Geelong rorting the system

[Whiskers]

Is everyone around here really this much of a nuff?
The amount of posters that can’t grasp what happened is astounding.

And melbourne was caught not tanking....

Apparently "lax management" with disclosing 3rd party player payments thats it

Thats like Essendon going oops cant find the paperwork of what players were injected with

No deliberate cheating

 

[Big_Birdy]

Geelong’s books must be quite complex if it took 6 years to conduct an audit. Hmmm.

The auditor

And melbourne was caught not tanking....

Just following in the footsteps of Dogs and Lions who got similar fines for admin errors.

New rort unlocked, sending BigFooty into a meltdown

Geelong CEO Steve Hocking said the club had "fully co-operated" throughout the League's audit, which was conducted by the League in conjunction with consulting firm EY Australia.

Why didn't the AFL hire Morris Finance to aid them? This sort of stuff should be right in their wheelhouse.

 

[RPCB]

Mind you, it ain't over.

Caro could still find a way to make this about Bailey Smith.

That’s a bit rude. Your supporters love Caroline Wilson.

She was the person that broke the rental car/AFLW player thing (as if that’s even true) that your supporters are still lapping up.

So don’t use her good name in vain like that.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Willing to take a "paycut" takes on a whole new meaning now

In the report EY noted it was odd that there was a paper shredder in every room at Geelong HQ, even the bathrooms.

They should be stripped of their now tainted 2022 premiership cup

Man we’ve gotta get them on board.
There’s still soo much we could do that we haven’t even unlocked yet.

This thread needs to go for another 200 pages of melts

We dont deserve it but alas...

Geelong Cats Statement: TPP and Soft Cap Audit

In relation to the AFL’s statement regarding the Club’s TPP and Soft Cap Audit Geelong Cats release the following statement.

www.geelongcats.com.au

"The AFL also foreshadows that, on account of learnings arising from the conduct of the Extended Audit, improvements will be introduced, across all Clubs, in due course to education with respect to both AFL and AFLW TPP Limit and Soft Cap Limit rules, the application of those rules to Club associates and third-parties and with respect to the AFL’s compliance and audit activities on those rules."

 

[DangerSloane]

And the worst kept secret in the AFL is finally revealed to all.

Now where are those flog Cats fans saying they did nothing wrong.

Funny how when the crows did the same exact thing ONE TIME, they lost draft picks, but when Geelong do it multiple times they get a slap on the wrist.

Well they did miss our contract with Columbia and the importing of goods for Smith

Just Lazy management in disclosing payments friend! nothing to see

These things work on a scale depending on the seriousness of the breach.

IE for Dank powering us in 2007 we gave Port Power a retrospective 118 point headstart in the GF.
For us being found guilty of (not) breaching third party payments, we give Sydney a retrospective 80 point headstart in the GF.

Oh should we sack the girl who does the admin who missed.

 

[cats2rise]

Credit to the AFL...they've spent the money on a cos, the strongest of all the lettuces, to beat Geelong with.

I reckon with some force behind it, a cos lettuce could so some damage.

I assume pre-washed spinach leaves would have least impact of all the lettuce types.

Remind us what it was Adelaide FC did wrong...

Yep, lazy management. The farm just happened to fall into the players hands, no idea why or how that happened.

 

[CatsDan]

I'd like to address the wider board about the fine handed today to Geelong. While the fine is a slap on the wrist, it is deeply concerning and speaks to a lack of proper governance at the club.

It was this same lack of governance and cavalier attitude which led to the Essendon doping scandal.

I'm not comparing these two at all. But things can snowball. I'll hug my loved ones a bit tighter tonight. If this can happen at my club, it can happen anywhere.

 

[DangerSloane]

Remind us what it was Adelaide FC did wrong...

Failed to declare a TPP for Kurt Tippett which still would not have exceeded the salary cap.

 

[PhatBoy]

As crooked as a spiral staircase that club.

Third party payments
Farms that are free to a good home
Previous Coach and his frozen water selling business
Current coach and his external employment opportunities
Dangerfield winning a Ford-sponsored award, playing for a Ford-sponsored club, driving away in a Ford Mustang lmao come on seriously.....

Not as bent as your brain has been from too much kool aid.

Do Facebook comments determine all your thought patterns or just some of them?

Has anyone actually seen these farms or does two of our players - one of them being Rhys f**king Stanley - having acreage drive you THAT nuts? Hell, RICHMOND had a farmer playing in their premiership teams each week. Where the hell did he get his land from? Maybe Gale was paying Dylan Grimes to live at Mt Macedon Winery for the last 8-9 years…..

Maybe Josh Daicos and Annalise Dalins purchasing their ‘forever home’ this year for $2 million had some help?? Or is it only farmland near the peninsular that can be assisted by footy teams?

As for the award, you really have been curdled haven’t you

All you needed was 4 genuinely standout games to win and that was made abundantly clear at the start of the season when Lyon explained the award system and it was pretty clear early on that Dangerfield had 3 massive matches. Then guess what? He went quiet. So he didn’t get any points. Then he had the biggest final out of anyone and got points again. Big surprise he got points again

At least NRL take these things seriously.
