Geelong rorting the system

[Xtreme]

I like shrews. It wasn't an insult.

Thats exactly what someone that is jealous of my popularity (as my thoughts on pop culture, sport and politics are spot on) would say!

Shrewd observation.

Brisbane 2025 best 23's original draft status:

Rayner - pick 1
Ah Chee - pick 8
Hipwood - pick 14
Bailey - pick 15
Lohman - pick 20
Morris - pick 31
Cameron- rookie draft
McCluggage - pick 3
W.Ashcroft - F/S gift (pick 2)
L.Ashcroft - F/S gift (pick 5)
Berry - pick 17
Dunkley - pick 25
Neale - pick 58
Fletcher - pick 12
Zorko - pre-list
Wilmot - pick 16
Starcevich - pick 18
Lester - pick 28
Coleman - pick 37
Andrews - pick 61
Payne - pick 54
Answerth - pick 55
Fort - pick 65

11x top-18 picks, 4x top-5's and only 1 from the rookie draft (Adelaide's)!

Much pricier. Must have involved tanking for a while I reckon. A rort against integrity of the competition.

Interesting isn’t it. Brisbane utilise legal mechanisms to rebuilding while the mighty catters resort to [redacted].

GO Catters

GO Catters

Redacted = rookie draft. Try it sometime.

15 of the Cats best 23 = pick 30 or later, or rookie drafted.

Alternatively, 11x top 18 picks is a scary amount of high end Lions talent from Father Son gifts and prolonged tanking. 2024 asterisk flag unlocked.

I am very astute in my musings

How are you paying all those first round pick players who aren’t from QLD big dollars?
Is this the early 2000’s all over again.
Every week seems like a new deal is being struck.

If I had to pick the more expensive list it’d easily be Brisbane.

The lions are a little different. Grandpa fagan has untold powers of persuasion and the players LOVE playing for him. I’ve heard some would play for him for free if they could.

The people posting that this club or that club are ‘minnows’ are just moronic. Who cares whether your club is big, medium or smaller, or a micro start up? It means stuff all, and says more about the poster’s inferiority complex. We all love and defend our clubs. Some even defend them when they’re cheating the system.

Very true.
Perhaps Geelong supporters have forgotten, or were too young to understand, that the club was broke around 2000 -1, and that, without a "white knight" or two, were headed for insolvency and perhaps even the inability to continue in the competition.

Never think more highly of yourself than you ought.
Things can change very quickly.

Because that's all this thread is. People can't fathom that the little old Cats are simply a pretty well run organisation these days. It's rort this, cheating that, corruption and conspiracies. The net is closing in. Oh wait, an AFLW's car paperwork wasn't lodged. Well I guess the evidence of all the juicy stuff was burned.

The net is indeed closing in...

Saints call for end to NSW, Qld Academies as part of draft overhaul

St Kilda officials have ramped up their push for draft reform in a submission to the AFL Commission

www.afl.com.au

ST KILDA has stepped up its bid for a draft overhaul, calling on the AFL to abolish the northern Academies before this year's draft and replace them with Next Generation Academy zones.

AFL.com.au can reveal that Saints president Andrew Bassat and chief executive Carl Dilena fronted the AFL Commission last week and, as part of their club update, presented a range of recommendations to improve the equality of the draft.

The Saints said that the AFL's current review of the NGA zones, which is set to be tabled to the AFL Commission in August as North Melbourne loses its Tasmania zone with the proposed entry of the Devils, should see Gold Coast, Brisbane, Sydney and Greater Western Sydney have their northern Academy access changed to be in line with other clubs' NGA status where they only get priority access to Indigenous and multicultural players in their regions.

Nepobabies, you're getting shunted by St. Kilda of all people...

Damn we were so close to B2B asterisks.

That was Caroline Wilson saying that and not anyone important.

St Kilda has been on about this for years. The only thing it gets them is a terrible fixture from the afl.

Little bit of trivia: Dusty (5.0) averaged more turnovers per game than Dangerfield (4.6) has.

I agree mostly with what St Kilda people are saying but I can't take it seriously because st kilda

I wasn't comparing dusty to danger you turkey. It was a joke, you know a bit of levity. Danger is a legend. Do you actually think I believe that?

Why can't we joke about all players who have turned the ball over a lot? You're a comedy gatekeeper.

Having Austin Powers style promiscuous dalliances, while telling tales of footy heroics denying Geelong their "rightful" premierships in 2017, 2019 and 2020!
