Roast Gold Coast Suns potentially rorting the soft cap!

[Purple Suit]

Are rorts being done in alphabetical order? If so, I am happy all this stuff should be sorted out by the time they get to my mob.

Yep,
It started with Adelaide when they lost their assistant coach for Melbourne's tanking.

I have no idea what this role entails. I kind of understand commercial strategy although I would have no idea what she would do each day (I could say that about any number of corporate jobs).

But consumer strategy? Is that referring to members or the match day punter? Does that mean she is responsible for picking the music after a song or what kind oof condiments go on the hot dog.

It's all about fan engagement and retention. She probably goes around to each fans house through out the week to chat and compile a play list & condiment preference. Not sure what she does on Thursday or Friday though.

Can't believe this thread was started by a Geelong supporter...

I wished it was started by a North supporter.

You can't accuse North Melbourne of breaching the salary cap lol

If guilty, have to strip them of their premierships.

Forbid them for picking from the cheat academy for 3 years

UnitedWarrior93 DBAH0 Tall poppy alive and well. Suns rorting the soft cap and nothing said about it on the Football Association board.

We need an investigation into chef RossFC leadership to find the bodies. Clearly they're eliminating those who speak out against other clubs.

I’m sure Dimma will do the right thing and get a new partner who is already employed by the club

Looks like this one turned out to be a storm in a tea cup. The AFL has given her employment at the Suns the tick of approval and the report found she's being paid "market rates". Seems like it was really just Damian Barrett's (poor) attempt to must up more outrage towards the northern clubs on the eve of Opening Round. I highly doubt he's going to acknowledge that the Suns had nothing to answer for and that it was a nothing story in the end. Such is the standard of professional journalism these days.

Australia is well known for nepotism so this doesn't surprise me.

She has experience in commercial operations for AFL clubs, and lives on the Gold Coast; whats wrong with working for the Suns?

GWS hired Scully's Dad who had experience in the industry and it ended up being included in the player salary cap.

But that was years ago. These days the AFL really doesnt care because they dont want to know.

A 5 year Footy Show contract which matched his 5 year Collingwood contract was just pure coincidence.

What was also a coincidence was that he was terrible on the show and barely said 10 words an episode.

Yep. $100k a year for 20 (garbled, confused) words a year x 5 years.

mods The_Wookie shouldn't this thread be locked or have its titled changed? The AFL already gave the green light for her employment and said the Suns had nothing to answer for (see below). Keeping this thread going in its current form just increases the chances of misinformation spreading.
