oh what a bloody coincidence Eddie McGuire works for channel 9... what a joke this is all becoming!

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.

how is this allowed?

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.

Don't think the AFL does transparency!

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
