Rowey & Timmy G Podcast - 27 August 2026
Summary
The 5AA Sports Show debates whether Geelong’s $100,000 fine for the Jake Conley concussion waiver is too lenient, comparing it to stricter penalties for Port Adelaide and the Crows. Fox Footy’s John Ralph joins to analyze the AFL’s handling of the breach, arguing the club acted with deliberate secrecy to avoid legal liability. The hosts also discuss Toby Green’s transfer to Geelong, the departure of 36ers coach Andy Collins, and the ongoing uncertainty surrounding Sydney’s players involved in the third-party payments scandal.
