cats caught cheating

[JimJessTorp]

Nah man wasn't any there so I went to the AFL store and bought a dozen Collingwood scarves.

All good now

Not sure if I heard it correctly but I thought there was some mention of payments to player managers not being included that caused the breaching of the cap. One year might almost be considered an administrative *smile* up by some paper shuffling lackey, but eight years is farking *smile*. Pricks had a rort going n self reported when they knew they were gunna get busted. Forty grand is barely beer money, hardly a massive harsh penalty.
Gilligan n his cronies sittin around circle jerking again.

Pretty much Ghost but my Throne Room has a bit more of a warmer and inviting atmosphere, the scarf however spot on

I'm glad you bought new scarves, it's frightening to think what you could catch from second hand Copyingwood scarves.

A $40,000 fine !!!
SHocking has flogged his old side with a wet lettuce leaf.

Retraction on AFL website in the next 24 hrs. Fine was actually only $4,000.

 

[TT33]

I tried to do this in my toilet but the dunny roll holder rejected it.

 

[DavidSSS]

8 years of salary cap breaches, and what do they have to show for it? Absolutely nothing

$40K fine is a joke, they would screw us blind, and a few other clubs too.

What a joke.

Sufferin Suffer Cats have come clean with a 8 year old admin oversight & Team Gillon neuters them with a $40K penalty. This sets a precedence for other clubs with financial oversights to come clean & wipe the slate clean.

 

[fastin bulbous]

My cats supporting mate responded to the news with ‘Didn't help us win any flags like the roids did tho’ which is about right

 

[waiting]

How about this pathetic headline on afl.com.au?

Cats cop massive whack for Total Player Payment breach
Geelong receives a huge financial sanction after an administrative blunder

$40,000 is massive? Are we really supposed to believe that?

Furthermore, the article is wafer-thin on detail.

Show us the nature of the breach, AFL. Otherwise it looks like you're trying to control the message, as usual. And that normally means something fishy.

Exactly 8.
When this was first reported and that a club had breached and hit with a massive fine, i thought i wonder which club?

Then last night watching CH7 News, $40k fine, wow.....

Administrative error...

 

[jb03]

Ha ha "massive fine". That headline is so absurd that you can't even really comment.

 

[BrisTiger24]

This is blatant cheating. I demand the AFL strip them of all the premierships they've won over those 8 years!

 

[mad_tiggy911]

Strip the bastards of their picks. Hit them like they did with Carlton.

 

[Tigers of Old]

$5k for each year a multi million dollar club broke the salary cap..

SHocking.

FFS jernos hold this crew to account.

 

[mad_tiggy911]

40k is a *smile* joke. This comp is corrupt.

 

[Jonesracing82]

Whateley will explode on air next time he's on & Melcatzzzz will be ropable about it. Just imagine if it was Richmond...

Strip the bastards of their picks. Hit them like they did with Carlton.

Exactly mad.
Why are they only hit with a MASSIVE $40 k fine and no draft picks ?

Helps if you know people in high players and who at one time resided over Geelong, um One Steve Hocking. !

Meanwhile at AFL HQ in the luxurious penthouse suite's third bedroom a sweaty Gill and Steve are sharing 0.5 grams of weed.

Steve: So Gill my dear?
Gill: Yes Steve?
Steve: Remember when I was in charge down at the Cats?
Gill: No. Wait. What? They ******' had you in charge?
Steve: Oh yes. The glory days I call it.
Gill: Glory days? Sounds like fun.
Steve: Oh yes. The fun we had. The mad Mondays, the mad Tuesdays, the Bum Wednesdays. All week it lasted.
Gill: Erm... When did you last get a check at the clinic?
Steve: Clinic? Wha!!!!?! *looks puzzled*
Gill: Nevermind - I think I am due a visit. One of the polo ponies is looking a bit distressed right now. Perhaps this weekend.. Anyway - You were saying?
Steve: Oh yes. Well...
Gill: Well?
Steve: Well... When I was managing the place it appears we may have slightly overpaid a few of our players.
Gill: What? Overpaid? And what does "slightly" mean?
Steve: Well... Its obviously just an *rabbit ears* administrative error...
Gill: And....?
Steve: It runs to about $125k. But we're still doing the sums.
Gill: For how long.
Steve: Oh just a short while... *mumbles* 8 years.
Gill: What? Speak up!
Steve: 8 years.
Gill: 8 years? So about $15k per year. That wouldn't even cover the cost of Scotty's ping-pong ball habit. Don't worry about it. We'll just sweep it under the rug as a rounding error and everything will be fine.
Steve: Ummmmm....
Gill: What??????????
Steve: *Speaking very quickly* It's $125k per year for 8 years. We estimate. Might be more. We only just noticed.
Gill: For ***** sake!!! Who did you contract to do the books? ******* Geoffrey Eddlestone's accountant?
Steve: I....
Gill: ********! Ok. Here's how we play it.... The Cats have self-reported an admin error. We'll fine them - Oh I don't know... how much is our Ganja bill for the year?
Steve: $38k for last year.
Gill: Ok. We'll fine them $40k and report it on a Thursday evening. Thank **** the corona virus thing is filling the front pages. The media will forget it by Friday.
Steve: Thanks Gill.
Gill: Oh Don't thank me. I'm only thinking of the Cats and my reputation. You will pay.
Steve: Pay? How?
Gill: Get the handcuffs and the ball gag.
Steve: *dejected* Ooookayyyy...

omg, it's sad because is true!!!

gold post!!! hahaha

 

[TigerMasochist]

No headlines in today's Hun, just a tiny little column fluffing it as an insignificant little sorreeeeee, my bad event.

 

[Eddie from Elwood]

Who in the media is going to do the digging and expose this?
My guess, no one.

It would seem nobody from the HS is going to touch it. I've two comments asking where the story is that have been moderated out. Pretty sure I didn't breach comment guidelines.
