Fifteen Carlton players on Visy payroll along with Chris Judd Matt Windley
From: Herald Sun
November 20, 2012 ANOTHER 15 Carlton players were paid by Visy this year to be environmental ambassadors.
Just days after the AFL demanded Chris Judd's third-party payments by Visy must be included in the club's salary cap, it was uncovered yesterday that other players were paid to be part of the "Enviromaniacs" program.
The deals centred around attending school clinics to promote Visy's message.
They are employment agreements approved by the AFL and there is no suggestion they constitute salary cap cheating.
One player agent last night downplayed the roles, saying the players were paid "chicken feed" and that Judd's deal was totally unrelated to the others.
The AFL last night assured the Herald Sun the deals did not break salary cap rules.
Carlton officials were not available for comment.
According to the Visy website, clinics cover "recycling, water management and energy saving and involve students and players sharing ideas in a hands-on, fun way".
