‘There have been discrepancies’: Geelong ‘expecting’ sanction over third-party player payments

“Geelong have been adamant, from the word go, that there is no smoking gun here, that nothing untoward was going on at the Geelong Football Club in terms of any attempt to hide third party payments.

“The AFL accepts this, but there have been discrepancies, there have been lodgements that should have been noted that weren’t, and they will lead to several five-figure fines, whether they go beyond five figures, I can’t tell you.

BS ALERT!!! “We’re not saying that there was any cheating, that there was any attempt to cheat the salary cap,” Wilson said.

Only 5 figure fine? Typical afl

Adding things

 

If they’re not guilty it should only cost them half a mill and 2-3 first round picks. That’s how it works right?!

 

it appear the rule is if you cheat the cap you get heavily sanctioned, but if you 'forget' to lodge some payments, then you get a modest fine.

and Caro sits there and pretends thats actually the case. what a joke.


Pretty sure the Storm had premierships taken off them for salary cap shenanigans. Come on AFL, you wouldn't want Rugby League to show you up for integrity, would you?

hate to say it but andrew dillon might have lost that one for us

Think I read the fine will be paid for in Cotton On gift cards

Geelong have always had a great sense of entitlement. Love to see their balloon pricked but i doubt it will happen.

"Lodgements that should have been noted"

Who writes that garbage.

Dear Steven (Hocking)

Because you got caught out this time, we issue a $50,000 fine and request kindly to please don’t hide anything else in the future.

Kind regards,

Laura Kane

Sorry to seem sexist, but if they are giving cars to female players, the male players are probably getting jumbo jets.

Given their brand... perhaps Falcons ! 🙄

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
