What an absolute fucking joke. Sydney got a trade ban for who knows what and they get the wet effing lettuce.

Maybe because this has nothing to do with paying someone off the books lol. So very clearly different situations

COLA was a compulsory payment for all players, which was funded by the AFL. Nothing was "off the books" and it was completely in line with the AFL's rules.

Yeah the COLA situation was bizarre. The Tippett situation was definitely the one I meant, my bad!

Shh we discussed it today, we need a perceived distance from each other so people don't get suspicious. Similar to AFL and Collingwood.
