It is deliberate at this point, the AFL gives FA about the integrity of the sport. Honestly you can buy decent small cameras for a couple hundred bucks.
Luckily we have most of our key players penciled in for the long term. We just need to be smart/cautious with our young guns like Kozzy, JVR, Rivers et al.
Btw GWS and GC will get the rub of the green this season, both already 2-0. The AFL must be salivating at the idea of their 2 experimental clubs to be contenders in September.
