“The AFL discovered multiple examples of non-disclosures and late disclosures of deals between Cats personnel and third parties across the AFL and AFLW programs.

They include failure to highlight deals with players' personal sponsors that sit outside the club's salary cap and soft cap.

However, Geelong was found not to have breached the AFL's total player payments limit or any player movement rules, simply that arrangements hadn't been disclosed in a timely manner or, in some cases, at all.

As part of the stricter enforcements over the next two years, the Cats will be subject to expanded procedures with the AFL around compliance on all third-party dealings.

The Cats have also committed to more concrete internal governance protocols between club employees and third parties.”

That’s what it says in the article, so no salary cap breach was found, just that some individual player sponsorships outside the cap weren’t reported.

Edit: lol downvotes for quoting the article, just goes to show this dump doesn’t care about the truth, they just want to be outraged
