Geelong rorting the system

[STPer18]

People get cranky when they don't get to watch the most winningest team of the 21st century strut its stuff. Just one week and we'll be back, hold it together friends.

Hey now. I recall a certain AFL related thread when she broke the news initially. Plenty present that day taking her word as gospel.

Are you wavering on that now that they've only found admin errors and nothing more sinister?

Wavering? If people take her word as gospel, that’s their prerogative.

You know somethings fishy when the Geelong regulars are getting angry and doubling down.

Get anymore defensive, gonna have to call some of you Ross Lyon.

“What’s your name? Delisted is it???”

“You’re quite brilliant Delisted”

 

[FootyLad0]

This thread becomes cringe when people are taking it seriously, gawd pls stop.

I want a full blown investigation into how many jobs Chris Fagan has!

Also all those Youi ads featuring Lions players. Of course that’d be funnelled into the players coffers through friends and family.

I don’t care whether there’s any evidence or not.
Never ending salary cap and getting Oscar Allen and Sam Draper?

We want justice!!!

No movie?!?

No movie?!?

The word last year was that this time it will happen. One of the actors said they’ve read a script and it will start filming in 2025 at some stage. This needs to happen. Great series!

We routinely rort the cap. How do you think we have so many talented players on our list. What’re you gunna do about it.

Sadly it's not news because nobody cares about Brisbane.

...maybe St Kilda supporters, actually.

[randyzany]

Supporter base thinks everyone is jealous and envious of their club and the same supporter base boos one of their best players from a lack of being humble.

Name a better duo.

There's no better explanation as to why non Geelong fans dream up these nefarious scenarios. It's how many tigger supporters sleep better at night, convincing themselves that the only reason Geelong have been consistently good for the past couple of decades is because of corruption.

A good sign is when oppo coaches, players and media alike say it’s due to how well they are run.

But to average plebs it’s, “HURR DURR COTTON ON” “RORTS” “CHEATS”

I can understand when it’s just a joke. Like Pies fans are ferals, Dons are Jabbers, Eagles fans booers, Tugger fans are conspiracy cookers etc etc
Nothing wrong with a bit of banter. Heck we ourselves mock it with Cows, Farms, Surf Coast properties blah blah blah

It’s the fact people legit think it’s a real thing even when it flies in the face of actual evidence. Then it becomes tiring and boring. Like “Geelong Old” jokes by boomers on Facebook doing it non stop in 2025 when that joke stopped making sense about 2 years ago.

Code Sports survey: AFL player agents reveal best and worst clubs to do business with​

St Kilda has been named as the most difficult club to deal with by player managers surveyed in an exclusive Code Sports investigation into the biggest issues facing the game’s deal makers.
In a sweeping anonymous survey open to all AFL player agents, 29.4 per cent labelled the Saints the hardest club to do business with.

Port Adelaide was not far behind, collecting 17.6 per cent of the votes, while Collingwood and Essendon both received 11.8 per cent.


Geelong has a strong reputation in footy circles for its recruiting and player retainment and the Cats were rated the “best club” to deal with, receiving 23.5 per cent of the votes in the survey.

Essendon was also highly regarded with 17.6 per cent, with Gold Coast, Collingwood, Fremantle and Carlton all polling 11.8 per cent each.

Geelong has leveraged a country and coastal lifestyle with a seemingly always-open premiership window and have embedded salary rules that can make negotiations simple.

Just another category we're best in show.
The rorts continue. Got player managers in our pockets.

"B-B-B-BUT player managers are going to stop their players going to Geelong because they're hard to deal with", or so the scribes of BigFooty.com have reliably informed me...

"Essendon also highly regarded at 17.6%".

Hmmm

You reckon Ben McKay's manager thought they were hard to deal with when they made him the highest paid player in the league?
