Tigers fined for salary cap breach (Herald Sun)

[JVT]

Rather than find the who and punish them, why not find out why and ensure it never happens again?

I would do both! 

[tiga]

makes me sick to the core to read this, who's responsible for the stuff up', should be deducted from their package

Bo, how many inches do you recommend?? 

[RFC_Official]

Yeah, admin error in lodging forms not a salary cap breach. As most people know we only pay 92.5% of the salary cap anyway.

Thanks Mr RFC_O

Poor reporting by the media and the AFL 

As I said saying  the Club has been caught "breaching the salary cap through an "administrative error" was pretty vague and wrong.

I knew we weren't over the cap so it was clear that we hadn't "breached" the cap per se.

Breaching the cap I would have thought means you pay more than the salary cap not stuffing up lodging paperwork 

The worst performed Melbourne based afl club in past 20 years has salary cap breaches? WTF

Yep lodging paperwork in correctly is a disgrace... someone made a mistake not really a news story TBBH. But good excuse for some to have whack for the sake of it ....

Are we aiming to pay more than that next year?

Seems to me we should be front-ending a lot of contracts (and thus paying a higher cap percentage now) so that we have some room in the cap to retain players at around the same time that we are pushing for top 4?

and even 92.5% is way too much, compared to performance over the past decades.
KPI,s at Punt Road would be of great interest.

Should fine the media $10k for poor reporting.  Isn't it almost bordering on defamation?

[WilliamPowell]

Isn't it almost bordering on defamation?

Sadly not Julz - poor reporting and a shocking headline absolutely but defamation nope

But the article itself is accurate under the rules any error in the TPP lodgements (including admin errors) are deemed a "breach"

and even 92.5% is way too much, compared to performance over the past decades.

Come on Taz what's that got to do with it.... 

[Hellenic Tiger]

The media wouldn't allow the truth to get in the way of a good story that the plebs would only understand.

Question I ask.how does the club pay the fine? Out of the FTF where some poor sole has donated there hard earned cash ?????.don't we have accountants employed at the club that would double check these things .? The club are very good at debting our bank accounts each month

  gee you are funny sometimes even when don't try to be. The accountants..  I would think it isn't the finance depts job to check to see if the Footy Dept have lodged paperwork correctly with the AFL.

The fine will not be paid out ofthe FTF - those monies have been allocate. The club have explained where the FTF moneis are going time and time again.

The fine like any fine will come out of general operations and charged to the Footy dept
