Geelong rorting the system

[PhatBoy]

I’m just glad with all the pressure and being on $1m / season Chris Scott has the energy and passion to get a second job - maybe he could drive an Uber or deliver pamphlets at night as well. I’d have thought he’d spend time with his wife and kids in his limited downtime … but he is prioritising a second job. Seems weird to me. Maybe he doesn’t like his wife and kids.

He could just do what people like myself and Damien Hardwick have done and have an affair behind their back

Isn't this thread already about cheating?

Envy and paranoia, more so.

Never forget Steven Motlop getting Geelong a FRP compo despite not being named in the top 40 highest paid AFL players.

Tom Rockliff in that same free agency period got the same compo and was in that list.

Considering we got picks 15 and 23 for Gary Ablett at the peak of his powers, I think it evened out a little bit in the end

Fun fact: you can trace that Motlop compo pick to the future drafting of Tim Kelly and subsequent windfall trade with WCE that resulted in the currency for the Jeremy Cameron trade. We call those sorts a "long rort", harder to pull off but when you nail them they pay off in a big way.

Didn't we end up turning Ratugolea into Humphries as well?

I know Tuohy was effectively traded for Smedts plus a tiny shift in draft order.

Other clubs seem intent on helping us in all rort endeavours.

AFL forces Geelong to act on master coach’s side gig

‘It’s been dealt with that way.’

7news.com.au

“his relationship with Morris Finance and Geelong” had been looked at, and it was “in the realms of the soft cap”. “It’s been dealt with that way,” Dillon said.

Another half answer still leaves plenty of questions too.

Just beautifully handled by the AFL.

It really is absolutely laughable to think a coach could be paid directly by a club sponsor and it not go in the cap.

 

[Muddiemoose]

If the media didn’t pick up the position for Scott and without the public outcry one wonders if it would of ever been looked at

Surprising lack of Carlton supporters posting in here


So Scott and the Cats been found guilty yet?

If he really wanted a 'Chief of Leadership and Performance' gig to prepare himself for life after football I'm sure he could have put the feelers out for an organisation which wasn't a club sponsor. Coincidentally it just so happened that the role was available at Morris Finance though.

The simple and obvious solution would be to include all (and not just a portion of) payments for 3rd party deals with official club sponsors be included under the cap without exception - be it Chris Scott at Morris, Bailey Smith at Cotton On, or any other similar deals across the league which no doubt exist. That's of course not how the AFL want to operate.

So close to getting away with the rort. If it wasn't for those pesky supporters of the 17 other clubs

So close to getting away with the rort. If it wasn't for those pesky supporters of the 17 other clubs smart enough not to publicize their rorts on social media

FTFY

Would be great to know what's included and what's not included in the soft cap from this deal, and also when exactly the decision was made about that. Not expecting to ever know those answers, of course. We instead should be happy with incredibly vague half answers from Dillon in an attempt to shut down further questions.

Just make them declare all money they’re earning or gifts they’re receiving. It’s dead simple to then investigate it that’s coming from a sponsor or supporter. If it is, it goes in the cap. End of.

I don’t know why they’d complicate it any further.

You seem upset?

Just discussing a football related matter in an appropriate thread on a football forum. Neither upset nor surprised.

Pleased for you if you're getting off to this though?

I am pleased and yes, thoroughly enjoying your melt.
Shame you can't be recorded infront of your computer screen right now.

It would have drawn so many clicks on social media.
