    How do you think Lyon and the Ox picked up media gigs. Ian Johnson ring a bell anyone.

    ...but I do get your point, particularly when Cloke is still playing and he's hardly the most polished media performer going around.

    Not going to do a lot for ch 9's ratings. I've seen sherin footballs with more personality.

    I am fairly certain there is a media allowance that sits outside of the salary cap isn't there? Clubs choose how they assign this to players (if they use it). I seem to recall that clubs like the roos, doggies and us made comments to the effect that they could not afford to spend this on players and that was a disadvantage still to the poorer clubs.

    Or did I miss the point of your comment in that how the heck is Travis Cloke allowed on TV? if thats your question.... I can't answer that, its a mystery that anyone would consider him a competent media personality!

    ... I wonder if the CH9 news might use him to cover schoolies ! :)

    Each club has an allocation that can be spent outside of the salary cap. I know in 2011 it was $573k per year. I'm sure this amount has risen to at least $600k now. This doesn't have to be spread accross the team, it can all go to an individual if they want. This money is OUTSIDE the cap. I'm sure this is exactly what Cloke's arrangement is associated with. I guess this means players such as Thomas, Pendles and Swan all miss out. (Our chance to swoop?)

    Our players get some money, look at Watts in those stupid commercials, or Jamar and Dunn dancing around the big screen on match days.

    Source - Clause 16 - http://mm.afl.com.au/portals/0/afl_docs/afl_hq/policies/collective_bargaining_agreement_2007_2011.pdf

    P.S - Been looking for the most recent CBA for a while, can anyone help me find this?

    On a different note: The investigations Manager mentioned in 16.5 better have lost his job after signing off on Judd's deal!

    "The Investigations Manager must be satisfied that an Additional Services

    Agreement is bona fide and if he is not so satisfied, the payments made by the AFL
    Club or Sponsor of an AFL Club under the Additional Services Agreement shall be
    included in the Total Player Payments of the AFL Club. "

    After Robbo's "scoop" this morning I would like to see the AFL come out with a list of all players receiving an ambassadorial payment. I heard that Natanui receives a payment (promoting the game to Fijians - hope Rodan gets the same to promote the game to breakdancers) and that Pavlich also receives an additional payment through the AFL. Who knows what for though. To hear Vlad's outcry over the article - what a load of bollocks. If Buddy decided to go to GWS , the ink on the cheque wouldn't be dried before it got to him. What a sham.

    Travis Cloke its been announced has a 5 Year contract with CH-9's the Footy Show, and their 6pm news.

    I won't be watching.

    Same as what Buckley got when Eddie was King of FS.

    Don't think the AFL does transparency!

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
