Geelong rorting the system

[GetDimmaBack]

There is no case that imo has any credible reasons as to why they should be released to the public.

Well, it would certainly throw the Cats among the Cotton Ons, hey?

Full transparency

It would finally shut up the gossip mongers IF Geelongs dealings are legit AND NOT CORRUPT!!!!!

 

[Sttew]

I didn't say they were "senior executives".

No you said, "Most exec salaries are public" implying footballers are in the same basket.

Anyway, doesn't really matter. We can agree to disagree.

In reality we are legit and this is all about nothing.

Some real olympic level mental gymnastics going on ITT that the AFL would turn a blind eye for one club and not 17. That club isn't in one of their growth areas, isn't a powerful Melbourne club and isn't a good PR story.

All gibberish.

No I didn't.

I explained that Exec salaries are public because it's very relevant information to shareholders and members (like with a Super fund for example).

Exec salaries aren't made public for a laugh, it's because salaries of key personnel is important information in the context of an organisation's viability.

Footballer salaries are also important information in the same context.

It's not for click bait or gossip or 'public interest' - it's just very relevant information for club members.

"Just do rort it"

The fact that the AFL's PR team can't even spin it speaks volumes. I don't think I have ever seen the AFL stay silent at the conclusion of an investigation. They're hoping it just goes away. Luckily we are here to hold Geelong to account.

Holding Geelong to account? For what? The police investigated one of their senior officers and cleared them. Oh, wait I mean the AFL investigated one of their senior coaches and cleared them. No need to spin, the season is less then 3 weeks away. All will be forgotten, if not forgiven.

Yup, sounds like it.

South Australian Phoenix Foster has opened up about his “really rough” time with Geelong after being delisted at the end of the 2024 season and joining Yorke Peninsula club Paskeville for season 2025.

“I was a workhorse. I went over and beyond – my days would start at 7.30 in the morning and finish at 5 and I was usually there for a couple hours getting my body right before other players would come in for meetings.

“I understood I was a longer term prospect and I was injured but I just felt like the work I did went under the radar.”

Read between the lines.

I guess you guys call it Choo-Choos-Day.

I believe this is a legitimate thing and needs to be investigated by an AFL panel, as well as a separate body so we can make sure the AFL aren't full of shit.

 

[Freomaniac]

I wish. Otherwise I would not be starting my shift at 4am.

Random guess. I am gonna assume your job is either a security guard or a cleaner or a person that works on one of those 24 hour a day petrol stations like BP on the run.

Was a train guard, now a trainee train driver.

What do you want them to do mate, an awareness round for reaching into a bag behind your seat while you’re driving? Not exactly the sort of PR disaster you hire a company to solve or avert, is it.

Ironically the Geelong paper was the only one that could be bothered even covering Atkins’ court case seemingly.

This seems to bother you a lot more than it bothers anyone else. I’m glad the people involved in the accident are okay.

That aside, I couldn’t give a shit. The more of this that drives you crazy, the better.

And coaching is a thankless job.

You can help win your team two titles, have the best winning percentage in history, get no credit for it, and every clueless c**t with wifi access thinks they know how to do your job better than you and that you’re a f**kwit whether they’ve ever met you or not, and that you contributed absolutely nothing towards the success of the team that you’ve spent 14 years looking after.

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.
