OK the last one is streching it a bit but not a bad deterrent, makes you wonder if people can afford to run things by the book, this under the table stuff must save them money somehow.

Hirds and Lloyds deals were made and signed mid 2001. So yer middle observation can be thrown out the window.

Also, the comparison with carlton is pretty bizarre given:


Premiership (or at least decent) players sacrificed to keep under the Cap over the past three years playing AFL elsewhere...

Essendon

Hardwick
Blumfield
Heffernan
Caracella
Moorcroft

Carlton

Er..........?

Nothing sinister there, nobody wants our players, they are all playing in the VFL or worse two minutes after we delist them.

Oh, Richmond do have Pickering and Fleming who was on our list previously but then they also picked up Paul Hudson!

I guess SOS went out earlier than he would have liked for injury reasons. Bradley indicated he wanted to go around again and Christou was dragged out kicking and screaming.

Hasn't it been shown that Carlton, through Collo, rorted the salary cap in 93'? Something the Tax office is ivestigating? Not that it matters anyway as I think Cartlon have been penalised more than enough already.

If my club has breached the salary cap they deserve all they will get PLUS the board will be dead with the members. Even I will travel to let 'em know they had better not show their faces aroung the club! (I AM a memeber btw).

However I do not believe there is much involved in this but is just part of an ongoing investigation of ALL clubs. Someone apparantly chose to leak this to the media. Can't understand why as our club rarely ever says things in the media themselves?!
