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!

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
