Geelong rorting the system

[SC_Power]

And how in the **** is a CEO summoned to a player's house an hour out of the city ??

Beyond a joke.

Had to tell BS (initials, pun intended) that he was leading the Brownlow and needed to keep his nose clean (also pun intended) to avoid suspension and any potential awkward conversation on Brownlow night.

Dillon probably wishes more players were as accomodating as our Bailey. Why haven't players from YOUR team invited Dillon over for dinner? The AFL's been getting bashed for weeks now, he probably appreciated the trip to the beautiful Surf Coast to get his mind off things. Could be the start of a lovely new bromance - Baz and Dill.

How do you get ‘summoned’ from this story

It’s exactly the opposite.

‘Hi Andrew, can you come to my house and give me some sort of warning speech about my behaviour? I’m summoning you.’ I’m sure that’s how it unfolded.

The principal usually summons the naughty student to their office.

They dont often make house calls.

Summoned? He arranged the meeting. Duh.

"Bailey we need to talk."

'Okay be at my place on Thurs at 4pm.'

"Sure thing boss !"

‘Hi Geelong guys. I think we need to talk about Bailey, it might be a bit of an idea for us all to get together and talk about a few things. Seeing as there are 5 of you, and 1 of me, I’ll come and see you all in Geelong and we will sit down and talk through it.’

Is there literally anything you won’t soil yourself over? You’re actually getting yourself into a lather about the venue of what sounds like a disciplinary meeting between the head of the sport and a Cats player. Any normal fan would take the chance to say ‘looks like Smith is sailing close to the win and getting himself offside with people who matter.’ Instead you’re crying because he made the coffee at the meeting where he was told the above.

Next it will be the Cats getting first use of the pre-game press conference next time we play you guys because it’s an unfair advantage to be able to fire the first psychological shot in the media or something.

Or you can stick with reality, tough for you granted.

"Dillon organised the meeting after Smith’s social media post last month alluding to illicit drug use saw the Cats and AFL hold robust conversations over the 24-year-old’s behaviour...... Such was the importance of the meeting, Dillon opted to drive 90 minutes for the Surf Coast early on Thursday evening before heading to Marvel Stadium to meet Prime Minister Anthony Albanese."

Bailey Smith hosts secret meeting with AFL CEO and Geelong bosses

Andrew Dillon kept the PM waiting as he rushed down the coast for the fireside gathering.

I heard it was a pretty quick meeting between Bazza and the big Dill.

Dill spent 5 minutes pleading with Bazza to just say no to drugs and then left.

Family intervention for Smithy
How ridiculous. A couple of fingers, joke about some ajax and the family call for an intervention around the bonfire. Did anyone play guitar as they had this critical meeting
But no interventions for others issuing death threats and harm to others.

The Geelong fans in here think the GFC is admired by the football public. Nothing could be further from the truth. Fans know when a club has won with grace and sportsmanship compared with cheating and gaining the system that lacks both grace and sportsmanship compared. The GFC has no admirable qualities, it has some admirable players who haven’t been lead there ($$) from other clubs. Players like Duncan and Guthrie and Myers and guys that have made it the hard way like Mannah. As for the mercenaries, they are what’s wrong with football and society really.

Well said, cheating club with a player recruiter who is the worst kind of human being in Stephen Wells.

Geelong fans and I’m sure GFC itself couldn’t give a **** what a minnow club and their fans think when they’re a drain on the League.

 

[Wojcinski]

the kind of pain GFC has caused has become generational, there are people in their 20s who have never seen Geelong miss the finals for more than a single season in a row. No one under the age of 21 has seen their club have a winning record against Geelong

The melts in this thread are completely justified, sorry to anyone born into a non-Geelong family for the ongoing pain Geelong has caused but it's not gonna stop now

 

[Spearman]

What scandal this meeting is.
i smell corruption all over it.

Darth Bailey is taking over....everything.

Seriously you clowns still haven't bleated why the AFL would be doing this. For a nothing village and club as some seem to describe it. All those highly connected, big Melbourne club members, all ok with it as well?

What you're really saying is that all clubs and the AFL are impotent and all must bow down to your new overlord.

 

[PhatBoy]

AFL rort it for the cats to rort it this is the thing.
AFL would love to gift them a flag 2025 and give Scott one more flag on his way out the door mark my words.
Methinks 2026 the cliff is then all theirs.
But 2025 is its last shot at the flag and the AFL will make sure they win one for good measure.
With Pies i think they can go again 2026 they have a great system and process.
cats will be handed one more this year as said just for good measure and piss off the rest of the comp along with it.

Youthinks a team who’s away record across 2024-25 is good enough to finish around 5th on its own most seasons is proof that they can’t win away from their home ground based on one of your posts a couple of days ago

What youthinks is irrelevant.

Yeah he’s way worse than human rights violators, sex traffickers etc.

 

[Spearman]

Wow it's almost like Dillon is a different guy to Demetriou and Gill. What a concept.

and that the AFL cares about image and marketability...

protecting their image and getting the most marketable and visible player onboard? Nah, not the AFL.

, he's also been fortunate enough to meet the big Bazooka. If he plays his cards right he might even get to meet Danger next.

There was no dinner served at Bazlenka’s place, just cheese and crackers

I've heard Scott always has the good (red) stuff. So natch a popular dinner date.
