Geelong rorting the system

[random260]

Woweee. If this case was an open shut case the investigation into Manchester City cats would have been over by on.


The fact this is still ongoing speaks volumes. This corruption cats scandal is bubbling up to be as damning as Essedon doping scandal. I have a feeling their are following the corruption trail of the cats

We have an afl investigation into a club for their corruption. Doesn't get any worse then that folks.

We might need to push for an independent commission into cats corruption

It's over, Steve Hocking had one look at the proposed 'investigation' and just said "yeah, nah" and the AFL ended it right there and then. Geelong-based business Morris Finance are looking forward to Chris Scott providing them exceptional value in his new role as Chief of Leadership and Performance.

 

[yeahmate]

Geelong based financial advisory clientele would be mostly drug money and rich farmers so Scott is well credentialed given his experience with the Cats playing group

Well to be fair, Geelong need to replace their Costa living allowance.

Always seemed to pair well with Jack Riewoldt even back in the players nights on afl 360

Dare say they will get paired up a fair bit

Ahh love jack. Probably my favorite media analyzer going around at the moment.

He has a little bit of larrikin vibe and loves to entertain

Sometimes when players go straight into the media post footy they almost seem a little dry even if they are insightful

Like Hodge who I really enjoy what he is saying and how he sees the game but his delivery is so bloody boring and one note

What shocked me was I thought jack was a stooge or clown… but he is actually well spoken and intellectual with his analysis and insights. My fav media personell now Ross Lyon is back coaching.

Is that his real face? Fmd.

 

[PhatBoy]

No, it’s the one the umpires, Steve hocking and the match review committee who didn’t suspend Tom Stewart for longer after the Prestia incident bestowed upon him.

Yes, it’s his real face, presumably

I hope for their sake it's more successful than when Fox tried to pair up Cam Mooney and Barry Hall. Hall got the boot pretty quickly but Steve Hocking made sure that Mooney kept his job.

Fabulous News! I hope he's as natural as Lingy, Mooney & Selwood before him.

Thank you mate I am. I have epilepsy and the mix of too much drinking and that condition didn’t go well together so it’s far more moderate now.

My point being that the fact that he’s done gear before doesn’t mean that any incident where he finds himself in an ambulance means he got there because he did gear.
I can’t imagine that someone who has ODd is going to be discharged and show up to footy training a day later. Someone who has had too much to drink and passed out and been initially unresponsive on the other hand seems a far more likely possibility.

Stupid behaviour and I’m surprised and probably a bit disappointed the club didn’t stand him down for a week but I would be incredibly stunned if he, as has been suggested ‘overdosed.’

One that the AFL seemed to have allowed to blow over was the curious case of Jack Stevens stabbing.

The bloke was almost killed and the afl responds with a ‘nothing to see here’ action.

Not sure whether he was a cat or a saint at the time, but it was obviously something that the AFL didn’t want to openly confront.

He was a cat. Stevens was just very unlucky, normally when you take illicit drugs you don't get stabbed, you just collapse & get taken to hospital.

You are aware that it wasn't deemed worthy of being pursued by Vic Police?

“The police investigation stemming from a 30-year-old Lorne man presenting at a Melbourne hospital with a non-life-threatening injury on 17 May, 2020, has been concluded,” a Victoria Police spokesperson told AAP.

“No charges have been laid in relation to the matter."

He was never a ‘Cat’. He didn’t immerse himself in the club and was nothing but a list clogger. A terrible decision to recruit him

 

[Slime Roy]

There have been and will continue to be many mishaps, oddities & indiscretions in the ranks of AFL football.
And then there's Garry Ablett Snr.

Yeah I am. They couldn’t lay charges because he refused to tell them who stabbed him.

Bit suss eh.

Only if you want to spin it that way.

Bloke punches you in the pub doesn't mean you are compelled to say who did it, talk to the police or take action on the individual. But AFL players are expected to not only be treated to a different standard but behave differently from the general public.

 

[PhatBoy]

He had never even played a game for Geelong when this happened, by the way, and it happened in Melbourne where he was living so I’m not quite sure how much responsibility the Cats can take for his ‘descent’ into what had happened by then.

Same with Ablett Senior. I assume Slime Roy was alluding to Alicia Horan’s death which occurred 5 years after Ablett had retired.

Do we blame Essendon FC for what Olarenshaw was allegedly up to in Bali, and do we blame StKilda FC for what Sam Fisher’s drug dealing in 2022?

I did see fans of a certain club actually link the word ‘culture’ to Olarenshaw’s situation and have a giggle to myself at the stupidity of such a suggestion

 

[FreddyTwoShoes]

This is easily my favourite thread on BigFooty. The desperation is very funny.
However, I’d like to hear more about the Stewart/Prestia incident, father /sons and non circular playing surface.
Lift your game.
