Clubs vs AFL

[Albert_Thurgood]

@Stressed_out

It would be very hypocritical if our president is one of the ones demanding that the review is independent. Yet I expect that is exactly the case.

How in the world could you expect that?

In the history of the VFL/AFL has an Essendon President EVER demanded ANYTHING? Despite all the ■■■■ they have dealt up to us over the decades.

Let me remind you of a few of them:

from the extremely unjust Coleman suspension losing us a flag, to them ending TD’s career,
to all the rule changes introduced exactly in time to deny us having the benefit many other clubs have had,
to the extremely egregious stitch up presided over by Vlad and his Rsole mate Gil that has sentenced the club to 8 years (and counting) of shitt

Through all that and more, our Presidents have sat through without a squeak. Why do you think the current Caspar Milquetoast will say anything, let alone “demand” it???

Think how hard you have to work to make people, people who are willing to pay good money to stand in the rain in the freezing cold week in week out watching their team get thrashed, actively hate football. That doesn’t come cheap.

Gold!

As I’ve said before, the AFL has about 25 execs that are paid more than 50% more than the Australian Prime Minister.

That’s 25 people who get paid more than approximately 800,000 a year. In a not for profit organisation.

TWENTY FIVE.

Meanwhile during the pandemic clubs had to lay off their community engagement officers, who actually do great work, and all get paid about 40,000 a year.

The joint has been an uncontrolled gravy train for Gil and his Xavier meathead mates for ever.

Burn it down.

Where are you getting that number from?
Warner’s article specifically says about a dozen averaging $880k.

I agree with your point though even if it is a dozen

Sometimes I tried to find shelter during the rain.

If the AFL finally cave in to the external pressure, then they can always count on Ziggy to deliver the external report they require.

Nothing wrong with an external review of the AFL - it will probably recommend some tinkering at the edges BUT it will be a shock if Gil is found to be unsuitable.

[Bully]

Gill has been a shitload better than demetriou and his clown mate adrian anderson imo.

[SMJ]

Gil is literally the same as Vlad, apart from the fact that Gil does ice while Vlad only did ice cream

Lol

[SMJ]

Hahaha.

Gil’s cavalry riding to his rescue, right on cue.
