Yes it is, though it is a few years ago when I received my second passport photograph. If my critique of Stefan Szymański is correct, then the small Melbourne clubs of St. Kilda, Melbourne and North Melbourne can do that by simply shifting to profit maximisation whilst the larger clubs remain...

If that be true, AFL clubs will be obliged to shift from historic (at least de jure) win-maximisation to profit-maximisation. A shift to profit-maximisation would eliminate the possibility of clubs sacrificing maximum possible profit for extreme win percentages, and at least according to theory...

That may be historically true. However, if the game – not merely of football – is radically shortened, and of course with 10 minute quarters the game would have been already shortened by a whopping sixty percent compared to the pre-television game, it becomes much more possible to maximise the...
