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!!! 

Season 6 What GIF by The Office

 

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

Should have happened about 7 years ago, meanwhile they have the last 4 titles!!!

Absolute Disgrace 

don’t get me started on Jeeelong!!!

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.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
