Geelong rorting the system

It wouldn't require them knowing a leading contender was going to win. They may just for eg have wanted to ensure there was no chance of him failing to win due only to suspension.

The AFL routinely manipulate everything. The idea they would risk outrage over something as high profile is ridiculous.

The irony is that incident probably gets used in the lawsuit as an example of the AFL not doing enough to reduce head injuries.

But the current mob will be long gone by the time courts hand down final decisions on those.
 
Why are Geelong supporters so pissy when people call them out on their clubs obvious paying outside the soft cap? I would be proud if my club had that many financial resources. Yeah we’re rich, **** you.

I haven’t read the rest of the thread but has anyone mentioned Geelong, whilst Hocking was within the AFL boys club, orchestrating a deal where they identified a loophole and were allowed to acquire Bowes’ large contact and then smooth it out? All whilst collecting an extremely generous pick 8 in the bargain? By the time any other club cottoned-on (pardon the pun) at the ridiculousness of this situation Bowes (& pick 8) was already signed, sealed and delivered.

The Handbaggers are AFL media darlings however, and will always get a free pass.

Ah yes, the conspiracy where the suns set the terms of the deal and Bowes could have picked any club. Cloak and dagger work from Hocking there.
 
Surely the academy zone for the only country Vic team is Vic Country

Just flatten out that V to a hoop and add a couple more

That's what you should be playing in, a Vic country league based in the west of the state and possibly including Mt Gambier. You wouldn't even have to cheat to lose Preliminary Finals at that level.

Its happening again


Makes you wonder how much money we were paying kents in brown paper bags for the AFL to come down on us when they let s*** like this slide on the daily for the Cats?

Just another chapter in the 'Geelong follow a different rule book to the rest of the league' series. Every person down in that backwater marsh knows about the property deals and pubs, add Cotton On and now this and it's just beyond laughable.
 
But half the league hasn't outscored you 10 v 1 in finals.

However you are correct, Cats beaten in finals doesn't only happen when they meet the Tigers. It happens regardless.

When we meet you in them again in half a millennium we’ll remember to get upset about it. In the meantime the rest of the competition can have at it.

When every other club opened their books, came clean, stopped doing the brown paper bags thing and instead moved to other dodgy methods, Carlton's thing was to keep going with the brown paper bags.

Elliot had a massive ego, but wasnt very bright.
 
I'm glad you finally made it to the accurate observation, that your team isn't special

Our team has set itself apart from others, but not for that reason.

This thread is about the Cats rort network though, so people don't want to be reading details of how a humble club from the inner south east of Melbourne courageously overcame all sorts of unfair barriers to register the last ever dynasty.
