Is anyone surprised?

Cats been doing it for years and Gary JNR was paid millions by a real estate agency wasnt he when in his prime?

Most clubs have these shady deals but Cats do not even try to hide it seems!

Dunno, he was at th Gold Coast in his prime and the AFL paid him millions outside the cap for that

To the absolute surprise of no one.....

Needs to be serious punishments from this, as i have no doubt this is still continuing at that club every year.

 

[frggr]

LOL poorly run clubs having a cry to the AFL about Geelong managing their salary cap

If 'the rumours' are true and the biggest piece of evidence is Joel Selwood's name on an unsigned, unexectured contract, then I think we're going to be alright

Punishments for? They haven't found anything

Smith has never played a game for Geelong, no one gave two ____ ‘s when he played for the dogs, but now it’s bleedingly obvious it’s suspect cos it’s at Geelong??

 

[Bald]

Hopefully Bont accepts 800k and a life time supply of corn chips for his next contract.

Need a third party firm with high integrity and financial expertise to carry out the audit. Reckon I know just the place.

You'd hope so. Coming to a conclusion based on an incomplete audit would be weird.

Don't worry man just a few more smiley faces and you'll adequately convey just how unbothered you are about all this.

 

[Strange Cat]

Nawww look at you all getting so excited over nothing as usual

 

[iambrilliant]

I’m shocked to be reading this

Cotton On aren’t one of our sponsors. Who’s to say he isn’t now receiving more money from Cotton On, or whether there are now additional incentives.

I’m not suggesting anything for what it’s worth, but surely you can see holes in the “he played for the dogs” argument..

I'm not actually bothered - I use emojis a lot

Caro herself in the video says "There are audits going on, with third party payments, around the competition" (ie it's not just Geelong and it's not an 'investigation', just an audit)

She then goes on to say "it's interesting because of the recent Morris Finance stuff" blah blah.

So, there are:

• Audits going on around the competition for third party player payments
• One of the clubs is Geelong
• Geelong is 'newsworthy' in this regard because of the recent Morris Finance stuff and all the opposition clubs and supporters whining about Geelong being able to manage their salary cap.

The AFL is to say because they have to tick off the agreement

Once the AFL with the help of Morris give us the all clear that'll be us done with a coaching soft-cap investigation and a player salary-cap audit. Geelong 'squeaky clean' Cats - arbiters of justice and all that is good in this world distilled into the most successful aussie rules football club of the 21st century.

Christ, I hope the Crows have double checked their Balfours deals this time

Bloody hell, just get a Vilis deal and be done with it.

Also, FUIC Strong needs to head East

If the AFL had their eyes over every deal that was done they’d have no reason to do audits.
