Geelong rorting the system

[Sentinel]

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.

Bit shonky isn't it.

Speaking of fantasies . . . Bailey Smith is looking mighty fine this preseason.
Hasn't lost any explosion or mobility after the knee reco.

Tell me Sentinel, am I dreaming?

Should a proportion of Bailey's deal with cotton on be included in the salary cap?

Was it at WB?

Was it at WB?

Maybe Cotton On could sponsor the Dogs, too.

You'd love to see it!

Was a cotton on a sponsor of WB?

Boot-studder just lost his job, Scotty keeps his role with Morris. Hope you all sleep well tonight. Meanwhile nothing major changes - we live to rort another day.

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.

So clearly a rort but we don’t want to derail the build up to the start of the season so some vague comments will do. I know that several other clubs were up in arms about this because they could have been doing the same thing but didn’t think it was permissible under the rules.

Geelong is very progressive. What is it that Morris finance said? ‘We are transcending the traditional sponsorship model’.

With some of the deal being incorporated into the soft cap, the property steward at Geelong is probably taking a ‘pay cut’ and receiving socks stuffed with rolled up $100 notes.

It was $50 notes not $100 notes

If this was a real investigation and the AFL discovered something that showed Geelong were trying to rort the system then Geelong should be punished for that. If not then why is this now included in the soft cap? What changed.
What actually happened was the AFL were happy to sweep this under the rug then when it became public it turned into obvious bad pr. So they 'investigated' it and have now decided that it actually should fall under the soft cap.

Or what really happened was technically within the rules and the afl wants to obfuscate the loophole while they work to close it.

Is a loophole within the rules, or a way to avoid the rules

A "rort", if you will?

The loophole is the part of the rules that are perfectly legal but likely don't meet the intention of the rules as written.

It's when you follow the rules exactly and the people who write the rules are upset about the outcome

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Take your pick.

I think it's pretty likely that if this was a clear cut break from rules the afl would come down pretty hard.

The infuse outcome is most likely because it's a result of the way the rules are written, making it no one's fault

If you follow the rules exactly why would you need to use a loophole?

Loopholes are written into the rules. That's the nature of them.

 

[captain bloodsport]

Loopholes are written into the rules. That's the nature of them.

If a loophole was written into the rules, it wouldn't be a loophole would it? it would be the rule.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

If a loophole was written into the rules, it wouldn't be a loophole would it? it would be the rule.

Loopholes are literally the rules. It's an expression describing a rule that doesn't fully cover the desired outcome.

Was a cotton on a sponsor of WB?

Puma are a premium sponsor of Richmond and were paying Martin $500k per season to wear Puma boots. Why does no one want to talk about that, or Nick Daicos signing a huge deal with Nike (a premier partner of Collingwood)?
