Norwood fined $50k for Salary Cap breaches in 2008

[Dutchy]

Sources say this will be the likely fine

$50k fine and will not be able to recruit for 2010.

I believe they were $20k over the cap

Should be officially announced later this week.

[JK]

Meh whats a few $k between mates?

[MagareyLegend]

Cheats - take the premiership away from them (oh thats right they didn't win it)!

[LBT]

How much will they be over this year then, given their stronger and much more experienced list?

[jockey]

:? How much will they be over this year then, given their stronger and much more experienced list?

Exactly what I was thinking

[nickname]

A little bit further over I believe Dutchy, but I'm sure those at the SANFL are, like us, wondering how they could possibly be under this season if they were over last season. This could get interesting if Norwood shape up as potential Premiers towards the end of the season.

[centrecirclelegend]

interesting then how another club with red in it can pay a new recruit a reported $130K a year?

the source is good too!

[ca]

I'm not dissapointed we paid over the cap as nearly every club has at some stage but i'm annoyed we got caught.

[dash61]

Can some one tell me is this their first or second breach?

Dutchy is that the only punishment, could be be they may be restricted in 2010 from registering any players outside of their own zone????

[Macca19]

Yes will be interesting to see what happens for this year. Maybe they'll hire better accountants.

I'll think you'll find the actual footy club is paying a fraction of that figure but they pay above award wages for collecting glasses and kitchen hands for certain people at certain licensed establishments....

[dash61]

Assistant coaches can be paid well and its all legal

Read the OP dash

[dash61]

Think the breach is 30K

A Kite 14 games @$300,Walker 17 games @$300, lol forgot lower and thomas oops

Thats 74 games played by AFL listed players @ $300 a game, Just imagine Jericho, Campbell & Massie play the 60 games (possible between them) this year at FULL TOTE ODDS , that is scary financially and most clubs had Bryce Campbell shopping himself at their clubs and the price tag got quite hefty so i cant wait to hear what they say his match paymen ts are

Doyle 9 games in 08, Trotter 14 in 08,Phillips 14 games Hope these 3 dont play the 21 games they missed in 2008 or its a costly exercise

All based in minor round games only

Do some sums, Norwood need a very creative accountant in 2009

[bayman]

would they be the only club in this situation ? perhaps a club or 2 that didn't make the 5 last year could end up in the same boat

[JK]

Yes will be interesting to see what happens for this year. Maybe they'll hire better accountants.

Yeah, the ones from the Power might be going cheap

[Grahaml]

He said better, not incompetant!

FFS, you moan more than the unemployed ... As I said elsewhere, yes Norwood have been done and that means GUILTY - Noone is denying that, but now that it's done and dusted is there any chance you can stop 5 years worth of whinging? When this one runs out of Legs (pardon the pun) it will no doubt be about how poor Westies get raped and pillaged by Andy D and co. when noone else does .... Again ...
