Clubs perceived by the AFL to be powerful regularly get off lightly.  Yet minnows like us get whacked all the time.  To call the error "inadvertent" is a cop out of the highest order.  A failure to abide by your fiduciary obligations, for any "business" is inexcusable.  Ignorance is no excuse under the Law

Carlton and Essendon have been whacked just like we have been.

Salary cap discrepancies usually have at least Draft Pick sanctions along with the fine it's unusual that Geelong got away with just a fine, especially such a minor one at that!

Steve Hocking looking after his own club. What a surprise.

Not just his own club. The club he was a key executive of at the time the salary cap discrepancies occurred!

We self reported when Joe Gutnick was in the chair.  Carlton and Essendon were recidivists and by comparison to our penalty, got off rather lightly in my view.

HATE THEM

Smug Bastards 

I guess the AFL feel the need to support one Victorian country team.

Yep. Players have been recruited outside the laws

8 years is a long time to not notice a thing

Absolute BS

Dangerfield, Ablett - both should be deregistered for 12 months!

no doubt our intrepid media reporters will hound the afl for all the details in the interests of transparency and fair play

oh, wait a minute......don't bite the hand that feeds you


Tom Browne has said that it was an error related to GST on management fees the club pays on behalf of players

 

First question: why is the club paying management fees for players?

Second question: how can you have stuffed up gst inclusions for EIGHT straight years???

Third question: getting gst wrong would also flag the tax office, surely - doubt they'd not notice for eight years

of course, the football manager at the cats throughout at least seven of these eight years is now the football manager of the afl as a whole.......

4th question : why is this vague information bring relayed by a third rate muckraker instead of by the AFL in their media release?

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
