Goulburn Valley: Former Mooroopna forward Chris Nield suspended for not speaking to salary cap investigators

Former Goulburn Valley league star Chris Nield has been suspended for failing to co-operate with AFL Victoria salary cap investigators.
The dual Mooroopna best and fairest winner was banned for four matches from playing in any AFL-affiliated competition nationally.
He has played for Mooroopna for the past three seasons and topped the GV goalkicking with 82 goals in 2022 and represented the league against Ovens and Murray the last two seasons.
Under the landmark suspension handed down by AFL Goulburn-Murray’s player payments disciplinary committee last week, Nield cannot play for his new club, Airport West, in the Essendon District league.
But he has played two matches for Berrigan this season in the Picola District league that is not affiliated with the AFL.
League operations manager Shane Railton said Nield wouldn’t be able to play again while he was suspended.
“We’re trying to run a competition that is seen to have a lot of integrity so we can’t be seen to be allowing a player under suspension to play for one of our teams,” he said.

Nield played his two matches for Berrigan were before last week’s suspension was handed down.
AFL Victoria rules state: “Upon a request by the integrity officer and within seven days of that request, a player shall provide to the integrity officer such information or details concerning or relating to any payments promised, given or provided to, or applied for the benefit of the player or any associate of the player, by the club or any associate of the club.”
AFL Victoria chief executive Greg Madigan said the suspension highlighted the salary cap was working in country football.
“The process and outcome on this occasion is one example of the system working to assist clubs in being sustainable by addressing the issue of player payment demands whilst seeking to achieve evenly matched competitions with financially viable and sustainable clubs,” he said.
“Football bodies are serious about addressing the burden of player payments and ensuring compliance.
“The integrity of competitions is of paramount importance at all levels of the game and all stakeholders, including leagues, clubs and players, have a responsibility to adhere to the rules put in place.
“AFL Victoria has also committed to putting more resources and support towards the administration of the (salary cap) at the club level, which includes a pool of accredited investigation officers and more training delivered by the regional manager and club development leads which are in place across the state.”
Mooroopna made finals last year, but exited the premiership race in the first week.
I think you will find Chris only played 1 game for Berrigan on the Good FridayAPW made the news ...

Just don’t think you can restrict players to where they can play. However recruiting from other clubs should be restricted in some ways.
Ultimate ressieIt is a very ‘captain of the 2s’ move if you ask me

They would rather have mckernan back in the later half of the season towards finals. They don’t see Keilor for a few months so they’ll back themselves against anyone else. They also made the grand final without him last year so they haven’t lost anything with him not there.
As for Vavra, he’s coming off surgery and just trying to get fitness and manage him correctly so they get him for the whole season. Ash went bold vs EK, dropped a ruckman and played with a mobile forward in the ruck - his theory being that you’re going to lsoe the ruck contest vs Dennis anyway you might as well test him on the ground which pay dividends. Strathmore’s depth is a sight to behold - not as good as Mighty Mick and his Keilor though.

I’m not sure how people can support this man. He has his fingers around everything and anything in the EDFL. Not letting juniors go to other clubs cause he doesn’t like the president? GET F*****.
Calm down football whisperer, your blood pressure is rising. Anyhow, karma is bound to come around and EK in premier are currently like an elephant in a tree, you’re not sure how it got there (money) but you know they’ll fall. Money isn’t sustainable. As soon as there’s more money at another club then off the players go.
I heard this song on the radio going to work. Myliey Syrus singing I came in like a wreckingggg ball. That’s Abers going into the auction house.
Abers coming in like a wreckingggg balllll.

Round 2 predictions:
1. Avondale produce a masterclass two weeks in a row and they’ll down the Stars.
2. Abers by 50+ and sending EK going down down prices are down Coles Style.
3. If Daw plays, Deer Park will take home the four points. If he doesn’t, the Jets will fly in a shape of a massive W.
4. Keilor continue their reign at Joe Brown Oval and they’ll clip the wings of Airport West
5. This is the big one. I cannot wait. We will be there. This is mouthwatering. I’m getting excited and blood pressure is rising. At the ripe old age of 98, I can’t remember a match I was excited for. The two closest sides to Keilor and this could be used as a stepping stone. the griff can’t afford to go 1-2 while the Panthers need to find form leading into the Keilor game. This is a flip of the coin but, BUT, the mores will prevail by 7 points in a Essendon District Football League Classic.

Any news on Majak's no show for Deer Park on the weekend?
I'm assuming it was a points issue as they were already 46/46 at the weekend, without him and his brother!

You have the football whisperer’s respect for making these videos better than the league itself. I tip my hat to you, friend.

It’s very much a grey area. It’s either you sacrifice dropping 2-4 pointers who have done the whole preseason or players who are under 21 and trying to play the young players for someone who arrived at the club a week before round 1.
They clearly didn’t get the team right round 1 so you could make an argument saying Daw MUST come in this week. I will be refreshing my web browser when the teams will be announced for sure.
Correct points issue neither was at saturdays game don’t be surprised to see they have moved on, cash grab.

Apparently word on the street is he took the sign on fee and pissed off. They Tried calling him and didn’t rock up to training or game day. Another rumour is that he is now signed at EK. I’m not sure how true this is, but I have heard from someone inside both DP and EK
Fit in well with EK . Coach wouldnt care would he? HAHA

If this is true he's really not painting a glowing resume for himself. Although it's already not great considering how he left things at Nth Heidelberg
I believe,I heard,someone told me ….all innuendo nothing backed up by facts .
