Salary Cap Investigations

[jo172]

So, for those who can't be arsed reading the whole thread, whodunnit?

Miss Scarlett of Kent Town

Not one of the popular picks.

[running defender]

When does the SANFL start the investigation again?
Now a bit of time has passed since it was first announced, what penalties will they get
How long before we know the club and how are they going to recruit if they have Apps taken from them this late in the recruitment window?

This seems to be dragging on, hopefully it's over quicker than the AFL debacle investigating Essendon

wouldn't bet on a quick result. Took us over 4 months to have our investigation finalised last season

Grandstanding from Community Football and Duldig to try and justify why they're around
It's served no purpose to put out a press release in early December to say "A South Australian community football club has breached regulations controlling the payment of players" without saying which club.
All its done is create innuendo and rumour amongst people who are guessing which club is the guilty party. If you put out a vague press release without telling anyone which club it is - that's just incredibly stupid and grandstanding
Less grandstanding and when they've actually completed all investigations then name the club and then put out the press release not before

If I was a betting man Id say a club trying to do the right thing has gone over by a small amount due to an administrative error. Will be interesting what spin is put on it. The clubs deliberately cheating wont be caught.
No doubt every year from now on in that peak recruiting period of Nov/Dec they will have the same press release for scare mongering tactics. It will keep the honest clubs honest.

Information I received today that three clubs were over the cap.

One club self reported for a weekly admin error (Under total yearly cap)

Two other clubs still being investigated but for serious breaches

[running defender]

That's interesting , so the club that self reported that should be done and dusted soon.
The two clubs still been investigated how long is this going to take ?
They need hard evidence , not just here say or I was told this, unless someone squeals on his or her's club
Nothing will happen, they can't look at any ABN holders books.
Another big waste of time and money , money that could be put into club grants and grassroots .

[FOURTH ESTATE]

Self reported club all done and dusted.

Other breaches still being investigated but I do believe that they do have evidence

[Jim05]

Self reported club all done and dusted.

Was the SAAFL team the self reporting one or one of the others?

[easy TIGA]

If it's done and dusted, who was the club and what was the sanction if any?

[Jimmy_041]

I heard it was a west cost club but don't know the penalty (if there was one)

Seems to be warnings being handed out

[daysofourlives]

Does Bathy know anything about the investigations?

Bathyknowsall F@&$ all about the specifics.

[daysofourlives]

Here we are its Feb and still no announcement, starting to think its all smoke and mirrors

[OnSong]

It's not but it is taking a long time and it would be fair for the general public to start thinking along those lines

[Officejet]

The Local Adelaide Plains paper saying that a “Footy Club has been caught in a salary cap swindle”, but doesn’t name which club…

[Robran]

KNTFL club ??

[OnSong]

The Local Adelaide Plains paper saying that a “Footy Club has been caught in a salary cap swindle”, but doesn’t name which club…

Yeah, disappointing to not get the club name released. Think that's what a lot of people would be wondering, as it adds context to the breach.

If they won a flag but were in breach of Reg 31, imagine the uproar?

Think the fine of $1750 isn't the biggest drama, the loss of 3 APPS points would be though.

Then the premiership points penalty is suspended, so a non-event really.

I'd imagine it won't be long before someone talked.
