Is it more of a national interest than say the ABC?

Re: AFL 2013
In the case of Collingwood, now. Better still, be more socialist and charge Collingwood and other profitable Victorian clubs more to hire the MCG & Docklands to subsidise the strugglers.yob wrote:Now it begs the question. Now that the public investment in the sport is bearing fruit, at what point can tax payers turn around and say no more subsidies, you can afford to pay your own way?

Re: AFL 2013
So what's the deal with this story? If the AFL didn't get agreement with Essendon that Hird's suspension would be unpaid why are they kicking up a fuss about it? I mean, private seething is understandable given they screwed up the terms of the suspension but making it public seems stupid.

Re: AFL 2013
Eh, they didn't get the outcome they wanted first time so they're just trying to pressure a better one.
What I find amazing is the club rewards staff for doing nothing, pays $2 million in fines, and has a debt reduction drive running parallel to all of this - seemingly in some alternative universe that only Essendon fans live in.
Your membership $ at work.

The AFL has suspended payments to Essendon.
Is the sh*t about to hit the fan?

Oh dear.
12 months paid annual leave, taken as a lump sum in advance, and not drawing down on your annual leave entitlements. That's effectively what this sanction is.
But it's okay - AFL is rool profeshnl.

These days? This is the mob done for systematic rorting of the salary cap and drat tampering over a period of years in the 90s. The club has shown form for a long time.Simmo79 wrote:They're a pretty disreputable mob running the dons these days. What a cun.t move

And the latest from the bogan game:
http://www.afl.com.au/news/2013-12-18/i-felt-scared
Charged with assault: tick.
Plead not guilty, found guilty: tick.
Scolded by judge for having hands in pockets while the verdict is read out: tick.
The good news for members, and their money, is West Coast will continue to employ him.
