What is Geelong guilty of exactly ??
Surely creating a club culture that makes them an attractive destination coupled with the lifestyle options they can offer prospective players is not a hanging offence
All they have done is used their "unique selling points" to target specific players who want those things, I'm sure there would be plenty of players who wouldn't that they don't talk to.
On the flipside, many non-Cats fans (I'm one of them too) are dubious about their ability to fit all of their huge salaries in the cap. Thing is, unless they have some super-dooper secret activities behind the scenes that are undetectable, they play within the same rules as the other clubs but just seem to be better at it. Again, no hangng offence there.
If the other clubs are not happy about how successful Geelong are onfield and their ability to continually attract high-end players, maybe they should be reviewing their own inhouse measures & structures to try and emulate them instead of sooking up. Stop loking at them and start looking internally, its the only way you will ever improve.
Yes, it really sh1ts me to see Geelong go about their stuff every year but they are a well-run club, it's only the ongoing woe-is-us petty whinges from jealous non-Cats fans that make this is a bigger issue than it really is.
I wouldn’t have thought Cats had the most expensive list in the league. Surely if they were so clearly rorting the cap then their name would be permanently at the top of each year’s ladder predictor. Especially given how they’re universally accepted to be extremely well run and have league leading footy dept. How could they be predicted to finish anywhere but top, and yet they’re routinely not.
