Tigers fined for salary cap breach

THE AFL has fined Richmond $10,000 for breaching the salary cap through an "administrative error".

AFL football operations manager Adrian Anderson said the Tigers breached the AFL Player Rules during the 2010 season.

The AFL’s investigations manager Ken Wood found that the club had breached the Total Player Payment lodgement rules through an administrative error.

Anderson said Richmond had "advised the AFL of all required information, implemented improved administrative procedures and these matters had been taken into account regarding the penalty".

Rather than find the who and punish them, why not find out why and ensure it never happens again?
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Yahweh? or the great Clawski?

Problem is that from memory this isnt the first time over the last years and its happened again at a time when the club wants money from the members for the fighting fund. Its a poor look. And whoever is responsible should be made to pay it out of their salary, indeed if its happened a 2nd time which is what Im thinking then maybe its time to let that person go and wish them all the best in a new job.

Although I agree it isn't a good look in fairness for memory I reckon it might be the 2nd time in last 4-5 years we've been fined.

I think saying we've been caught "breaching the salary cap through an "administrative error" is pretty vague.

Seriously what does it mean exactly? Is this "administrative error" the same as the last one or is it something different?

As this has been handled by little Adrian A.  I think it is fair assume he doesn't know what it means either but he saw a quick way to make $10k ;D

It is how the news paper reported it, smart asses
Why wasn't reported as and administration error in the headline?  Because 'SALARY CAP BREACH' gets all the nuffies writing comments in the HUN like why have they not been stripped of picks!!! lol coz the HUN readers mostly read headlines and not articles.
Lots of people name their swords......
