Scandal AFL auditing third party payments from Geelong

The funniest thing about this thread is a bunch of people suddenly think Caro’s a great journalist, and those rebutting are using information from Tom “upstanding citizen” Morris.

Things people will do to justify a position for their own club or against a rival 😂
Caro has some whacky opinions at times but her mail is usually spot on and I don’t think she’s missed yet.
 
If the allegations are true, this is far, far worse than Essendon drug scandal.

Essendon and the people in charge were bumbling fools, that had dreadful record keeping and poor people in charge. They didn’t win anything of substance and some would argue are still dealing with the fallout 11 years later.

Geelong are being accused of systematically rorting the system for close to 10 years and building premiership teams of the back of it. From what I have heard, this is just the start.
They're not being accused of anything of the sort. Wilson herself points this out.

They're subject to routine audit of third party deals (along with Port Adelaide this year) that all clubs go through on a rotating basis.
 
Morris and Caro appear to get legitimate information from somewhere at least, despite how much people dislike them.

Caro says there is audits into third party deals, fails to mention Port Adelaide presumably because it's less of a story. She never even accuses Geelong of anything, only 3 public deals that the AFL may be looking into along with rival club complaints.

Tom Morris clarifies the next day that Port Adelaide is the other club being audited, and a few others to a lesser degree. This happens every year and is normal. Rival clubs also complain about each other consistently.

The 2 reports line up with each other, revealing next to nothing outside of audits are happening. She's probably run with Geelong as it's a bigger headline for clicks, even if not, how has anyone made up their mind one way or the other based on this? They've been given 0 information to suggest they should believe Geelong have or haven't done something wrong. What smoking gun evidence am I missing here?
Less than that, she's at pains to point out Geelong aren't being accused of anything

The mental gymnastics in here by cats fans is delightful. Taste it, the whole comp thinks you’re the biggest modern day cheats and have the shittest culture out.

Whether it’s Dank and doping, dodgy deals with local government to get funding, dodgy property deals, dodgy third party deals, constantly diving for free kicks or hiding thugs and sex criminals from criticism your club is a disgrace.

Taste it.
If Geelong had the shittest culture, why would players want to go there?

Geelong low wages plus the alleged "salary cap rorts" would only put players slightly ahead of market, if that. Are they going to go to a club with shit culture for some pocket change?

Plenty of people don't go to North or Essendon despite being offered well overs

Probably for the above market salaries paid outside the cap and the million dollar farm you get as a signing bonus.
I'd work in a sh*thole if I got a free house and extra cash.

And yet no one wants to go to St Kilda despite throwing mega contracts their way
 
What's that got to do with the price of fish in China?
We're talking about your club being above the law and cheating for close to the past decade.
I guess I have to hold your hand in this one …

You stated that players go to Geelong for above market salaries paid outside the cap , yet the saints offer stupid mega contracts and still get turned down.

Clearly you are unable to grasp the stupidity of your own statements try not choke on those crayons you eat

Two completely different things

Saints can't get nig profile players

Geelong can through allegedly unlawful payments

If proven guilty there will be massive ramifications

Ones legal the other isn't. If you can't figure this out then you may need to take a step back

Nothing has happened , you know it , I know it and the AFL knows it

But keep disputing that despite stupid money being thrown around by the saints players are still choosing to go to Geelong a “shithole”.

Just curious, do you actually believe what you write?
As in you know all this.
Cats players get million dollar farms and are paid over the cap. You know this but the AFL doesn’t and it’s all swept under the carpet?

I see what you did there ...
 
Meh, we won the [emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]]][emoji640] flag, a game that featured some of the smartest and succesful minds in the AFL era and likely the most coaches.
And we won that without help from the Weapons great mate Dank.

Hey I’ve always wondered what drugs Dank gave the Cats boys, it was obviously the complete opposite to what he gave The Bombers as we won a flag by [emoji637][emoji637][emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji6[emoji640][emoji637]]] and Bombers won SFA.
