McLachlan and Hocking must resign!

This frenzy of changes can only mean one thing.

The senior AFL exec bonus are tied directly to the size of the media rights. The broadcasters have let the AFL know that the way things are going, they should expect the next rights deal to be significantly less.

Yes. The whole thing stinks.
 
Re: McLaughlin and Hocking must resign!

Seems clear that chanel 7 have told the afl that they won't be feeding them zillion's of $ unless they get what they want. And they want it yesterday
 
Re: McLaughlin and Hocking must resign!

geeezuz...... i smell a rat
 
As Baloo said. We need a real journalist to follow self interest and find out what is driving it. I think the guess at bonuses tied to KPIs will be the one.
 
It is obvious that this is driven by self interest. i.e. money They are treating us like idiots and they need to be held accountable. Gil is the new James Hird.
 
These toss bags think this game is their personal play thing.

Gill the Dill will destroy this game.

Time the Gestapo realise WE the supporter own this game, WE pay his *smile* wage.

Deliberate out of bounds
5 metre *smile* ptotected zone
Ruck nominations thers 3 shocking rules
That should be given the arse
Do a survey gill on these see how many fans like them
Yeh exactly what the game needs more changes
And i thought we couldnt get a worse ceo than vlad f.md.

They consistently stuff up 'taking out the legs..'
And now are penalising blokes who stand their ground in marking contests.
Also there is no rule that says you cannot have a look at your opponents position prior to ball arriving, as long as you contest the ball fairly when it arrives

its madness
 
McLachlan has been a massive disappointment

Has had his grubby little mits all over a lot of cover-ups

Carlton tanking denials
Melbourne tanking denials and subsequent slap ove rather wrist when evidence emerged
Attempts to negotiate a slap over the wrist with the pin cushions until ASADA stepped in. Then threw the book at them to save himself
Looking after his mates involved in office scandals until the Chairman intervened. Then threw them under the bus

Needs to be moved on at the end of the year and replaced with Benny after we go back to back

Deliberate out of bounds is a great rule. Before they enforced it properly, the game (Swans Style) was painful.
Protected Zone is a good rule, it got to a point where a free kick was a disadvantage. Nominated rucks - yeah, that one sucks, and as a consequence will be gone next year.

There's a posse of real footy lovers with great experience trying to do the right thing by the game. I don't really understand all the panic and vitriol... It could be just the thing the game needs to make it better, and it honestly doesn't hurt to give it a try.

I just said something similar about Balmey on another thread.
 
Yep this is all about the money.
Key question is who is Gil answerable to?
Is it the AFL commission? Surely he’s ultimately accountable for the ‘state of the game’?
He’s made a lot of poor decisions in recent times.

Bingo! This is what you get with a boys club appointment. The AFL must have nepotism as an organisational value.
 
could we undertake an unprecedented collaboration with Collingwood fans via social media and

wear all black to The G on Saturday to mourn the passing of The Game?

Theoretically the AFL Commission, like a CEO is accountable to a Board of Directors. However they appear to have been toothless since Fitzpatrick was in charge.

mmmm

Gil
Hamish!

Who is the puppet master?

Their dad?
 
Councils, state and federal governments, the AFL’s commissions and executive.

None of them have any idea what the people really want, so out of touch with reality.

Just a bunch of self serving sycophants who want to justify their existence by introducing ridiculous laws and changes to what has served us so well for so long.

Get rid of all of them!

;D A good idea.

Eddie wouldn't be too happy though, he's as thick as thieves with Gill the Dill, and Vlad before him, and the MCC and the Andrews goverment :(

Yep, lets fire all the smart, experienced people willing to contribute to the public good and give the job to a keyboard warrior type on a footy forum.
