Geelong rorting the system

[Munich]

Brisbane have awesome list management, have covered McStay who was a solid first 18 player, otherwise lost few and brought in Neale and Dunkley, as well as good luck with f/s. Bristling with skills, that's good player development.

Not too different at Geelong. Coupla huge names in Danger and Jez, otherwise they have a history of improving trades eg Stengle, Tuohy, Stanley. Traded out players generally don't star eg Tim Kelly, Rataguolea which suggests player development and fitness is top notch. The good fitness regime helps keep oldies on the park.

Pies would have the best fitness regime, or is it just Sidey and Pendles making them look good? We find/decelop guys like Ginnivan, Markov and Mihocek that many clubs ov we looked, so talent identification is a strength esp bottom end with potential. We do trades, Houston the biggest but a lot of good players Adams Treloar Schulz, as well as smart steak knives like Crisp and arguably WHE. List management is mostly good if you discount the firesale (Grundy Treloar Philips plus Beams meltdown).

If these three are cheating it's soft cap: fitness, player support and development, and for Collingwood add talent ID. It's easier to find Danger or Dunkley "over there, the AA standing next to the premiership player", harder to spot the potential C or B hiding in the Port Melbourne backline or the Carlton rookie list.

We literally pull players from Geelong local league and equivalent. We don't just trade.

Ha! You suckers thought you had us!

Swept into the newly excavated acres we've prepared for Reid, Butters, TDK, Cadman, Rowell, and Jackson.

"Can we interest you in an olive grove, Mr. Reid?" offered S. Hocking.

This is a shot across the bow from the AFL requesting that Geelong be more subtle about its rorting in future. It had gotten out of hand.

We've passed the test. The rotation’s done on us.

AFL: "Who’s next for review? Umm… Brisbane."

— Greg Swann turns on the shredder

Just like Essendon, Brisbane knows not to keep a paper trail. We aren’t amateurs.

They’ve been doing it for at least 45 years. But in all seriousness how they obtained Bailey Smith

was the height of unsportsmanlike conduct from that club.

"Western Bulldogs were last year issued a suspended $20,000 fine for making administrative errors in their AFLW third-party payments, while Brisbane was fined $10,000 for an error on its total player payments in 2017."
Rife I tells ya!
Rife!

 

[Footy Smarts]

The nets closing. Tick tock tick tock.

Your club was fined for the same thing in 2017

 

[Couch Coach]

If they're only expected to receive fines then I assume we're just talking some really minor things like forgetting to lodge paper work and not something deliberately deceptive.

Surely they're not handing out fines for deliberately cheating.

Forgetting to lodge paperwork for a car to an AFLW player seems like a big deal to me.

You wish.

Nothing to see here folks.

 

[carndapies]

I think we need an audit into the audit

 

[fpm84]

For transparency I think it would be best if AFL players were only allowed to be employed by their club/the AFL, no side gigs at all.

It's 15 years of their life at best most of the time and the wages are far higher than the average Aussie.

Surely they can survive without a Cotton On job to boot.

What's next - stopping Jezza, Trac, Bont and Neale from doing ads for Cash Converters??

 

[cairo tiger]

cheating bs have been doing it for years. should be severely punished. if it was richmond they would be.

To be done by an affiliate of the GFC of course.

Ugh, Dogs and Brisbane, if we're not rorting harder than those two I'd mighty disappointed.

 

[SSSSSS]

I wouldn't even accept a free Ford.

Shame on Geelong for treating their players with contempt.

Poor thing probably got a focus

Shut up Caroline

truth hurts?

 

[Grumpyshades]

Victorian clubs cheating

shocked to be sitting here

 

[calder_daddy]

Similar incidents have occurred in the past, such as when the Brisbane Lions failed to lodge player payments correctly in 2004 and 2017. The 2004 incident resulted in a mammoth $260,000


fine for the club after 26 incidents worth $10,000 fines were uncovered.

 

[Toump Ass]

Respect to Geelong cheating with the AFLw stuff too, who even cares about that.

Whole Aus Kick team will be enrolled at Geelong Grammar next.

 

[Munich]

There are some very unhinged individuals in here.

 

[Taylor]

I don't think AFLW salary cap issues even count. The league started it's expansion allowing the new clubs to sign players for longer and to work at the club for the time it takes to use the gym a few times a week.
