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???

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: Gold Coast

    Iโ€™ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we wonโ€™t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything youโ€™d like to ask or say below and weโ€™ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics youโ€™d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    Melbourneโ€™s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time atย Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
