The Outer East league has confirmed two of its clubs are being investigated by AFL Victoria as part of a statewide crackdown on player payments.

AFL Victoria have conducted salary cap checks of every team that made a grand final last season.

OEFNL chief executive officer Brett Connell said two clubs from his league were being “put through the integrity review’’ by AFL Victoria.

“We put six up of which we were required to by AFL Victoria,’’ he said.

“Four are passed and then two were put through the integrity review by AFL Victoria. That’s where it’s up to now.’’

Connell hoped for an outcome this week.

Last week, Sunraysia Football League runner-up Robinvale-Euston was slapped with an initial $11,500 fine for breaches of salary cap rules last year.

Connell said all leagues were committed to the salary cap as the key tool in controlling expenditure on players.
