Kevin Bartlett: "Hawthorn cheated the salary cap in the 80's when winning their 5 Flags"

[Bigeasy]

Can anyone shed more light on this revelation?

 

[Austin_McCrabbs]

Dipper and Dermie had a perm allowance.

 

[SA Blue]

There was a lot on truth in his voice. He obvously knows something. The AFL need to investigate.

Hawks Flags = Tainted

 

[Mofra]

Hawks as bad at the Blues it seems. Disgraceful.

 

[Black Flag]

as much as i would love to take a shot at the hawks, KB is a bitter, silly old fool.

carlton will finish 9th and rich 10th according to him.

 

[basil00]

He was just having a sook cos Dermie was saying what a spud Vickery is. However there does seem to be a hint of truth about it. Royal commission now!

 

[Shawt]

Was his evidence that they were just really, really good?

 

[Bay 13 God]

KB is senile, there was no cap until the late eighties.

This is what i was thinking, very happy to be corrected

 

[Black Flag]

This is what i was thinking, very happy to be corrected

would have been a cap in 1988, 1989, 1991.

 

[lethal03]

KB is so irrational you'd swear he is on drugs!

KB thought the Tiges would win last night.

You know when people have something up there sleeves they invariably use it when cornered.

AFL must investigate and correct any cheating like Carlton copped.

it was covered by the moratorium. i.e. they declared it.

well, that's my understanding. might be wrong.

 

[Monkey King]

Perhaps KB should have a chat with Tigers ex-president Clinton Casey. Anyone thinking their club didn't purposely breach the cap at some point has their head in the sand.

Seeing how crap we were its safe to say we didn't cheat. But then again how we're we supposed to win when playing in an uneven comp.

Interesting that after the moratorium was over and the AFL was again even, North won two flags.

Typical of Hawthorn who pad out flags by dishonesty. Proves the AFL have no balls unlike the NRL who don't stand for cheating.

Shame AFL shame.

 

[Footy Is The Win]

Hawthorn are cheating scumbags, and finally it's about to catch up with 'em.

The truth and all the piss and shit stains are going to come out in the wash.

No doubt Kennett has been pulling a few strings of late as well, corrupt arseh*le he is.

Hawthorn have been cheating their arse of for years, everybody knew it, and now we can prove it.

1 St.Kilda Flag > 10* Hawthorn Flags! That is how shit you are. St.Kilda won a flag before you's ever could, . Is this why you's began to cheat?

 

[Cosmic Energy]

So to take this to the obvious conclusion....we will be awarded the 1989 premiership, yes? Although they don't seem to have been forthcoming with our '95 premiership as yet. But I'm sure they'll get around to it. "We're sorry, Geelong"

Oh and eventually they'll investigate the Eagles rapid muscular development in the early 90s, so then we'll pick up '92 & '94 as well.

So that was 4 flags in 7 years, including back to back and a drought that wasn't that bad really. We truly are the greatest team of all.

 

[Les Norton]

I have known for years now (through an impeccably good source) that during the late 80's one of our best players wife was paid approximately $100k by the club to answer phone and arrange raffles.

More than one way to skin a cat

 

[Pessimistic]

The entire VFL left the VFA so they could beak thir 'salary cap'

How far back do you want to go ?

Culcha

 

[Bay 13 God]

The salary cap was bought in to stop Hawthorn, Carlton and Essendon from winning everything all the time. This is true

The cap came after these teams had a lot of success. This is true.

The only time the cap was breached in this period was 1990, no other way to explain the anomaly of that flag.

 

[Poseidon]

KB is a huge wankbag. Time for this senile old fool to be carted off to the retirement home.

 

[Cthublhu]

KB is so irrational you'd swear he is on drugs!

Has anyone ever seen KB and Ben Cousin's arse in the same room?
