Sure... But it's probably best to keep it all in here I guess.
Ok
Sure, they weren't. Geelong Softcap*

360 will run a best assistant coach of the year award for another ford mustang next year. No prizes for guessing the winner.

No, not even that. Literally no overspending on any cap at all.
I get it, of course, that just goes to show how really real the conspiracy is.
Could be we've just found a way to be consistently 'very good' and occasionally excellent, with a coach that covers our deficiencies until they often get exposed, and because we don't bottom out tend to attract players. And even then, if you want to look at teams filled with "how did they pay for them?" recruits - look at Collingwood and your mob. Odd how your mob keeps investing in land developments, huh?
No, it's not odd at all. Just smart business from a well-run club. Something half the comp don't do.

Given that Nate is just there to steal IP and personnel for Tas, I don’t think they’ll go that far.

I guess I could run my company much more efficiently too if I didn't have to let the ATO know about "everything".
I only just recently finished my returns, it's amazing how many things you can miss!

Sigh.
For Dr David Bell, a psychoanalyst and consultant psychiatrist at the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust, trying to convince conspiracy theorists that they are wrong is destined to end in failure: “What is demanded is a kind of ultimate proof, which there cannot be.” Trying to disprove a conspiracy theory by rational argument will not work, he says, because the premise is not based on rational argument, but on “a very intense emotional need to see the world in this way”.

Of course
The Tassie job is a very long term one with lean years expected. Remind me, when does the club play its first game in the AFL?If Geelong continues to contend - and there is no reason to think they won't be - then Buckley could be trained up as Scott's successor. What would you rather be? Coach of an established team contending, or the "Guy McKenna" of Tasmania?
Why would Buckley want to be a successor to Scott? He's 4 years older, for starters.Of course

Tassie will be looking for a new coach towards the end of next year. Perfect timing for Buckley to re-familiarise himself with the ins and outs of AFL clubland.
He's already known to have been in talks with the AFL over the Tassie job, AFL will throw a truckload of cash at him to be the inaugural coach,

Why no theories?
- 2017 breach: admin error, half fine suspended
- 2010 breach: unexplained cause, but did lead to overpayments. Fined.
- recruiting/"poaching" talent: Daniher, Neale, Cameron, Dunkley, Ah Chee, Gunston*, Doedee, Allen*. Both Neale and Dunkley sponsored by Brooke's Blooms at the time they were recruited.
- AFL executive control: Greg Swann

The mental anguish that Carlton's mediocrity hast inflicted on him since the beginning of his career is so severe that he is now prepared to forgo that amount of money to allow himself an opportunity to recover from that emotional damage in a workplace that over 20 years has shown he's very highly likely to enjoy his footy.

It's amazing how Geelong manage to be such a successful football club with all of its leaders working multiple jobs.Another one in the media to spread Geelong propoganda.
Imagine what they could accomplish if they could offer Scott and Buckley full-time hours?
Even their gun players are forced do second jobs to earn a living. Poor Jeremy Cameron looked so tired from all the farming he couldn't even snag a goal during the granny, it's very sad.

So why has Melbourne recruited a former Geelong captain / assistant coach as coach, and made offers to Tom Hawkins to come on board? Case of if you can't beat them, copy them?

We're a country club after all, just doing our best to take it up to the capital city clubs. It ain't easy, but we manage as best we can.
