Depends on whether staff have breached any professional obligations?
Then again if Rupert has invested billions in amateurs his money goes down the drain I guess!
I mean if a few clubs have really been replaced by a separate network club supporters and subscribers drop off Murdoch's revenue stream don't they?
Clubs, players and AFL HQ lose their salaries I guess in the long run unless they are operating a short term trade anyway
I thought that was the business model?
As the old saying goes never trade with Collingwood!
Maybe it is avoid Eddies Network?
Question is are clubs dealing with GWS and are GWS a club and/or separate entity?
Or even why bother playing if it is all about shadow deals between power brokers? Is tanking by some even worthwhile or just part of the puzzle?
Kinda defeats the point of watching the footy and hurts Rupert's bottom line and ultimately AFL executives, club receipts and player payments to.
Magic, I don't think you'll find anyone here defending Fox News or Murdoch but what has that got to do with whether or not we'll get Treloar?
On a more relevant note, I don't mind getting Lamb as long as it's cheap as. Just because a player has been poor at other clubs doesn't mean they are poor. Sometimes it might be reaching an age where they are more ready to put their head down, sometimes it might be living in the wrong city, sometimes they don't get given a chance by the club. There are some extreme examples like Josh Kennedy and Miles, some good like Grigg, Robinson and Maric, and some normal successes like Petterd. Lamb looks ordinary, like not solid role player ordinary but just straight ordinary, but after the successes of recent years I don't mind if we pick him up in a poor draft year because every time there's a name thrown up out of left field we all go 'pfft' and then more often than not they were a good pick up.
