It’s easy. They pay minimal wages to players’, then get a third party to pay them astronomical sponsorship money where said player does SFA aside from the odd cameo appearance, all the while the club floods the home ground in sponsor products………..

Then these players are able to get their hands on land that ‘has just come on to the market’ or was a ‘private sale’ in enviable locations in the surf coast. Similar to COLA purposes, only this time its name is lifestyle.

I guess we need to take a close look at our sponsors and try and find a attractive businesses that can give start players under the table or cheap deals.

Real estate companies? Home builders?

Financial institutions?

that does make sense. id go as far as saying that if Geelong got exposed, they'd probably bring the whole league down with em.

What about a game of "who would have thought they are......"

Exactly so the problem isn't what they're doing, it's what we (may) not be doing.

Been my thoughts for years. Not going to beat them... so better them ;)

AFL just ignores its mates

 

WE have plenty of rich dudes and corporations backing us

Why can we do third party deals Are we just not smart enough?

we actually don't in comparison with other clubs

jake niall's series of articles for ninefax about the heavy hitters and big money movers and shakers at other clubs as well as ours was eye-opening - our supporters don't stay wealthy by giving away their money compared to the likes of peptides, the filth, or even footscray, let alone the baggers


I remember Balmey saying we were the poorest club with the richest members.

Tom Harley appointed Dillon's 2IC.

Oh, well; this thread's been fun while it lasted...

I don't buy that we can't compete with the Geelong lifestyle. We simply need to play to our strengths. Some players like city life, while others could easily set up on the Mornington Peninsula (e.g., I believe Jake Lever has done this, as has Max Gawn?)

Competing doesn't mean "doing the same thing". Obviously we can't compete with the farm life by offering farms. But there are things we and other clubs can do/offer that Geelong can't. Ditto for every club.

Though I will admit that if I were a footy player and didn't have a hatred for Geelong I'd probably want to set myself up at Torquay with a hobby farm and a new truck too.

Mornington Peninsula or beautiful Cranebourne where Police protection is never far away on the ground or in the Air

Don’t Forget Harley was Jeeelong Captain

The BS will continue….


was dillon visiting jeelong (rather than the reverse) last week because he wanted to check a hobby farm going at a great price?

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
