THE AFL and Carlton have organised a deal allowing more than half of Chris Judd's contentious payments as a Visy ambassador to be paid as part of the Blues' injury payments allowance.

It was thought Judd's annual payments, of between $200,000 and $250,000, which until late last year had not been included under the salary cap, were now entirely included under the cap.

However, Fairfax Media can reveal more than $100,000 has been included as part of injury payments, with the remainder under the salary cap. The former captain is also paid a separate additional service agreement (ASA).

Judd's Visy deal is paid over the financial year. This has allowed some of the money he was owed in the final year of his six-year deal to be included in the last financial year and some in the current financial year.
