You guys need to check yr history.

Carlton's cheating was in 2001 and 2002.  Jackson was CEO.

Anything before that Dimi was at the AFLPA.

He became CEO in 2003.  Ess were fined 80k or something like that for a breach.  it wasnt a big deal breach.  This Storm thing is huge.  People are gonna go down for fraud.  It was systematic.

There isnt a relevant comparison or an issue u can whack dimi with.

what a fool he didnt need to make any kind of comment on this matter it has nothing to do with AFL.
Now his words will come back to bite him because of the stupid comparison he has made with what nrl has done to the storm and what LITTLE afl done to melb and carlton.

Yeah, fair enough, my bad.

Melb breached the cap in 1999.  Dimi was at the AFLPA then.

Thanks Al.

I think if you read it in context it makes perfect sense:

The AFL boss said his code had been forced to take similar action in the past.

“The fact they’ve come out strongly is something we would applaud. You’ve seen how we’ve done that in recent years with Carlton and Melbvourne. I think it sends a strong message to everyone, to all people involved in the industry that serious matters of this nature will not be tolerated. I’m not privy to enough of the detail but it sounds like it’s a very, very serious matter," he said.

when the breach was discovered and the penalty was given that cypriot prick was boss and as ox said he never had the balls to punish carlton properly

and we all know why

dick pratt  was the man who helped gomez cypriot in teh business world and they were very close

there was no way dimii was gonna punish carlton like he should have bec of pratts ties to carlton

Carlton were punished harshly. it has taken them years to recover, the bastards. the breaches were b/w 1998 and 02 or something like that.  They didnt date back to 1995. So how could they strip that premiership?

u guys need to try and separate these issues.  yr talking crap and u know it.

And i couldn't give a rats about Dimi, or Carlton, or Melb, or Essendon to be honest.  i just don't think the issues are connected.

What's happened at the Storm is huge.  An enormous story with startling outcomes.  people could go to jail over this.

The comparisons with the AFL aren't valid.

I dunno, they were only over $300k per year over the last 5 years, it's not that much money. I think the majority of the salary cap breaches were 3rd party payments and payments to player managers.

If they have cooked the books as a public company or understated their tax obligation as a commercial entity then you're right CR, they most certainly face the possibility of jail.  What I am struggling with is that it was all the fault of one person.  Something this big and complex had to have more cast members than just Waldron.

You guys need to check yr history.

Carlton's cheating was in 2001 and 2002.  Jackson was CEO.

Anything before that Dimi was at the AFLPA.

He became CEO in 2003.  Ess were fined 80k or something like that for a breach.  it wasnt a big deal breach.  This Storm thing is huge.  People are gonna go down for fraud.  It was systematic.

There isnt a relevant comparison or an issue u can whack dimi with.
You're right CR, Dimwittyou didn't become CEO until 2003. It was Jackson who handed down the penalties for Carlton's cheating in 2001 and 2002.
However, just a few points:
1. In 2001 Carlton were fined $125,000 and draft picks for breaching the salary cap that year.
2. In 2002 they were fined $987,000 and further draft picks for systematically breaching the salary cap between 1998 and 2001. My point being that their cheating went back a lot further than just 2001 and 2002 as you state.
How far back did their cheating go? Well in 1994 they were fined $50,000 for minor breaches. I'd wager that their 1995 premiership was not completely above board.
The salary cap was introduced in 1987, also a Carlton premiership year.With big bad John Elliot at the helm back then,thumbing his oversized proboscis at the lefty socialist AFL trying to kill free enterprise, and drag everybody down to the same level, you can bet your life that a few members of the Carlton side that year found themselves registered employees of Carlton and United Breweries.
I'd love to see the AFL lighten their trophy cabinet of a couple of stolen cups.

What I hate most about them is how unrepentant they were about their wrongdoing though. They're like your typical unreformed criminal. Sure they sat out a couple of drafts, and it set them back a few years. But when the AFL went all soft, and changed the rules the year we finished last and should have had the no.1 pick, Carltank so openly and shamelessly lay down for a third of the 2007 season just to steal what was rightfully ours.
And now their illiterate scumbag hordes chant "KKKKRRROOOOOOZZZ" everytime he touches the ball, just to rub it in to the rest of the comp what they did to get him.

i am not trying to find an argument my dear fellow in this case.

all i am trying to do is outline the Storm did indeed cheat - salary cap wise - very similar to Carlton FC, Essendon, Sydney fc (a-league)  etc.

the storm were only 200k over the cap ... (1 mill approx over 5 years)

got a very raw deal imo. more so when you note carlton only lost a couple picks, essendon had nothing happen to them, Sydney fc got off almost scott free due to the owners owing both the league and the club (Lowy) ...
