"The 2022 OMFNL Senior football premiership awarded to the Wangaratta FNC cannot be recognised due to the AFL Victoria APP Rule breach," the Board confirmed in a statement on Tuesday afternoon.Player-coach of the Magpies, Ben Reid, was a former key defender for Collingwood in the AFL.
"Where a breach is proven, innocent mistake or otherwise, the League simply cannot award a Premiership where sanctions are handed out that bring into focus the integrity of the competition."The Wangaratta Football and Netball Club had previously claimed their $28,000 breach of the league's $125,000 salary cap was unintentional.
The club earlier this month was fined $28,000 for the breach, which was self-reported, and hit with a range of sanctions after it failed to lodge player declarations or non-declared player statements correctly and exceeded the salary cap. The sanctions included being ineligible to receive premiership match points in the first two games, and having total team points reduced by four for the entire 2023 season.The sanctions were handed down by the AFL North East Border Disciplinary Committee.Find more local news
