They are alleged to have used Tassie-held bank accounts to pay their stars of that era outside the salary cap.
The AFL have no intention to now investigate though as it was long ago prior to the amnesty. - Ch7

Ex-AFL boss Ross Oakley says questions about Hawthorn’s salary cap in its golden years never came across his desk.
Hawks great Don Scott has alleged the club brazenly cheated the player payments system using a secret Tasmanian bank account during its historic run of premierships in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
But Oakley, the league’s chief executive from 1986-96, said concerns over Hawthorn’s conduct were never raised.
“I know nothing about them having a secret bank account and if we did, we would have done something about it,” Oakley said.
“I have absolutely no knowledge of it, so there’s not much I can say other than if we’d known they would have been penalised.”
