Geelong rorting the system

[STPer18]

It is an idiot, but it it knows what is good for itself. If you want to be a footy media whore in this town, you do not criticise Geelong FC.

Thought even you guys would have realised that by now...hang on, don't tell me you actually believe all the Cats ramping media fluff pieces.

A lot of people would call you a crazy nutter, but not me - I too know how deep these rorts run.

Oppo fans irrationally frothing at the mouth about the club I support is the only good thing about the off-season.
Thank you all for your contributions. It means a lot.

You are welcome. You clearly don't love oppo fans hating your club because you rush to defend them wherever possible. It doesn't really matter what you tell us, but you probably should be more honest with yourself.

 

[My Tilly]

Lol about one a year over the last 10 years. Cats 2.5 times that.

Math is obviously not a strong suit of yours.

Cats are the garbage collectors of the AFL.

I promise you I do get a kick out of all the tortured whining of oppo fans about my club, but I'm also happy to point out inconsistencies/hypocrisies in their arguments.

Are these things mutually exclusive?

I wonder if this is a Bailey Smith type chase where we get our man.

Or is it more a Jacob Hopper chase where we convince another team to massively overpay and set themselves back years?

You are a fool for doing the latter if the former is true.

Cool story. Based on something that didn't ever happen though.

Showed him an offer he couldn't refuse
Our latest rort has got the jimmies rustled here...

Just keep winning and winning as the #cfl and #GeelongMediaMafia cheer us on STPer18

Nothing wrong with being a happy fool. Keep frothing ;-)

What's the deal with Rowell and grass? Feel like I missed a memo.

I think he heard Willie Rioli won a flag on the grass and didn't dive any further into the matter

How is it always, and I literally mean ALWAYS Geelong? This is an honest question. Do they pay these players $100,000 a season or something?

Firstly, we don't pay players to play for other clubs like Collingwood have been doing with Treloar and Grundy.
This goes a long way when it comes to banking cap space so we can pay players to play for us.
We hold players to their contract (eg Tim Kelly, Esava Ratugolea) so we don't have to pay them to play for the opposition.

Secondly, we don't throw ridiculous amounts of money at free agents like Richmond did with Lynch and Sydney did with Franklin.
Remember when Dangerfield came to us on $800k a year? Crows were offering him a contract worth $1m per year hence why we facilitated a trade for him, even though he was a free agent.

Thirdly, we don't chase contracted players.
We wait for players to come out of contract because it costs more to trade for contracted players than uncontracted players.
Deledio, Watts, Stringer, Oliver are a few recent examples of contracted players wanting to come to us, we had to say no because they would have cost us too much and unbalanced our salary cap.
Bowes is the exception to this because we restructured his contract, so it wouldn't unbalance our salary cap.

Thanks for using our balls up once to justify it all. Both are off the books but were ****ed forever now

Do you ask that question with a straight face? Didn’t you see the recent report where a sponsor was going to ‘borrow’ $100,000 off Joel Selwood and was going to pay him 15% interest for the privilege? I mean .. WTF??

And a man who has said senior coaching takes you to hell and back and isn’t a job for just anyone, requiring 24/7 heart and soul … takes up a well paid position with one of their major sponsors just for a bit of ‘part time’ work on the side …

Frank Costa owns half of Geelong …. Do the math.

For starters Knights, Chaplin and Houli were earlier than that. Not sure how many other errors his lists have, but let’s wait for a non-fiction list before reviewing.

I sense a lot of anger in this post. But I don't understand why. We let you have Hopper after all. Did that mean nothing to you?

Seek help bro. Legit every thread involving Geelong and your name is plastered all over it

I just can’t quite recall the investigation into Selwood’s loan deal with a sponsor, that’s all. And I can’t recall the integrity unit getting involved with Stengle’s 3am OD… maybe I missed it.. although I’m told he’s just had one too many … can’t recall the last time I needed an ambulance after one too many….Or when do we hear the media outcry over Atkins physically and mentally crushing someone in a car crash - imagine that was Balta behind the wheel … ? Or the Catter draftee getting a little punchy with a chick.

I can’t quite recall suspensions or integrity investigations down the Highway….

However, I didn’t miss the GWS players getting multi-week suspensions for playing dress-ups up at a private function.

With the way Richmond's offseason incidents are going i'd probably choose to sit this one out big fella.
There's a whole thread dedicated to it and Tigers are in the Lead lol

Like when Gary Ablett changed clubs.
And Lance Franklin.
And Jason Horne-Francis.
And Brodie Grundy
And Tom Mitchell
And Luke Jackson
And Adam Cerra
And Tim Kelly
And Steven May
And Lachie Neale
And Jaeger o’Meara
And Dion Prestia
And Shai Bolton
And Paddy Ryder


In fact every major trade target, the ones named and those I’ve left unnamed, plus the free agents that I’ve not even bothered to address, have come to Geelong.
