want score cheap points they need to be ready to accept return fire. And not sook about it.

In other words: "Every time I see someone acting like a peanut, in a way I disagree with, I will become a peanut myself and replicate their behaviour".

Sophisticated thinking patterns there.

 

[BF Tiger]

You were the one bringing up Scott’s ethics while ignoring the big red glowing neon signs around Dimma’s behaviour so save your faux outrage for the peanut gallery champ

Sorry, please point out where I brought up Scott’s ethics. I think you’ll find you’ve mistaken me for someone else. Of course you could have confirmed that before posting but chose not to. I look forward to your apology and retraction. I love being “champed” as well, especially when you have your facts wrong.

Not replicating their behaviour but shining a light on other poster’s hypocrisy to hopefully make this a better site for all.

As I’ve stated before I’d rather the personal stuff be left at the door, but I will return fire.

You responded. Sorely lacking in any actual evidence however.
Just seems like a lot of misplaced bitterness.
