AFL'S SUPER PANEL. The make up of the AFL's new 12-person "super panel" - now renamed as the "Competition Committee" - has been released. No fan rep though...

The panel reps are:
Club presidents Colin Carter (Geelong), Eddie McGuire (Collingwood) and Peggy O'Neal (Richmond).
CEOs Andrew Fagan (Adelaide), Justin Reeves (Hawthorn) and Andrew Ireland (Sydney). ...
Coaches Chris Fagan (Brisbane) and Brad Scott (North Melbourne).
Football managers Chris Davies (Port Adelaide) and Craig Vozzo (West Coast).
Players Patrick Dangerfield (Cats) and Steven May (Gold Coast).

Steve Hocking: "The AFL sought to balance representation across all parts of the competition, as well as the many different senior roles within our game – players, coaches, administrators, senior volunteer officials," Hocking said.

He forgot about fans though.....

The AFLFA contacted the AFL about having an AFLFA fan representative on the panel once its existence became public knowledge. The AFL initially wrote back and said the AFLFA would be in consideration however we did not hear from the AFL again after this.

Steve Hocking will chair the panel while the League will be represented by Jason Ball, Kylie Rogers and Nicole Livingstone.

Head of competitions and player movement Josh Vanderloo, and game analysis manager Patrick Clifton, will take part in meetings when necessary.

Thanks to the Australian Football League Fans Association for this. Apart from the fact there is no fan club president or cheer squad leader on the panel, even as a token, I'm a little surprised at a couple of the inclusions.

It's just another nonsense.

The AFL supposedly has a charter.

Yes it is...

Another layer for Dill to consult along with his polling before making a decision.

I actually find this type of stuff depressing, it offends me that they think I might believe their BS.

Nice to see that 4 of the five categories have complete knobs, specifically:

Eddie McGuire, Brad Scott, Chris Davies and Dangerfield.

Be curious to know what the criteria was for this popularity contest.

Anyone can see this panel is to advance the rich clubs to help them get bigger, every club should have 1 rep only not mostly Geelong and collingwood, they will be  bias to their own clubs all the small clubs will get screwed over.

Not always - the panel looks like genuine quality football people. I would not worry - if we the MFC had any concerns I’m sure the AFL would listen to us. Yes, it’s dissapointing we did not get a seat but the MFC as a whole club has to prove itself worthy and demonstrate in can put the game in front of self-interest - now that’s the big challenge for us.  

Anyway Peggy O’Neal is there we will be fine.

Right up your alley...but keep sitting in the fence

Peggy O’Neal is our representative, is she. 

How useful. 

I thought you had left this area of town.

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom
