The reason your club was audited this year was because dumb dumb Oliver told Melbourne officials about Geelong’s offer not realising what he was telling the Melbourne officials. And Melbourne immediately went to the AFL.

The audit was a routine one? They happen every single year. They pick out two clubs per year to be the more thoroughly investigated ones then the other group they do follow ups on. This year was Port and Geelong.

That’s the PR line yes

So if Geelong was openly flaunting these dodgy land deals or whatever, why do you hand-waive the results of the audit coming back with no case to answer? I thought Geelong was openly flaunting it?

the only outstanding issue was a VFWL player got given a rental car for a day that didn't get accounted for, so pretty terrible outcome

The AFL has apparently switched the focus of the audit to try to locate the elusive adversity referred to in Chris Scott's post Grand Final press conference. So far they have uncovered one 50-50 free kick paid against the Cats in round 6 and a local Police crackdown on ecstasy and cocaine supply that badly impacted some Geelong players. So they are finding some real adversity there, Scott wasn't making it up.

AFL still hasnt announced the penalty Caro said was coming back in July.

Waiting til after the Draft is done and everyone is onto cricket.

The penalty? She explicitly had to state that there was no salary cap cheating because she didn’t want to get into trouble for lying about a very serious issue 😂

An VFLW player car not being lodged is not the smoking gun you guys think it is.

Brisbane for example got done for actually breaching TPP (you know the actual salary cap in 2017) and all they got was a 10k fine, Saints, Dogs, Crows are other recent examples and that was actual salary cap breaches for their Senior AFL teams not unrelated stuff.

If stuff like a VFLW player’s car lease is a MAJOR fine brought up by Caro trying to pump up as the worst of it then boy you guys are gonna be realllly disappointed 😂

She said there would be a financial penalty. Why wouldnt the AFL just announce it?

Then in 2020 they let Martin run riot with Dangerfield stuck at FF.
Problem is what could they have done about Martin anyway?

They had no match-up that could go with him. too strong too powerful the way he pushed Kolodjashnij around and was kicking 60 meters skidders, was absolutely insane.
 
But seriously, the lack of competitiveness against Brisbane was so out of character. I can’t remember Geelong having that bad a day in a long time.

2021 Prelim? Lost by 80 points.
Went on to win Premiership the next year.

We don’t dwell on doom and gloom because we know it could be much worse and we’ve won 4 AFL Premiership.
Only behind Brisbane and Hawks in AFL era (only era that matters in professional context, athletes of yesteryear playing VFL would get dominated by modern day athletes)

Look at how Port, Sydney and GWS performed in Grand Finals…

Yet again a Geelong supporter trying to disown the club's pathetic long history. Meanwhile others like Colin Carter are trying to re-write it.

You're just mad Colin couldn't find any premierships down the back of the couch for your mob, meanwhile he's about to add seven to our tally!

Is Colin the GOAT? :eekv1:
