He got the top job in June. he's making the right moves in terms of footy at the moment. Just what do you think he's done wrong since taking over?

Claiming he can fix things beyond his control, like the price of chips ... thats his claim to fame, populist yet undeliverable.

Its possibly more damaging to the codes image to have clubs with a decided financial advantage over the rest of the competition. And then waging a media war against their owners when they are told if they dont drop it straight away they'll lose the right to trade.

Actually he never said he could fix them he said the league would try to. And thats yet to be determined, whatever bigfooty lynch mobs believe.
But it's not a decided advantage. It's a fully justified equalisation measure approved by the AFL and all clubs.
The media war was started by Fat Eddie and swallowed by the AFL. Obvious to anyone with an IQ over 3.

And consequently unapproved by the AFL. The AFL Giveth, and the AFL taketh away. And the clubs didnt approve it, they werent required to under the leagues constitution they had no say in it.
A soft, public servant's reply. Pathetic.
The AFL prospers because of the people who support it.
This is what gets ratings which gets TV deals which gets money.
The AFL commission are just suits who are put there to represent the people who get them the money.
No doubt you would vote "Liberal" because they're "better economic managers" and you swallow 3 word slogans from mealy-mouthed lawyers-cum-politicians.
Any more soft than another Swans fan trying to justify COLA?
A mistake was made that is now being fixed. Just admit it, like the AFL are finally doing. Always the first step.

How did you figure it out then?
Leg End mate let it go. Why are you putting your energy into trying to explain something to them when they clearly do not care.
But the way the AFL is acting borders on the ridiculous. For what its worth I support extra concessions for the clubs in development states, its good for the growth of our game.
His wage would have been decided by the board.

I dont agree with your position, so it makes me a moron? What narrow minded crap.
I warned people some pages back to take this COLA discussion elsewhere and yet it comes back. Next up: bans.
I guess you view the whole world thru this ideological porthole?
Correct weight, and his bonuses linked to overall revenue. If AD was getting overpaid that would be the board's fault for setting the wrong KPIs. AD will be remembered as one of the great AFL CEOs don't worry about that.
The appointment of Liz Lukin underlines the importance of spin in Gils regime, anything coming out of AFL House will have more spin than a Murali doosra. Sleeping with dogs begets fleas.
Suggestions the formerly close relationship between Gil & Andy is fractured, anyone got the story on why?

Yeah, apparently it is over North Melbourne. Andy wanted North to relocate to the Gold Coast, once that fell through Gil counted - he sent North Melbourne down to Tasmania, Andrew wasn't happy with this. Gil clearly overstepped the mark. Mediation was organised and it was decided that North would make Ballarat their home. Fed up with this, Andrew retired, called Gil a rouge - so out of spite Gil sent North back down to Tasmania.

Evans deserves a lot of credit.
Since he sort of took over from the peanut Anderson, a lot more common sense is creeping back in.
Adrian Anderson and his ambulance chasing way of thinking set this comp back 5-10 years.

The real issue s that the food isn't worth the price, if it was better cooked then maybe the case could be made for the prices and there is nothing stopping one from taking food into the ground.
