AFL's Super Panel announced.

[maximum bob 462]

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.

[Gator 16,893]

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.

[Dr. Gonzo 22,415]

Nice to see they added a token member from the continually kicked in the arse clubs.

[Clintosaurus 6,440]

Geelong well represented

[Jibroni 4,058]

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.

Nice, good to see the small Vic clubs well represented.

I don't normally go public with my contracts but I'll put up $10,000 for the first person to cut out Dangers tongue

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.
