They may have received the Vic team exemption, but it would be a big risk for Geelong to rely on that happening with the chance of severe penalties.I have silently agreed with most of your arguments but you are talking about the same AFL that brushed over Geelongs oops Trade of draft numbers.
The other clubs kicked up a stink over the draft picks, the AFL was able to get out of sanctioning Geelong by saying "our bad", if Geelong pulled a dodgy deal with Danger like suggested other clubs would have been with us in complaining, and the AFL wouldn't have the same out. There would have been huge pressure to take action and IMO Geelong would have copped a big whack.
