@kanecornes Agree Kane. Practical judgment/common sense seems increasingly rare these days....

[Pop29 @Peterpop29]

Yes Geelong did order through recommendation of Dank (not employed by the club). Dank was only connected through Dean Robinson who tried to implement the program. Geelong as a club said no after a full review as they deemed it not right/ unsafe & everything was documented as a well ran organisation does... Dont let the truth get in the way of a good story though....

@gullballs @ClarkyHeraldSun Ill throw back to you....Can you categorically compare how does a club-wide, undocumented peptide program compare to an individual player signing a liability waiver to prevent medical retirement?"
No illegal performance enhancing intentions either....

[Pop29 @Peterpop29]

It's absolutely astounding how jealous people are of Geelong. Trying to compare recently dealings at the club to injections and more major salary cap breaches makes me laugh. People just can't take success over a long period of time.

When a club stays at or near the top for nearly two decades, every off-field issue, administrative fine, or governance scrutiny gets magnified tenfold by rival fan bases.

Equating Geelong's administrative or contract compliance matters—where independent audits confirmed no total player payment limits were breached—to systematic performance-enhancing drug regimes or massive salary cap overspends isn't a fair comparison. Historic scale-level breaches directly manipulated on-field outcomes and competitive fairness across entire lists over multiple years, whereas much of the noise around Geelong stems from minor governance disclosures or contract administration disputes.

The reality of sustained excellence in a hard-capped, equalised league is that rival fans look for external explanations for why a club hasn't fallen off the cliff. When standard football gravity—draft order, salary cap pressures, aging stars—doesn't force a rebuild the way it does for everyone else, people naturally seek reasons outside of sheer organizational stability, smart recruiting, and culture.

Lumping standard administrative errors or contractual disputes into the same sentence as the biggest scandals in modern AFL history is standard footy outrage culture at work.

@AFL Seems to be a growing disconnect between form and selection at the club. Players performing strongly in the VFL are being overlooked, while underperforming AFL players retain their spots, which can damage team morale and standards.

@ChrisCamerota @tylers_twocents @AflGlicko Will just have to wait & see, yes happy to be wrong.
Time will be the answer as always
Just my personal opinion.

[Pop29 @Peterpop29]

@amnsaints @AflGlicko Yes, but not talking about Saints balancing their books. It's more so what a couple of players are getting dollars wise for the years ahead. Hope it works for them but its a risk they are willing to take so hope it works for them.

[Pop29 @Peterpop29]

@OG1BonnyP @AflGlicko Hopefully he does have a good season & so do the saints, just a worry it could come back to bite them.

[Pop29 @Peterpop29]

@tylers_twocents @AflGlicko Wait & see next year how it all goes.
If they keep offering those contracts they will have start handing out food stamps.
2 of the most ridiculous contracts offered.

@mishacollins @DisneyPlus @jimmykimmel @ABCNetwork lol, why? All these talk shows divide people.
Keep politics out of it.
Time to start bringing people together...

[Pop29 @Peterpop29]

@Strandjunker Andrea, all your words state is that he asked to be shot by opinions he had & a platform he created. You are part of the problem in society. Violence is never the answer and is never acceptable. I despise where politics has taken us.

@DwaynesWorldSEN @1116sen Imagine the ball in tight contests, won't see who last touched it. Not a good time to bring a new rule as umpires are struggling with the current ones...

[Pop29 @Peterpop29]

@Laughatsaltyge1 @FOXFOOTY Provide a game where a similar free was paid?
Never seen anything like it that was gifted a goal that far off the ball.

[Pop29 @Peterpop29]

@1116sen @AAMI @SENBreakfast No fine or report for Cam Rayner.
Absolutely no leadership by the AFL to not take action. Changes required can't happen quick enough.

[Pop29 @Peterpop29]

@Sammy__Edmund @1116sen Looking back at it, Can't blame Rayner trying anything to get his team back in it. Umpiring decision looks boarder line corrupt - Never seen anything like it.

@ayden_5_ @TonyShaw22 That's a dive, This is AFL not soccer
