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

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
