Pretty much. The AfL will justify it, but essentially the deals were not done and shouldn't stand. Apart from the obvious lack of AFL integrity, it probably doesn't really matter 1 Quote

Apart from the obvious lack of AFL integrity, it probably doesn't really matter There was a system in place where clubs just had to get an email into the AFL on the deal they were working on before 7.30pm. That's why clubs were allowed to still complete deals after the deadline. Quote

What is the definition of a completed deal? Why should they be allowed to f around for so long ad leave until the end? Quote

They have over a week to get it done and then people are emailing at 7.29pm to get extra time. Quote

Don't forget the AFL wanted to try and maximise ratings/clicks and having deals fall right at 7:30 to build the suspense. 1 Quote

I definitely understand that. It's all about Gil filling his pockets with ad and tv revenue. Quote
