Scandal AFL auditing third party payments from Geelong

[Munich]

Haha a car and an AFLW player.

Other clubs have been fined for the same thing.

Good work pitch fork brigade.

Best part is she said “investigation” is closed, Cats were adamant it was a nothingburger and it’s proven to be?….a nothingburger.

Shut the threads mods, Cats dominating and living rent free forever UNDER the salary cap.

So for future reference all jokes pertaining to 'Cotton On' or 'free farms' will be fact checked by yours truly. In the spirit of keeping BigFooty.com factually correct all jokes must now be limited to 'a car to a senior AFLW player that wasn’t lodged'.

Thank you Carowhine for getting to the bottom of this and clearing our impeccable name!

You mean to tell me, the club that has time and time again courted players with a long standing suspicion that it there were under the table deals turns out to have actually HAD discrepancies in their payments and it's all just a coincidence and all they get is a fine?

Absolutely protected by the AFL. Disgusting.

All suspicion has now been cleared. One of our AFLW players was driving around in a lovely Ford for a week or so with the club failing to inform the AFL of her current vehicle arrangement. We have no choice but to cop our punishment and hope to win back the trust of the footballing world.

Oh no! An AFLW player got a car, this is totally unheard of and never has been done by any men’s teams in recent memory

Adelaide lost two years of first and second round draft picks for this exact same withing with Tippet. Let's see if the AFL treat Geelong as the same.

 

[unplugged]

So which of the third party contributors are going to pay these said $10,000 fines?

But it’s not the same thing, that’s what’s hilarious about it.
Cats were cleared lol

I hope we make it an oversized cheque from Cotton On.
It’s like a drop in a rain bucket for Nigel to cover

 

[Byron_Clanger]

Yeah not surprised, like, at all

 

[1990crow]

Has to be loss of draft picks for 2 years.

It's the same thing.

 

[fpm84]

It's the same thing.

Evidence A - Crows/Tippett:

'The charges stemmed from the contract that Tippett signed with Adelaide in 2009, which made him the Crows' highest-paid player.

Adelaide allegedly agreed to trade him to a club of his choice for a second-round draft pick - a massively lopsided arrangement - when the contract finished at the end of 2012.

The Crows allegedly made a further payment of up to $200,000 to Tippett outside the salary cap.'

Evidence B - Geelong third party deals:

“We’re not saying that there was any cheating, that there was any attempt to cheat the salary cap,” Wilson said.

"The AFL have told Geelong and other clubs, this is that there’s been a loosening of management issues at many clubs, and a warning will be given to all clubs with a crackdown on third party payments."

One of these things is not like the other....

Sheer corruption worse then asada. Tainted culture.

If afl did some digging they could likely find Geelong being funded by evil entities. Wouldn't be surprised if it's middle east

Culturally they are Al Nassr. What a disgrace the Manchester City cats are. Or Al nassr cats

 

[ams4crows]

Mackie must be the most Elite Administrator in the comp if he's managed the list in such a way that there are no ties from the club itself to players acquiring third party deals for themselves.

Maybe he has a via my mouth only so it's never written down.

 

[Mr north man]

The AFL are bunch of weak scum if it’s Geeling,GWS or North who have done the wrong thing whether it’s Salary Cap Payments or anything Else which brings the game into dispute this should happen.
1:Taking the Premiership off that club if it happens in a premiership year then the premiership becomes Vacent.
2:Any Officials or Player or Players involved in bringing the game into dispute Suspended for 2 years.
3:Club to be stripped of 92 Match points.
4:If Player or Players who involved in bringing the game into dispute who win a major Award Eg:AA selection or Brownlow to be stripped of this award.
5:Club involved in bringing game into dispute are disqualified from the Draft for Round 1 and 2 of the National Draft for 3 years.
6:No Father/Son selections for 3 years.
This should be industry standard for all clubs.
But AFL won’t have the guts to do this as they are a weak woke bully boy organisation.

If the cats are willing to risk it all to give a car to an aflw player ( for a programs as an industry whole that loses money ) , what are they willing to do for the afl team

Geelong joins Essendon in escaping the club being burned to the ground thanks to corruption.

 

[javaguice]

It certainly puts the integrity of the entire club into question.

We basically give Fords away, other teams do much worse for the MEN’s teams and have been caught doing it and yet….nothing.

Geelong is an easy target, Caro is a salty Tigers flog

Did you say the same when Brisbane, Tigers, Saints and Bulldogs got done for the same in recent years?

No?

Move along then

More to than likely other teams are into it aswell,

But other teams also don’t roll out the “ our players play for less for the good of the club “ tripe year in year out

Hahahaha oh **** off you did. What a load of tripe
