Geelong rorting the system

[MF]

Yes, BUT Geelong were found not to have breached the AFL’s total player payments limit or any player movement rules, simply that arrangements hadn’t been disclosed in a timely manner or, in some cases, at all. In other words, a storm in a tea cup.

Brisbane were only fined 10k for an error that impacted their Total Player Payments. 77k would seem to suggest they think this is more serious than that.

A 6-year audit and all that was discovered was a car lent, a photo in Geelong colours and filing paperwork late.

Oh the humanity.

 

[MF]

Not breaching TPP because theyre paying them outside the bloody cap.

Not disclosing at all... im sure that its just another honest mistake...

Yeah as someone who runs a business I would find it very hard to believe I could "forget" that I'd given a car to someone.

Yeah "Administrative Errors" not cheating.

Nice big 77k slap on the wrist to make it look like the afl are doing something about it

good old steve hocking picked up the phone once again...

Ford loaned an AFLW player a car for 5 days and Geelong didn't disclose it.
Admin error.
$10k fine.

Nothing to see.

Likely similar things that all clubs do.

A big fat nothingburger.

"Non disclosure of 3rd party payments"

 

[Elixuh]

Geelong’s books must be quite complex if it took 6 years to conduct an audit. Hmmm.

 

[fnerd]

Yeah "Administrative Errors" not cheating.

Cheating grubs

This years GF was merely karma!

what a joke Blues got done for third party payments for roughly that amount but got fined $1m and stripped from two drafts. Geelong must be AFL's Nepo baby .. home ground advantage, allowed salary cap rorting

It was just a Geelong woman driving a car for a few days. I wouldn't stress too much about it mate.

$40K suspended, and when was Brisbane's? The Cats acknowledged in May they expected a fine. This is a beat up.

You've never ran a company have you?
You need to hold books for 7 years for a full audit. Been there, done that.

 

[Cyclops]

Well I'm glad that's over and there's no need to look into any other clubs third party payments and other incentives.

Geelong didn't get done for any excess payments though. Just the admin side of disclosing things.

Did you read the article?

 

[Bunk Moreland]

“Did not breach the TPP”

“Third-party deals were not disclosed”

Uh huh

I think they should audit every club.

Just like the did when our drug saga broke, the AFL conducted an in-depth audit of the supplement programs of 17 clubs.

In four days.
