Geelong rorting the system

[Mr Meow]

Hmm, still not big on females down there are you?
I was really hoping you could have address that before this year.

Please stop behaving like a pig.

With the laid back coastal lifestyle & low number of contact hours at the club..why would any Geelong player ever have an excuse for speeding..twice?
Perhaps he was out looking for his coach.

And on counrty roads.

Smith really needs to watch Dash Cam Videos Australia.

(Maybe we might see his car in the next video or 2)

Maybe he was worried he might be late to the grand final again.

Referring to women as 'females' is sexist nowadays, there's like full on studies and everything about it. Disappointing from you.

Sorry. I must go back to Bailey's footage, to see how to correctly address Women
(both young & old)

Pigs live on farms right?

Now we're trolling victims of bushfires.

Not a very dignified bump so far fellas. I hope we didn't all spend another off-season stewing about Geelong...

So exciting to see my favourite genius! I do hope you've been keeping well and getting the help available.

Bloke is a sovereign citizen and after what he said about the volunteer firefighter do you think anyone has any sympathy for that grub. Karma champ!

We can see your true colours shining through. A very nasty piece of work indeed.

 

[Mr Meow]

To anyone defending speeding such as Mr Meow , shame on you

You work better when Essendon supporters are embarrassing you. There's a suitable thread for that.

The cracks have been starting to show over the past 12-18 months as the net closes in.

Bailey constantly in the media for the wrong things.

Chris doesn’t want to come back to the club.

The house of cards is crumbling.

Nothing wrong with senior AFL coaches taking longer leave? Their assistants can do the job in their absence.

Not sure there is much going on if we are using Chris Scott going on longer leave as a problem? They have leave, they can use it.

Geelong rorting their membership figures now. Sad to see how far the mighty have fallen.

Geelong rorting their membership figures now. Sad to see how far the mighty have fallen.

Still counts as one member. Let me know if anything else still confuses you.

Geelong rorting their membership figures now. Sad to see how far the mighty have fallen.

2025 Membership/ticketing revenue:
Geelong: $27,805,998
--> 92,379 members

Brisbane: $18,410,583
-->75,115 members

Geelong = $301 per member
Brisbane = $245 per member

A lot of the smaller clubs hand out their memberships like lollies to inflate the numbers, some count pets and all kinds of weird stuff. Bears could be one of those with such a low $P/M figure.

p.s. that 'AFL Distribution' figure is staggering, it makes the $$$ North and the Saints get from the AFL look like chump change. With any luck one day QLD will attain a self-sustainable football club and remove itself from the AFL's teet, but that day is certainly not today.

Yeah but 46,000 of Geelong’s members are on the free membership on the buy 1 get 1 free DEAL.

So how much money are the others paying then?

I'll accept your concession this time, but even by your standards this was a very undignified bump.

Thank you for bringing some much needed attention to the AFL assistance distribution numbers. Enlightening stuff.

Honestly it was hard not to notice a number that big. It was a bit of a jump scare.

Just about accountability

Plenty of clubs do that. I don't see an issue with it. Give away a free membership 1 year and hope they renew the next....
