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.

Mate, don't get me wrong.  It would be brilliant if the scum lost their cups.  All i was doing in this thread was refuting the original ignorant post by Ox.

Yeah, that's cool. I wasn't having a go at you, I just enjoy highlighting what a pack of cheating scumbags Carltank are.

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.

Yeah, exactly X-Files. Judd "the environmental ambassador". Seems the only thing we can smell cooking down at Carlton is the books.

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

You’ve seen how we’ve done that in recent years with Carlton and Melbvourne.

You said they should be stripped of their premiership from when they were found cheating.  they weren't found cheating in 1995.  And if you have to rely on Dermie to back yr argument, then that argument is lost my dear fellow!!

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) ...
