Nats and Libs to split. There goes the next election. Looking forward to 6 years of Labor rule.

I've no doubt before the next election there will be a reconciliation

Looks like there is a possibility of a lib split as well. The moderate Libs joining up with some of the teals. The right leaning Libs joining the Nats. Interesting. It would mean the next two elections for Labor guaranteed. 9 years of Albo. How will we cope?

This aged well

Coalition back together

You really do have the inside scoops

For their own sakes, sooner the better.

They look absurdly stupid, splitting for all of two weeks, like a pair of bickering kids.

So 1 player taken from our vfl side which we couldn’t have even taken anyway. So much for the raid.

I was expecting at least two.

I wanted to try Raso because I think he has more upside than MRJ (surely we can't say the VFL players aren't fit enough vs him lol) and I've been underwhelmed by both Mansell and Green this year.

Imagine whatabouting & seriously comparing the incompetent rabble under Casey from 20 years ago that resulted in no success to the continuing systematic decades long rorts & corruption at Geelong that's handed them 4 flags (and that's not even counting the other stuff that went on when Robinson & Dank were there under a junkie coach.) :shh

I wouldn't be getting my knickers in a knot about this draft and not having a pick. It's a shame our vfl team gets weakened but good luck to the players, wish them well.

Carltank lost draft picks in the early 2000's for their salary cap breach, how come geelong aren't punished the same?? :thumbsdown

My understanding is that so far the investigation hasn't shown any serious breach of total player payments.

They've looked into Scott's two other jobs aside from being a head coach and those two appear to get through the loopholes fine. I'm not happy about this and think it should be illegal.

Otherwise there was an AFLW player who got a lease car that the AFL wasn't notified about which isn't a big deal IMO.

You wanted their flag stripped a day ago

If they've cheated either the TPP or soft cap, sure. Plus draft penalties.

Particularly the TPP.

I think the multiple jobs that Scott has is an abuse of the loopholes and shouldn't be allowed. All the full time coach and player wages are sufficient and I don't think it's reasonable that any company pay significant funding to a player or coach for taking a photo here and there a la Judd/VISY.

And Spud Frawley and our players with their deals with Casey

It’s a tale as old as time

If anyone thinks every club isn’t doing shady poo, they’re in dreamland

I guess it’s just a question of what levels .. with Geelong its concerns of farms and other things players are supposedly receiving


Yep probably. I'm sure Puma paid Dusty lots.

I want all contracts public knowledge like in the USA and all 3rd party payments as well. The AFL should know that if Chris Scott is paid $100,000/year as the 'director' of 5G Networks but does about 30mins work/year that it's a rort, for example, and just include that money in the soft cap.

Remind of me of Eddie McGuire giving out jobs at CH9 to WAGs to sweeten deals, trying to purchase premierships under the table.
