Not sure if this is common knowledge, but some of the bigger, lucrative clubs have 'spin doctors' on social media ie: BF to help soften the blow of decisions made by clubs. A good example of this is a lot of the sh*t being perpetuated about Jayden Stephenson.

The Collingwood FC have spin agents working social media to quell dissent and promote agendas in the same way that the NMFC has their own agents working inside here.

I dunno why this surprises anyone.

Bigfooty, for all its negative aspects, is actually a place where club supporters gather in an uncensored environment, and folks are kidding themselves if they don't believe that the NMFC closely monitors this place..............whilst never acknowledging its existence.

Collingwood would be working overtime on what has now become 'crisis management' to avert a major bailout of members next year.
Eddie has been and done this many times through his media and club career. He had and may still have his own personal publicist/spin doctor. Former journo, and was very good at 'placing stories' and unsourced quotes in the Herald Sun and other media outlets. Is the same spin doctor that used to advise the Brumby/Bracks government. Same spin doctor now resides at Racing Victoria and on the Board of the TAC.

Spot on. There would not be one club that doesn't monitor all main social media, especially when there is a major story happening.
 
 
just watching a doco on Gary Ablett sr on foxtel. how much better was footy when midfielders linked up came streming through the centre and had leading forwards to kick at.

AFL stars to be hit by new pay deal solution as Essendon apologises for planning to withhold players’ salaries

Sun, 29 November 2020

Clubs have warned they face months of gruelling negotiations over a new pay deal as Essendon was forced to apologise to players over a botched attempt to withhold nine per cent of their salaries.
Collingwood is among the clubs which will be forced to ask stars to push part of their 2021 salaries into coming years only weeks after Adam Treloar’s back-ended deal resulted in catastrophe.
Essendon chief executive Xavier Campbell on Sunday admitted the Dons’ decision to withhold a portion of player salaries until the club worked on a solution to the pay deal was poorly communicated and wrong.

The league’s decision not to apply universal pay cuts to the nine per cent salary reduction for 2021 has been widely panned by player managers and clubs.
List managers were desperate for any pay cut to be applied across the board so all players would be in the same boat.
Instead some players will only accept a 3.5 per cent pay cut in total but 8.5 per cent next year, meaning clubs must back-end five per cent of those deals into 2022-23.
It will result in club salary caps shrinking significantly in 2022-23 compared to next season, meaning players out of contract next year will have to accept smaller deals.
The only hope for the AFL’s 18 clubs is that the salary cap will increase by 2022, giving them breathing room.
Many players will be reluctant to push their salaries back into later years given Treloar’s disastrous experience.
As one veteran list manager said on Sunday: “It’s a recipe for disaster. It’s a complete balls-up.”
Clubs exhausted by a season full of travel and making staff redundant will now spend the summer negotiating with every player on their list about their contracts and individual circumstances.
Collingwood is one of many clubs with a tight salary cap which will now be forced to go to some high-profile players and ask them to accept money towards the end of their contracts.
Western Bulldogs believe its side of the Treloar contract wrangle had them in a strong position as talks continue over how he is paid his $4.5 million, five-year salary.
The Dogs are adamant they were always clear about the exact portion they would pay of his $900,000 salary - believed to be $600,00 per season.
So the Pies and Treloar’s management will continue to talk about Collingwood paying the rest of the $300,000 per season he is owed until 2025.
As Essendon sorts out its salary cap picture, it had emailed players on Friday night and told them it was planning to withhold nine per cent of this month’s salary until it worked out a solution.
Furious players spoke to their managers and the AFLPA, with Campbell telling Nine Media on Sunday the decision was a mistake.
“We didn’t get the communication right and we own that. Our intention was to create a holding position for the next fortnight to allow us the time to meet properly with the playing group,“ Campbell said.
“I‘m disappointed that we didn’t consult properly with the players prior, and that is our fault. But we will do this over the next few days.”
Star players out of contract at the end of 2021, who will have a lesser pool of money as they seek to sign significant contracts, include Harry McKay, Patrick Cripps, Jeremy Howe, Jake Stringer, Clayton Oliver, Dion Prestia, Jack Billings and Marcus Bontempelli.
