“Based on the information obtained and reviewed by AFL, the club did not violate the AFL TPP limit or AFL player movement rules in any season during the evaluated time period,” he said.
“Regarding the AFLW program, AFL found that the defined disclosurs were administrative mistakes and did not mean material violations of TPP rules or player movement rules,” AFL said.
