The AFL is currently looking into possible salary cap violations involving two clubs, as revealed by Eddie McGuire and Jimmy Bartel during a recent episode of Nine’s podcast, Eddie and Jimmy. The discussion arose when Bartel noted that if he were the manager of Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera, he’d reconsider contract negotiations upon seeing the offers others were reportedly receiving.
In a light-hearted yet intriguing exchange, McGuire chimed in, joking about teams that seem to operate outside the confines of salary cap regulations. Bartel responded by confirming that one club is indeed under investigation, before adding that there are two teams implicated in total. While McGuire appeared to be aware of the circulating gossip about the clubs in question, he did not speculate that St Kilda was among them.
The conversation showcased the dynamic between the two former football stars, who effortlessly transitioned from discussing contractual matters to lighter topics, like the mowing patterns of the MCG, leaving the inquiry into salary cap breaches temporarily behind. The AFL has been approached for further clarification on the matter.
