Those in charge don't want the dynasty continuing. The purpose of the League is to encourage gambling and as a bread and circus distraction from the state of ultimately more important things and one club being too dominant is not helpful in either sense. In short, Gill may run footy, but that doesn't mean he truly has to care about it. He's there to implement an agenda.
He did kick it & they were still 2 goals behind. An all time classic.Bet Chris Scott wishes he could delete that “if he kicks this we win” from the 2020 GF
Check out SHockings entire Football CV & see what u can find. Let us know how you go.
This is quiet smething, have u got a link to the interview where this was said?
How Scott defied self-doubt to deliver 'really ambitious' flag dream
When Chris Scott was appointed Geelong coach, he made a pledge to go all-in on winning the flag every single season

It is quite something alright. Not one peep from anyone about it. Just me on page 24 of the Steven Hocking Conflict of Interest thread.
Steven Hocking Conflict of Interest
I will openly state my agenda here. At least three of Stephen Hocking’s responsibilities in his role as General Manager Football Operations are clearly conflicted by his history and links with the Geelong Football Club. The first, and most important in my opinion, is his role in directly...

Cats fans response predictable. Nobody else seems to care. Reminds me of the time I was sacked without reason from a bank funded position working for a charity in the UK. I was only working in the position for altruistic reasons, to help people. My colleagues could not believe I was sacked, they believed the work I was doing to be of great benefit. We enquired with the people responsible for the decision, no explanation - and given I had only been there a short time, employment law required no explanation. We got our heads together and realised quickly what was happening. The people responsible intended to pay my wages to a fictitious identity and make false reports that the work that was being completed. We went to the bank who funded the position. They did not care. We went to the local Member of Parliament, he did not care either, only moreso. We went to the Police. They did not care. We went to the Charity Commission, you guessed it, they did not care. The funding for the position went on and people within the organisation were confirming to us that nobody was in the position and no work was being done by anybody in relation to the position. I considered contacting the local media, but in the end decided against it because I did not want to have a public profile.
So somebody stole the salary for the position without the slightest scrutiny from 4-5 different organisations whose proper role it was to scrutinise such things. In the end, even I barely cared, I was onto my next venture which was much more for my benefit. But if it didn't happen to me, I would probably not have believed it possible. Similarly, I can sort of guess why nobody seems interested in the blindingly obvious Steven Hocking conflict of interest. But it is still difficult to believe it has escaped any real scrutiny bar my little thread on BF.

Gary Lyon wants a Goodwin statue after one flag.
Gees,they very quickly forget the mighty Tigers.
Then we got the “state of the game” diatribe by Whateley.
No mention of that after a dour grand final last year,no,all hidden under the rug.

Chris Scott had a go at the way we played football after the premiership then Shocking studied Richmond and changed rules to hinder us.

The AFL has gone to shit. Literally gets worse every year.
Hopefully a new, non boys club CEO can save the game.

thanks 4 the courteous response.
yet you haven't provided one. no one connected to the club has asserted the conspiracy nonsense. sure some believe the stand rule has had a big effect but no one has put it was exclusively aimed at us. whereas i believe it has had more 2 do with injuries 2 key players, drop off in form of others, and in some cases ,poor team selection.
i just loathe copping what a pack of whingers we are. if u don't get it u should get out more. my response is to listen to what the club says not the hangers-on. and that we are good enough club 2 overcome it as others have.

OK, I'm a very progressive type. but this is getting totally stupid. How about the premiers get the premiership, like we've always done.

of course the club isn't gonna whinge publicly about the corrupt bullshit. It's a lose lose situation for them. But we're fans and we don't have to worry about keeping up appearances
have a chat to old mate Dimma once he retires and he'll confirm to you what a corrupt piece of shit Steve Hocking is, I 100% guarantee it. he already half cracked it in the B&F speech last year
it's more of a conspiracy theory to believe the AFL didn't deliberately try to **** the tigers repeatedly

I can totally relate to that tale. And, unfortunately, I can even better it substantially with my own. Or worsen it, as the case would be. I still speak out but at least the obligatory death threat never eventuated to much, possibly partly because nobody much listens anyway. Most ordinary Australians who say they support whistleblowers are kidding themselves. They wouldn't recognise a real one if they fell over him. It's often a 'him', by the way.
No journo ever comes near me, for that matter.

Nobody connected with the club could speak openly about this if they did believe it, unless they could prove it to be true. There are defamation laws for a start, not to mention other considerations such as not wanting to be seen to be making excuses etc.
Another point is you are falling for the gaslighting being aimed at our supporters. To notice and state that Steven Hocking for eg operated as AFL Footy Operations Manager with an obvious conflict of interests, which he later completely franked by taking up the CEO position at Geelong, is not a conspiracy theory. That much requires no conspiracy at all.
But what I believe Chris Scott has done is shown that they were conspiring to Geelong's benefit while Hocking was in his AFL role. Therefore it becomes a conspiracy in fact, not in theory.
Richmond's demise I agree with you is much more to do with other inevitable things but that is an entirely separate matter. As you say we will also get the chance to adjust to current rules like every other club. Geelong got that chance before any other club, because they are essentially rules designed by their current CEO, who was according to Scott in talks with Scott and Wells "all the way through." It would stretch credibility beyond its breaking point to imagine that Hocking was not taking input from Scott about the rule changes during those discussions. And I don't mean broad input that all coaches may have had, fine detail that was only sprung on other clubs at the last possible moment it could have been.
I would rather speak the truth and cop the gaslighting than accept the laughably flawed machinations of the AFL on face value as presented by the AFL and football media.

if we win the club championship, the afl will just tax the 1 mill and give it to the minnow clubs again
As I have learned, it is not confined to Australia. But this country has definitely altered over the last generation or so to conform to what we might call international standards. Or international lack of standards.
