Geelong rorting the system

[Art Vandelay_]

that's funny when I was there they were a bunch of inbred weirdos proving the theory of evolution doesn't apply in Geelong.

Even money odds that JUH and a draft pick go to Geelong next season.

 

[WeaponX]

All BS aside its pretty well common knowledge that Geelong pay players outside the cap, for the evenness of the competition they have to have penalties like Essendon got for doping. Make them pay and pay hard, nothing less than fining the club 5 years worth of draft picks only outside the top 100..which could help Tassie as well.

Aaaand we're back. Geelong must've had a good win on the weekend!

You should be more worried about your No9

Were Adam Simpson's three Hungry Jack's franchises included in the soft cap?

Did anyone see the Midweek Tackle just now? Scotty Gullan talked about how former Geelong Chief Operating Officer Simon Kelleher is the bloke at the AFL in charge of any audits, so we've got a former Geelong guy working with Steve Hocking looking at a period of time when he himself was in charge of Geelong's finances. Bamboozled everyone once again.

Not worried.

In all likelihood we’ve blown our shot at a flag and don’t have any land to give away. Even our McDonalds franchises ran out long ago.
We won’t bottom out, but probably will drop down into St Kilda purgatory for the next 6-8 years during the Tasmanian dynasty. Wouldn’t blame him for leaving, but you won’t get him for nothing like Bowes, Stengle, Henry, Smith, etc.

He bought them himself, so I guess not.

We don't just pull a few strings in this comp.
We pull all of them.

Yikes. I hate Collingwood and Carlton with a passion but would never want either of them booted from the competition.

Geelong I don’t hate nearly as much, but for the integrity of the competition, I wouldn’t give two shits if they were given the flick. Would feel for their fans, but as a football club they are nothing short of a cheating disgrace. They’ve been rotten for years and it’s all coming to the surface.

Is this for real?

I'll say it again, even if the AFL have finally 'cottoned-on', they will do nothing about it.

Why would I dislike your mob apart from the cheating part? We pulled your pants down in three finals (including a GF).

I hate the fellow big boys. Carlton, Collingwood and Essendon. That’s the way it always will be.

You guys joined the GFL, if you don't like it you can leave.

I highly doubt they'll kick themselves out of the GFL

Head of the GFL - Uncle Steve - Has made the call to HQ and this is all over.

“My prediction is we won’t hear anything (from the audit), because the AFL still hasn’t told us that they’re actually looking at Geelong. So, I think it’ll go away.”

You never go full Yes Minister.

In hilarious scenes reminiscent of that great British sitcom Yes Minister, the AFL in its infinite wisdom has decided the best person fitted to the task of finding absolutely nothing wrong with the gloriously corrupt system of paying players & staff outside the salary & soft caps....which has been employed by Geelong FC on an exponentially growing basis.....is the very person who conspired to design the finer points of that model, Geelong FC's former COO Simon Kelleher.

What a pathetic and corrupt league we follow

We need Elon and Doge to have a thorough investigation. Not this self referential trash.
