Hopefully they Can reach an agreement with Peel regarding Broadbent.

Paul Lekias and Co at Peel are a bit unrealistic as to how they are going to fit Knobel, Reidy, Benning, Mitch Edwards and Broadbent in order to get the best out of them all.
 
The club done ****ed up. Breached the TPP in 2021.

Yet $ubiaco managed to slide through all the loopholes.
 


To all our valued members, partners and stakeholders,

We write to directly address the total player payments sanctions that were revealed on Monday evening.

This is a difficult time and situation for our Football Club, most notably for our supporters and players, and we acknowledge this.

We want all South Fremantle people to be aware that these wounds are not fatal, we are a proud Club, steeped in 123 years of tradition, history & success.

The fabric of this place is our people, and we will all bind together to get through this.

Provided below are some FAQs, prepared and circulated here, to assist with understanding.

What has happened?
We have been found guilty of unintentionally breaching the salary cap (TPP) following a procedural Audit as a 2021 WAFL Grand Finalist.

How could this occur?
A small number of administrative and communication errors were made which resulted in the breaches. Our TPP compliance did not meet the regulatory standards that are placed upon us as a WAFL Club.

When did SFFC find out about the potential breaches?
Following a procedural WAFC TPP investigation, that commenced on 30 August 2022. With the final position, findings and sanctions revealed in the past week.

Are SFFC going to fight the outcome/penalty?
We have worked tirelessly to discuss and negotiate terms, this is public.
Ultimately, we must accept the sanctions & take ownership for some process failings and we did not elect to go to Arbitration.

Who is at fault here?
Our Club is at fault. The WAFC findings identified that our football governance had shortcomings and we lacked some procedure & communication expected & necessary under WAFL rules.

What changes has the Club/Board implemented so this doesn't happen again?
We have taken considerable steps to enhance & strengthen our TPP and other football compliance responsibilities, ensuring no further exposure to breaches.

We have reviewed & changed roles, added people & tightened procedures & compliance requirements and improved our communication mechanisms, both internally and externally. We have full confidence in these changes.

Will the sanctions significantly impact the Club or our people?
The sanctions are severe and will impact us on and off the field. There is no hiding from this. However, we are confident we can overcome these setbacks, and deliver a successful season.

We hold a firm belief that we will perform strongly in 2023, and we must now support our players, coaches and football staff to do their best job.

We conclude with the Club’s sincere apology.

We are a great football Club, and all our energy now turns to winning games of Football and making you, our supporters, proud.

Sincerely,
Peter Christie & Cameron Britt
President & CEO
South Fremantle Football Club
 
Parker is back at the club. He was the runner today, is playing reserves next week, then is available for selection the week after. He stepped away for a bit and was told by the leadership group that he can't just come back and play league straight away.

Good stuff, hope things are well with him. Any word on Schlensog?
 
Florenca is also close to coming back but they are being extremely cautious with his return. If he picks up another big injury that will effectively be 3 years he will miss so they want to make sure his body is 100% before playing again.
 
I can't believe Moss Street still can't beat us even when we are s**t.
That is now 15, fifteen, one five, 15, on the trot another ten and we will have the same number of two of our great ruckmen.
By the way, I am admin on a site called South Fremantle Bulldogs Memorabilia. It is worth a l;ook if are an older or even a newer Bulldog supporter.
Feel free to join and have a peek.
Sorry for admin here if this is out of line.Remove if it is not allowed.
 
Who was the kid playing second ruck yesterday. A high leaper.
And where did the blonde headed goal kicker come from .Is he a Bulldog junior, or has he been recruited tot he club?
Solomon James. Saw him play in the pre-season match vs NT and did some good stuff.


Forward was Kaden Harbour, looks like he came from East Perth colts. That last goal was great. Not sure about the haircut though...
