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.

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

  • PREVIEW: Fremantle

    The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Nightโ€™s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourneโ€™s memorable premiership triumph.

  • NON-MFC: Round 02

    The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

    As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, weโ€™ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binmanโ€™s Stats Files. Not because it isnโ€™t important; quite the opposite. Itโ€™s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

  • PREGAME: Fremantle

    After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourneโ€™s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last yearโ€™s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although itโ€™s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sundayโ€™s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to foolโ€™s gold.

  • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

    Never in doubt!!! In Steven Kingโ€™s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
