Lets not kid ourselves no-one that owns a business steps right out of the action and lets it be taken over by others. He would have major influence and knowledge from player clients. Front page news for trivial stuff like Lance whitnell and yet blatent conflicts of interest s like this go unmentioned. The whole AFL is like an 'Old Boys Club' and even though its a big business it only gets worse. Once your in the AFL system its like a job for life as People jump from position to position and club to club. This is just another example.
Needless to say this FACT gets little coverage in the media, who although like to make out they ruffle feathers, its only to a point.
Its time all aspects of the AFL had some new life breathed into it, especially in the media so that there is at least some transperancy in a ever growing multi million dollar industry.
Just my opinion.
