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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
