But he didn’t have the best season did he and that’s not what the award was for as anyone who watches the show would understand. Least of all you who seems to be across these things with a religious fervour

Yes it was a top up to Danger from a sponsor, we know

Kurt Tippett has been fined $50,000 and suspended for half the 2013 AFL season while the Adelaide Crows have been fined $300,000 for breaching the salary cap and tampering with the draft. Yeah, same as what Geelong did...

I’m actually laughing out loud at some of the stuff in here BUT than at the same time it’s really sad the low IQ of so many people :(
 
So geelong is vindicated. Just silly admin errors that every other club would have if they ever had to go through the same process

"The AFL conducted an 'extended audit' covering the 2019-2024 seasons, which found that the Cats did not breach the AFL's total player payments limit, or the AFL player movement rules, at any time in that period."
 
It was good of the AFL to allow former Geelong Club Executive and Chief Operating Officer Simon Kelleher to head the investigation. Basically investigating what went on when he was working for Geelong. Mind boggling 🙄

I assume the report was finalised prior to Gerard Wheatley and Ford gifting Danger a car on national television for having the ‘best season’.
Okay ... so ... Ford / Whateley blackmails Gary Lyon into making sure that Danger is just close enough to winning an award to the most matchwinning performances that his performance against Hawthorn in the PF ...

Oh wait, it involves Hawthorn. No wonder you're bitchin.

‘Silly admin errors’, Steve Hocking is that you?
 
Geelong supporters rolling out the Bigfooty 'My clubs been caught in a scandal' starter pack

"lol where's the proof?"

"So what if they found something? it's just a paperwork error - we did nothing wrong"

"It's not as bad as what club X did X years ago"

"Everyone is doing it, they just haven't been caught yet"

Can we actually get a Geelong fan on this forum to explain how this isn't blatant cheating? I'm yet to hear anything from them outside of childish comebacks.
Sure - because it was a minor administration error to do with the AFLW.

“The Extended Audit found, on the basis of the information obtained and reviewed by the AFL, that the Club did not breach the AFL TPP Limit nor the AFL player movement rules in any season within the timeframe assessed.

There ya go.
 
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.
Tippetgate was 200 thousand dollars over the salary cap.

Geelong was found to not breach the salary cap.

Do you get the difference? One club did not cheat the salary cap while the other club did cheat.
 
The league should expect people to doubt the standard of a report conducted by one of theirs who has ties to the investigated after their own investigation into the Essendon saga reported that since they can't find a direct chain of custody from sale to skin there is nothing further to rule, case dismissed. That was what the AFL found. If you couldn't show it was the same substance purchased to the one injected then there is reasonable enough doubt - no more questions.

The same group who have never released public notice of a strike that hasn't first been reported elsewhere, despite it being their policy.

It's unfair on Geelong to have to wear the stain of that, but the AFL made the situation and poured fuel on the fire when they made third party deals regulated after Judd moved to Visy and played for Carlton.
