Fine to ask, but the AFL were correct in rejecting it.
That is what the NDIS is for.
Money for flights for family etc you can't really do because then that becomes more of a homesickness thing. Very exceptional circumstances but the lid has been kept s**t on the can of worms.
It is interesting though when you compare it to "ambassadorial" payments.
Listening to Cook this morning, I'm not sure if they actually wanted to pay TK extra for this, or if Cook was asking the AFL to point up a bit of cash to help the family, sorta like an AFL fraternity NDIS if you will.
That in itself is not outrageous. The AFL does aim to be inclusive and the players union drives a hard bargain for player outcomes. Including a type of insurance clause for players having difficulty (family health, personal health, special super scheme) is not ridiculous.
Not sure how asking the afl if you can give additional assistance to a player on the grounds that their child needs additional support, then being told no and not doing it, would constitute cheating. Mostly we were accused of not doing enough for him so this is a bit ironicGeelong tried ‘absolutely everything’ to keep Tim Kelly — including asking the AFL for help

So Geelong tried to ask the AFL to pay Tim Kelly, a rich footballer, more money outside the salary cap to keep him, because apparently he didn't have enough money to support his disabled children.
How is this acceptable? And why the hell would a player set to earn $700,000+ per year need more money outside the cap to look after his kids? That's ridiculous.
No, they just haven't spent like most of the allocation.Good luck with the NDIS funding didn't Scomo cut a s**t load of funding for that so the budget looks good

Dangerfield plays for Geelong.
The night is young!I hope not. We haven't sacked anyone yet.
Have you tried living on 700k a year? When my wife went on maternity leave for two years we had to scale back to one wage which was just under 700k. Basically had to live like peasants.
I'm an adult that understands sometimes players and families have health and wellbeing issues that require extra and appropriate support.
He usually stops playing at half time
and had the AFL granted it you can’t calling it cheating if the governing body approves it.
Cheating is doing something you’re forbidden from doing
really? Of course it's cheating. It's just condoned cheating.
Flogs can't help but trollYou've totally missed the spirit of my post haven't you?
I just knew it’d be a hawks fan.really? Of course it's cheating. It's just condoned cheating.

Its not cheating if you ask. Gees. Tippet anyone.Hence Geelong "attempted to cheat" the salary cap. You aren't allowed to pay players outside the salary cap. The AFL told them to get stuffed.

Nicnat is paid outside the cap. Everyone knows this. No one is trying to hide it.Great example of the blind faith in you, by you ... what is it we are supposed to know/your blind belief? NicNat what?
