So let's average the TPP at $11.5m over the 8 years.
Player agent gets ~10%, so GST is 1% of TPP = $115k
PER YEAR
And the fine was what? $5k/year.
That's like stealing $1m from a bank and the court tells you to pay $1k back and not to do it again

If the AFL actually provided some detail to go along with their under the carpet press release we might have some transparency.

This is an amazing comparison: The Adelaide Adveriser has today reported that the Adelaide Thunderbirds (a national Netball team) have been fined $100,000 after self reporting a ONE YEAR salary cap breach of just $22, 698. Compare that to a much more financially viable Geelong who been making mistakes for 8 years (apparently), and the pittance they got for their breach. Not only that, the TBirds were really transparent about exactly what the breach was.
There's a whiff.....

Matt Barber also says hi.
Geelong are self penalising themselves by continuing to employ Chris Scott.
I'm more than happy with that arrangement.
After inheriting a gun list Scott won one flag and has run a total root ever since. What's not to like?
AFL will cover it all up they don’t want another saga

Lol Brad Scott got a larger fine for questioning the umps after a match.
$5k a year for 8 years?

Oh so you actually know what the error was?
What was it it?
And if it was an error, say not including something into a total that was submitted to the AFL, how the hell would the AFL even know it wasn't included?
Errors are found by the people doing the calculations or auditors.

for breaching TPP lodgement rules. Where does it say one player was paid overs in breach of the cap?

Didn't work for Muppet scenario - Geelong obviously have a better relationship with the AFL at present...
