It seems the new CBA failed to gain 75% player agreement.  Relationships are getting freyed.

CBA Fails

The good fold at the AFLPA do not know much about how to win women over:  The AFLPA stressed to the players on Sunday that “all members have provided us the authority to make decisions on their behalf.  As such we could have entered into the CBA on players’ behalf without taking this to a vote”.

How condescending!  Are they really saying:  "... we know what is best for you...just sign here..."

    What's condescending about it?

    "But in a leaked email to players, he accused some players of using "the media and an external legal organisation to conduct an aggressive and damaging PR campaign" against the association."

    I believe he's saying that some players, and some clubs specifically, who are attempting to use the CBA as a bludgeon will suddenly find themselves with a signed and sealed CBA if their delays further hinder the rollout of season 2020.

    The draft is in two weeks.  Pre-season can't be scheduled until a CBA is in place.  They are demanding a CBA that almost doubles the number of home and away games from 7 in 2019 to 13 in 2020.  Are venues even available for that?  Not to mention support staff (both club and ground), catering, television, radio, sponsors..

    A pure power play that deservedly got hit with a reminder that not only are the vast majority of players happy with the proposed CBA but that such willful and damaging obstruction can and will be rendered void if necessary.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
