Its obviously gotten to a stage where the AFL has looked at the damage being done to their brand by us being so shiit, and has decided to fix it. CS out PJ in. I mean, its just a departmental shift. Jackson was working for the AFL before, he is working for them now. Now the next phase, where Jackson brings in his fix up crew of AFL bods, including a new coach, then maybe a few players. A good chunk of AFL cash is probably on the way too.

We can only hope BBB particularly the cash component we are going to need tr Truckloads

Any way the AFL stooges who take over have to be able to do a better job than this bunch who have proved to be completely shambolic

Hooray! Free cash! Maybe that'll offset the farcical $500k fine!

Who are they going to swing in ? Im sure the AFL has a pretty good network in place

All of these things are OK with me. What's the alternative? I don't think Diamond Joe is lurking in the shadows with his cheque book out (Although with the season quickly turning into a soap opera I could actually see that being our final episode cliff hanger).

Yep, good with me too. With the AFL backing we will get access to talent that private funding would find difficult to access.

When he was interviewed on SEN PJ said he was first approached by Demetriou to see if he would be interested in taking the job. They said that Demetriou merely suggested to the club that he would be a good fit, but we can all read the subtext there. Still, he's a very good administrator, the AFL love him and we clearly needed something to change. I have absolutely no problem with them pushing him on us right now.
