I say go for it Larry - my experience has been positive by adopting Big Footy vernacular in the workplace.

Took me a while but I soon worked out this site replaces "That Word" with "campaigner" ...well I think that is what is going on, and I have since adopted this approach at work. I no longer call the annoying old bastard That Word, instead I call him a campaigner - and I now spend a lot less time in front of HR as a result.

Best bit is he is oblivious and thinks it is a term of endearment or sign of respect, like he is some battle-hardened experienced warrior or something, the silly campaigner.

Campaigner really is one of the great substitute words

 

[Magruder]

Not a rumour, 100% fact. Big name recruits are given minimal fee "leases" on cars and houses by the clubs sponsors
100% above board and nothing the AFL can do about it.

of course it's fact...

they are quite often given opportunities to:
- purchase equity in property development vehicles. (at ground floor rates).
- obtain businesses for partners/family that are quite often run under management agreements, (ie no active involvement save collecting a semi regular income stream - heck some of these agreements may be roughly aligned to the length of the player's contract)
- acquire and then on-sell intangible assets/performance rights/licenses.

It's a step up from when every $5, $10 & $100 note in the social club tills were collected on Sundays & Mondays and stuffed into the glove box of a certain CFC CHF's latest "lease" car. (but the principle is the same)

 

[Obzerva]

was told this about a few Jeeps

Interesting, the one I heard was the same club, but the main player involved pre dated the Jeep sponsorship.

He had a directions hearing in the Supreme Court in a defamation case. Trust me, he was rather pissed off about it. Judge went bananas when he was late.

Already is...

 

[ford71]

Been using Campaigner at work and with mates for ages now.

I only hear it one way, the real meaning is lost forever.

Election "campaigns" are aptly named really. All the campaigners doing their campaigning

What..... you mean some of this thread is suss????

Is this a rumour or fact?

here is a "campaigner"

That is not a campaigner, that is a legend...

 

[Lemma]

But that's why it's so great. Because any campaigner (ie. someone who campaigns) I can think of is actually also a massive campaigner

Maybe this could be what Carlton offered to their new HBF??
