Did all clubs get a warning from the WAFC recently that this would be what they can expect for cap breaches or have they just pulled this out of a hat. As others have said how Peelmantle have gotten off so lightly after 2 serious breaches hints of a two sets of rules situation.

SS, the WAFL CEO this morning on 91.3 stated that all the clubs participated and signed off on the penalties in 2014, when was the Peel incident ?

2020

Late Edit: and it wasn't the only one

I think it was 1989 that Mandurah Football Club called all us members for a meeting. There was a “shortage” of monies that had been a bit “mismanaged”, so they asked us  for a loan to help them out. It may not have been AFL days, but….gee.  And SF cop this for a first offence???

It’s hard to fathom the penalty without knowing the full details of the breach - if it’s as simple as an administrative error the penalty looks excessive.

There seems a real lack of transparency in the whole process and you have to wonder why.

Mark Duffield said the same thing in his article, lack of transparency and dragging feet on outcomes.

Looks like the Football Manager is going to be the scapegoat for some sloppy work from the leaders. MA leaving for other opportunities 

hahahaha

While Marty Atkins was back at the club it has consolidated ops and got to a net position of around $4.4 /4.5 Million including cash and a fair push into the community and sometimes beyond - not sure it's his position that would come under scapegoat and I think we're doing ok out in our community , and then there was the Darwin revisit which was an outstanding success
All footy things come to an end at some point

So whos position should come under scrutiny Southerner? 

If anyone had to step aside you'd think it would be a CEO or a President mate 

So Marty has been made the bunny or was he the one who made the "clerical error".

Who’s idea was it to hand the FM reigns to him? This confirms what I heard a few weeks ago.

The smoke and mirrors game being played by the front office doesnt help with the speculation. 

As DD has stated the people who handed him the reigns of FM have thrown him under the bus to cover their ar##.
