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.

They're not even represented on this panel.  Whoever they are.

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

How useful. 

I thought you had left this area of town.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
