Geelong rorting the system

[Seeds]

Geelong will be an appealing destination as long as regional living remains affordable.

Sydney recieved cost of living allowance (COLA) for years to help compensate for high Sydney property prices.

I think it's time the AFL implement do the exact opposite for Geelong and slash their salary cap.

So you want geelong players to have a lower ability to earn wealth then other clubs?

Not enough you steal our home games you now want to steal money from our clubs players. Hardly a shocker from the club that bought the 1995 premiership. When are you giving that back to us by the way?

The bias here is all out in the open. Disgusting.

Weapon/Dank
Conflict of interest gate
Cheat Ground
Good bloke discount for ko'ing a player way out of the play in concussion era
Danger/Hawkins nothing to see here when they almost killed players who were playing the ball
nobody can remember Geelong ever getting any sort of unfair treatment from AFL decision makers.

That should keep you happy for a while.

unfair treatment? How about the fact we play our home games against you at your home ground? And collingwood and hawthorn and carlton. We just played brisbane in our home final in a foreign city. Cognitive dissonance is just outstanding. No unfair treatment!!! F**** me.

Could also point to the afl bringing in the stops blicavs rule to stop him going up as a second ruck.

The ridiculous suspension of chapman for the 2013 prelim handing hawthorn the win by under a kick, hawkins getting weeks for the stomach punch while cotchin and martin got off for far worse the week before, tom hawkins getting suspended for the 2019 prelim handing richmond the premiership when everyone else would of got off, mooney getting a free againdt for a perfectly fine tackle as ling kicked the goal giving what should of been the victory in the 2010 final, the utter umpire bias against us in this years prelim that was a disgrace. I could go on and on.

You already did go on and on. Like a 2 bob watch.

Hawkins lol. Quite apart from his suspension being open and shut guilty, he played 2 finals against Richmond for 2 goals total and zero contested marks. ZERO. Tigers completely had his measure yet you think he magically grows a heart if he plays in the 2019 PF.

Blicavs lol. Like Geelong really needed stopping with that rule. How many Grand Finals did they make due to draft horse Blicavs going 3rd man up?

Cats at a huge disadvantage playing home games at a ground they regularly play home games on it seems. They play 1/3rd of their matches there but it is a big disadvantage.

Cats fans crying is nothing new. But the big news here is the normally fair minded Seeds has turned Uber sook. I suppose if you barrack for a low life cheating club long enough there is always a chance it rubs off on you.

You accusing another supporter group of crying is like Jeffrey Dahmer calling a vegetarian’s diet ‘odd.’

You are the biggest sook not only on this site, but based on the fact that you genuinely believe what you say, I’d wager in all of the southern, and quite possibly northern hemisphere if it ever came to it.

I didn't read. What did you say?

I doubt you’d have the capacity.

Geelong aren't rorting. They're not frauds. Sure they maximise their advantages, which can double edged swards if not managed well. They happen to one of the best run clubs in the comp. In every department. If I were a rival club I'd be chasing their IP, which Richmond's done this year by securing one of their experienced high performance staff. We'll see how that works out for us.

EFA: Geelong are a pack of cheating campaigners

 

[STPer18]

Hearing Hawthorn had this planned a long way out as a way to pay him a lower salary. Well played.

 

[Pragmatic Shill]

 

[Purple Suit]

Do the Saints have enough money to do deals outside the cap?

 

[Bushdid911]

AFL has set the precedent now with allowing all this murky sponsorship/outside employment stuff. It will likely turn into the next AFL arms race.

I'm sure Geelong people won't be complaining if they lose anyone to this.

 

[STPer18]

AFL need to investigate Rossy and the Saints. Sounds like there's some seriously dodgy third party deals in the works there. I'd be starting with Red Rooster.

 

[WillHayward]

AFL needs to develop clearer rules about financial deals outside the SC - so everyone can understand and it is transparent for everyone to see.

Murky? LOL. Geelong has never concealed what it has done.

Even the Chris Scott arrangement was ticked off by the AFL and then reinvestigated when Mitch Cleary tried to make a new story out of it.

 

[Strange Cat]

Salty clubs and supporters just want a bogeyman to point to in order to deflect as to why they are so bad with their culture, Salary Cap and player development

Just be better it’s simple …Scott has been in that role for years the only thing that changed was his job title.

There's just a lot of opinions out there based on "I Reckon" - plus, of course, a healthy amount of shitstirring, which is all fair enough and part of the game.

It would be somewhat risky to dish out under the table money or land deals to players in the modern era. This isn't the 1970s, where you could hold a year's wages in a paper bag.

It's the 2020's, where you can hold a lifetime's wages on a USB stick.

What exactly does that mean? You can’t buy anything with a usb stick

 

[Walter H White]

I've heard when they go to the strippers, the stripper gives the player money.

Fancy restaurants let them pay with monopoly money.

The waves at the beach make themselves better on days they don't have to go to training.

Cars are fitted with transmitters giving them more green lights.

In church, they take from the collection plate, you'll notice the guy carrying it always looks away when he gets to a Geelong player.

Some TABs will pay them the win dividend when their horse places.

I even think the fish and chip shops slip them a few extra potato cakes in their orders.


All seems like petty stuff, but it all adds up

The Geelong Cats are just running their own protection racket over all of the city of Geelong.

This is the real Geelong Cats they don't want you to know about:

Crypto wallet loaded with say 50 BTC.

If Cotton On release a crypto coin then the rest of the league might as well give up.

....and a nice pay raise.

Selfish man indeed, did you see how much he was getting paid during Covid?

 

[TiggerMan22]

Depends, are we including under the table payments or not?

 

[Strange Cat]

He gave up his salary so the club could keep the staff…Nice try

 

[Footy Smarts]

I hear Jacob Molier already has a house and land package on its way which is why no other club went near him on draft night.
