Salary Cap Facts

[ShanDog]

I'm almost certainly in the minority here but we deserved every bit of punishment we copped for this.

Probably fair but it's the "only Carlton cheats" mentality that is ****ing infuriating.

You are on your own.

 

[Johnny James]

wasn't allison kouta's agent? and didn't he come to some sticky end, wheelchair or a stroke or disease or some sort of bad accident?

Yeah Thy , he was Kouta's manager and I think he was Hamill's too.
Big Jack didn't like him all that much.
Allison caused a few contract drama's for us.
Apparently had a bit bad luck.
Shit happens.

We must be the most talked about bottom team in history.

I think he was in a car accident and became a quadriplegic.
He was no saint in the salary cap saga.
He knew exactly what was going on.
Maybe he's getting paid for his story.
Hope he's not getting paid in cash.

Interesting after SOS fires up this is all dredged up again.....

Insinuating Blues would have been better off if Braddles and SOS stayed silent and putting it out there that some think they did get paid.

Some hold grudges a long time and care about payback more than the Footy club, I wish the whole Elliott faction would just piss off. Nearly destroying the club once isn’t enough for them.

 

[Gethelred]

This is more fuel to my fire... but does our club react emotionally to this type of sh!t like we do

Find some pride FFS!

You're kidding, right? You want the club to react emotionally to a newspaper columnist best known for his propensity to ramble and to make statements at people instead of asking them questions in addition to generally looking unkempt and rather like an alcoholic whose dispatched with the pretense of 'it's always 5 o'clock somewhere' and waddles around bleary-eyed dredging up almost 20 year old history that, frankly, everyone already knows?

Mark Robinson and the rest of the media can get ****ed. That's all there is to it. Why let him control me by answering his goading with my anger? It isn't about pride, it's about taking control off a moron who's goading us to sell advertising space.

Warner wrote the piece not Robinson. Actually wrote two pieces on the same day.

Ex-AFL player agent David Allison comes clean on Carlton salary cap scandal, admitting he received $750,000 in secret cash payments



What a "coincidence" good news story for Carlton ie Cripps re-signs and HS article goes bang Carlton cheated blah blah blah it was 16 years ago for ****s sake.These cretins will do anything to smash us in the media it's a ****ing joke. That's why we have to be patient and wait until when we finally click as a premiership unit and watch them melt from our success. It can't come quick enough especially if we get it before * then watch all the sycophants of that scum bag cheating club who have some pull in the media sook it up when we are winning.

 

[Teagueeee15]

It’s surprising that the HS take Allison’s word a season gospel despite nothing to corroborate the $750k figure, yet when Dank says he gave Essendon players TB4 and Robinson that he gave Bock CJC-1295, it’s move along nothing to see here.

This.

I heard Brereton reference the Kreuzer Cup comparing our culture to Richmond and Hawthorn.

Does Dermie forget that Hawthorn's dynasty was built on a brilliantly planned tank while Richmond's coach admitted to doing it as well?

 

[bigm386]

I cannot ****ing believe what a disgrace the Herald Sun and their trash journalism is. The best week in Carlton's whole year and they publish a beat up article about the Salary cap over 15 years ago??

Talk about a slow news day.

 

[Iamcarlton]

I'm almost certainly in the minority here but we deserved every bit of punishment we copped for this.

Yes and that was dealt with a long time ago. In 20 years time will there be an article rehashing after a long line of articles over previous years and decades Essendons drug culture from 20 years prior a day after a big player signing at that club ?

 

[inyourcool]

Gethelred I just want the club to find some pride in itself, some self-respect, a bit of mongrel and grit

To want to fight to all the dirt being kicked into 'our' faces, to fight back and stop being pushed around. Whether that's on the field of battle or even on the written word. STOP TAKING SH!T FFS!!!

I just don't see this emanating from the club anymore. A bit too meek for my liking

It's not about the article per se but more about us being put down at every opportunity. I get a sense in your post that it p!sses you off too

 

[PrinceCharles]

We can hope that Scoop McClure has taken over by then and relishes the chance to dish the dirt.

Don't see how anyone could possibly hope to see more of that insecure slime.

 

[therubbernub]

Essendon do syringes and paper bags - yet only Carlton cheats.

Our paper bags are much nicer to touch.

And the Sydney cheating from 1987 is insane.

"In 1987, Sydney were fined the maximum of $60,000 and forfeited their first round pick in the National Draft after a VFL investigation found that they had exceeded the salary cap by $1.15 million during the season."

The total cap at that time was 1.25m. They were over by more than 95% of the cap...

No one ever brings up their penalties but our cheating was closer to theirs than our cheating is to the present day. Same era, same practice. Ours gets remembered cos of Elliots arrogance and because we were caught just after finishing last, costing ourselves picks 1 and 2 in the draft

True, but 13 years later the AFL wanted salary cap breaching stamped out once and for all. Hence the overreaction when Carlton were found to be cheating the system. There hasnt been any since(?). Mission accomplished by the AFL i guess.
