We all laughed at the Chris Judd deal to be an ambassador to Visyboard, one of the Blues major sponsors.   It was ticked off as okay but in hindsight even Judd himself laughs that his actual hours were low and his hourly rate was astronomical!!! 
 

now this … 

Geelong coach Chris Scott has been appointed Chief of Leadership & Performance at Morris Finance - a key Cats sponsor

crazy!!!

    Add this to the Bailey Smith Cotton On deal, or the nice little land packages on offer down there…. AFL say they are keeping an ‘eye on it’, but really what can they actually do?

    After the Judd special deal I thought they rewrote the rules to include external package into the salary cap calculation.  I assume the same for the soft cap?

    epl has no salary cap but about 10 years ago it introduced a rule limiting losses.

    So you can spend as much money as you make.(favours big clubs)

    Anyway Manchester city is now in danger of relegation on the basis of:

    1. That amounts paid by Abu Dhabi went way beyond arms length sponsorship agreements

    2. Amounts paid to the Manchester city coach to advise Abu Dhabi football were disguised salary payments.

    The sporting world awaits the outcome which should come by the end of January.

    Sports accounting has come a long way from the Saturday post game sling

    And an incredibly smug Scott on 7 News tonight. “Go ask they AFL” - it’s been ticked off.

    Geelong must have photos/videos of the AFL HQ senior staff... these guys getaway with everything. Not only do they gift farms and other back alley deals to players (including shutting up the media). Now the coach is involved with one of its key sponsors. Talk about conflict of interest.

    Yep. The late Frank Costa set them up beautifully on so many levels….

    Mitch Cleary reporting …

    Chris Scott has had a role with Morris Finance for several years which was initially ticked off by the AFL.
    However the League is looking into the Chief of Leadership + Performance position that was announced last week. 

    It’s understood multiple rival clubs have raised eyebrows

    Geelong have been taking the p 1 double 5 for years and the AFL just say 'we are keeping an eye on it'.... that means sweet FA

    Obviously they all read Demonland.

    It will be approved. Once you have a willing sponsor it's not hard to construct a role. The one protection is the Corporations Law but in reality it only imposes brakes on listed companies in that all payments need to be in the interests of shareholders and properly characterised.

    The answer is to have a prohibition on all non football payments unless positively approved by the AFL. It's not that unusual as many employment contracts prohibit outside employment unless approved by the employer. While strictly speaking the AFL is not the employer of the coach or players but they are the regulators.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
