Earlier this year I happened to be at an Essenendon Football Club function where Andrew Demetriou spoke. He mentioned the AFL's new media department, and basically he said it was created because the AFL were sick of the rubbish the mainstream media were producing.

Like him or not, these kind of articles highlight why the AFL want some control over how the game is covered in the media.

Not sure the AFL can control what journos write.

What they can and want to do however is produce the visual content that they will sell to the highest bidder in packages of Friday night games, finals etc. Channels will use their own commentators.

We will all have the option to pay say $10 a week to have the AFL produced game content streamed to the device of our choice including internet connected TVs. The AFL will reap billions out of this. Far higher than selling the rights to FTO TV stations.

Tomorrow the world......

Again, his words were that the AFL and players were sick of non-football issues being covered more than the football itself.

Concerning that Tappy is hanging out with these two rocket scientists.

And I have read that COl is unhappy Beemer has been turfed. With Col an UFA in 2014 will be interesting to see how this year goes.....

Beamer turfed himself.

Tappy need to choose his friends wisely especially if there is any truth to the rumour that it was Beamer talking to the Inquisition.

I got that. But when you have more accredited media than footy players then they are all searching for a story to fill the back pages. The AFL might want to write content but they cant force the papers to use it.

You are expecting a change Jnr?

Probably. As one poster put it. Col has a good year and he will get offers. Col has a bad year we probably won't want him after 9 season. The only way I see him staying is if he has a reasonable year and we are looking OK to play finals for the next couple of years.

......other than those matters selectively leaked from the Integrity Department at AFL HQ !!

But you are correct.

So therefore "guilty by association" by being in a happy snap taken by a footy fan...meanwhile where were Jack, Jack, and Max ?

This should be good for another pumped up story, eh ?

Tapscott tried to leave, but just when he thought he was out, they pulled him back in.

Sylvia may well benefit from a Moloney free environment. Brent is not exactly a good role model I'm reliably informed.

So it was. Sorry I couldn't be bothered searching back though to find out where I read it! I agree with your sentiments.

Sylvia is not a good role model full stop and its got nought to do with Moloney.

And I think anything that I am aware that Moloney has done pales against the patchy off field performance of our Col.
