The AFL Players' Association has fined one of its accredited agents $10,000 for using football boots and a six pack of beer as inducements to sign with him.

Michael Oakes, a relatively small player in player agency whose organisation Elevation Sports Agency manages a handful of AFL players including Adelaide's Hugh Greenwood, as well as Australian cricketer Andrew Tye, was found to have breached inducement provisions of the AFLPA regulations.

The AFL agent accreditation board, which includes experienced agents Tom Petroro and Peter Lenton, Melbourne tall Tom McDonald, AFLPA general manager of player relations Brett Murphy and AFL total player payments manager Ken Wood handed Oakes a $10,000 fine, of which $7500 is suspended for two years.

"At its most recent April meeting, the Agent Accreditation Board (AAB) met to consider whether player agent Michael Oakes had breached the inducement provisions of the AFLPA Regulations Governing Accredited Agents," the AFLPA said in a statement provided to The Age.

"After considering the findings of an investigation into the matter and the submissions of Oakes, the AAB was satisfied that Oakes has breached clause 4 of the Code of Conduct by providing inducements to unsigned players.
