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

Or farms.

If Gold Coast are the nepo baby of the AFL then this current outcome would make Geelong the mistress of the AFL then right?

What a complete pile of ๐Ÿ’ฉ

Double standards at every corner you turn.

I for one would like to congratulate the investigation team for filling the hardest possible brief;

"Find something, but don't find anything"

Actually the opposite is likely true. I have been through many ATO audits and you always give them some easy wins so that everyone leaves happy.

I'm sure Geelong have offered up some low hanging fruit so that the AFL can claim they have taken this issue seriously and lessons have been learned all round.

nothing to see here

was just a football club act

afl integrity unit just took receipt of a box of fresh wet lettuce

stand by for afl to send a textbook message


Can you imagine if this was Melbourne, Stkilda or North Melbourne? Can you imagine Caro saying the same things?? Honestly this makes me feel sick.

Kurt Tippett says hi. Crom got a huge fine, lost draft picks and in the end Tippett himself.

Dig deeper on these corrupt bastards

How many Government handouts have they had so far??

Jeeelong never pay for anything!!!

Hateโ€ฆ

They forgot to tell the AFL about a free car for one of the girl players, how do you forget a car?

To be fair I often forget about my car, sometimes I have to check I didn't lose it behind the couch.

Given their brand... perhaps Falcons ! ๐Ÿ™„

Or you know... Those F-150 are very expensive and hard to import.

Has anyone checked if Geelong has the highest F-150 ownership per capita in the country?

I think what they meant to say is that Geelong will be just fine(d).

As always.

AFL to provide 'Persils' to hide the dirty washing.

Call me crazy, but I get the feeling that thereโ€™s several clubs that the AFL pander to and that the AFL protect.


Please tell me this is not fake news???

Edited by Fork 'em

Reading this thread I feel like people didn't actually listen to what was actually reported? Was made pretty clear that the things that came up were pretty minor and any repurcussions Geelong face will be simarly minor. Honestly thought the revelations were incredibly underwhelming.

If you want to believe its an AFL cover-up then go for your life but I don't get how people are celebrating this as proof of Geelong's rampant cheating.

It is a cover up.

My husband is related to a Geelong player who shall remain anonymous, who earns well below league average (and is a top 20 player in the league!), but somehow owns a piece of property worth around $15mil.

Likewise I know people at Cotton On Group, and the ambassador salary they pay Smith is more than any of their big name ambassadors who have actual modeling careers.

My only real beef.... we all know it... Cats, Blues ,God knows who else does/did it.. Why the f don't we. The AFL is a corrupt organisation that wouldn't know which way is up on any given day.

M'Lord..exh A ....the MRO

Exh B.. why doesn't Coll ever travel ....I mean to Geelong or anywhere much... a cross town match is only played under sufferance..

Exh C the Home and Away season... nudge nudge , wink wink ๐Ÿ˜‰

Why not play these [censored] at their own game...???

Just cutting off our nose....

Last time we took that view, it didn't work out too well for us.

But we definitely didn't tank...

Some clubs are protected.

Knowing our luck, we'd fling our players some sponsors product and the AFL would launch an investigation into our players having freshly painted houses and we'd lose premiership points.

That's the bit that really stinks.

They're protected

  • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

    The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourneโ€™s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.ย

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
