TOPIC:

At the beginning of the Swans Subi reserves game (come on Swans) it was reported that EF are under investigation for salary cap issues. 

It supposes that the Streaming service a Worst owned outlet is a reputable source.

Oh well the flack is going to be interesting!

Grump ....only a matter of time EF would be sussed out, trying to keep up with their neighbour's and other WAFL clubs getting salary cap creative....disappointing to hear.....but sadly not surprising if on the money in todays WAFL financial climate...something about dodgy superannuation  and footyboot payments??....

As for the penalties....well TBH, not sure EF should be allowed to play finals this year in all fairness, set a precedent if needed......but even with a similar  penalty to SF.....EF would of still finished top of the 🪜percentage wise

It is always a worry for me with what clubs have to available to pay players and produce a top end product.

You will cop a flogging from the usual numpties, Souths folk have reason to be angered and shoot at you but just stay calm and not get into the personal crap from others that is coming your way!

Good to see your honesty freezin. There is precedence here Perth Glory under Kenny Lowe were sitting pretty at the top of the A League ladder then were stripped of all match points and banned from playing finals even if they managed to win enough games to qualify.

Was a mass player exodus that followed led by Danny Vukovic who was livid. I was always curious what this "magic" was that you referred to when you would say hopefully Doddy can weave his magic. Now we know. 😂

Doddy should hit up Marty Atkins to ask him what he's doing for a crust these days. Sounds on the surface like this could be worse than $ouths breach. With your club already suffering a big financial loss last year your club might be calling on Korda Mentha. Though they are busy atm managing Glory's situation.

Full story by JT on Sportfm. Wouldn't it be ironic if the previous Korda Mentha clients got parachuted into the finals? 🤣

With nothing officially yet announced our source seems to be John Townsend. Maybe he can reveal his source. Definitely think JT should have waited and not jumped the gun on this.

Ti Em and others do you really want to play finals this year and potentially win a flag that will be forever tainted with a massive asterisk ✳️ next to it?

You might be better taking your medecine now if it means you start 2024 off scratch instead of a handicap.

Behave DD.

Problem is EF recruited more for 2023 then they did in 2022 with Marsh, Lawler, Turner coming to EF and Dixon and Joyce coming back from WCE....still scratching my head how EF went over in 2022 considering Strnadica, Dixon, Joyce and Teakle all went last minute to the AFL and only Goddard came in as the replacement.

Happy to take any banter coming EF way, if as bad as folk are saying, then heads at EF surely need to roll.

This is exactly what the WAFL did not need on the first day of finals. I am despondent that our once great footy league has been reduced to off field stuff ups, shoddy accounting and teams being penalised premiership points like an amateur organisation. Surely now if East Fremantle are guilty of this offence there needs to be a thorough review of why clubs are struggling with the salary cap and the accounting methods used.
 

I think all clubs cheat in the WAFL let’s be honest, maybe Claremont don’t have need too.  Every one needs to be realistic that it is an uneven comp, zones alignments $$.  Get on with it and do your best.
