where in your initial post above did you indicate that the director was at a meeting with the commission ?

Mudlark and LB let us start with some logic. If Swans were and I quote "roughly 20% over the salary cap" at the halfway mark of the 2014 season for Swans to be under the salary cap at the end of the season it would mean that over 20% of the salary cap would have had to be repaid by the Swans' players. A patently nonsensical proposition. Therefore, it is patently untrue that Swans' were over the salary cap at any stage during the 2014 season.

I personally spoke to both the Swans' President and Treasurer about the rumours about the salary cap and relayed their comments and repudiation of the rumours on this forum last year.

To further emphasise the patent nonsense of both Mudlark's and Lb's assertions here is a direct and unexpurgated quote from our Treasurer:

"At no stage were we ever in danger of breaching the cap in 2014.
When the WAFC looked at our figures after 10 games they divided our payments so far by 10 and multiplied by 20 and determined that if we continued to pay at that rate we would be over the cap.
What they didn't take into account ( a fact they soon realised ) is that we brought forward some payments in advance to accommodate special needs. At no stage were we ever in danger of breaching the cap in 2014."

Now Mudlark and LB the ball is in your court to provide evidence about the salary cap breaches in 2014 and the ATO arrangements since you and Clear-View seem to know more than Swans' directors.

If you don't have any evidence then a complete and unreserved apology should appear on this forum with alacrity from Mudlark, LB and Clear-View.

Why would the Commission be talking to another club's directors in a meeting about Swan Districts financial position?
42 this information should also be passed onto our Treasurer and President I would think!

I frankly don't care Swan just pointing out the facts. Each club can spend 5% of the cap per game on average. Swans where exceeding 5% for the first half of the year they rectified this by whatever means. What about this do you disagree with.

LOL.......perhaps it is written in a letter some where MO.....any chance you can name those EF players responsible for Stavros resignation first?......I did politely ask you a wee while back......

42......think you SD boys need to invest into some shares of self depreciation......any negativity towards SDFC and you boys do get very menstrual like....,.why do you really care if folk are saying SD were over their cap mid way through the year?..ultimately you rectified it at the appropiate time......well done for doing that......just be content with that and let us opposition fans continue to have our SDFC depreciation discussion.......and yes BC comments were funny re SDFC and their umpiring, financial, goals from turn overs woes........the black and white bias from you boys is obvious toone and all here on ozfooty bar you SD boys and your bethren brothers........let us have our giggle at your expense.....just be content that you guys have the bestest oval, bestest can bar, bestest mostest fans, bestest juniors and the bestest Full Back in the state......it is ok to stuff up some times......sheet I do it all the time......

Not aware of the players concerned, just got told by an ex shark what happened, didn't ask for names as didn't really care.

If my info is not correct about the letter I will retract my comments.

Was that ex Shark told that information in a meeting with the Commission I wonder?

LB as I pointed out AT NO STAGE WAS Swan Distritcs over the salary cap in 2014. Any assertion that Swans was over the salary cap in 2014 has BEEN DEMONSTRABLY SHOWN to be unequivocally and unambiguously WRONG. You and Mudlark WERE COMPLETELY WRONG when you asserted that Swans were in breach of the salary cap in 2014.

Your premise is fundamentally flawed and is so lacking in logic to be mind-numbing.

Can you please find the post where I asserted Swans breached the salary cap. I know how much you love evidence.
