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 💩

    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.

    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.

    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 ! 🙄

    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).

    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 😉

    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

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
