Re: The SEN Thread 9
Always try to keep a foot planted in Melbourne...until we relocate back there in the future.
Cheers Steve.
Great to see you're still around the traps mate.
Go Roos!

Already it’s clear that Smith , as often, states the bleeding obvious but – having no actual sports business or marketing experience – simply doesn’t understand the financial and marketing trade-offs that apply to the Folau/Hunt on-field scenarios. Like most journalists that write and talk about what other people do, he sees everything as round and square pegs to fit into round and square holes. Or, if some people are deemed to make too much money, simply tax them and share the largesse to the always-aggrieved masses on the basis of fairness. “From each according to his ability, to each according to his need,” as someone once said. Smith seems to loathe the fact that Folau gets a million large when he can’t yet play at anywhere near the AFL level.

… Whoa, BT gets yet another whack from Putz for trying to be too clever instead of knowledgeable. … Putz still seems fixated on Folau getting a million dollars and not performing which segues to the inevitable pro sports marketing expert calling in who thinks it’s just a bad, bad move for the AFL to just get a rugby recruit (no correction from Putz) bring him into the AFL and turn him into a star and think they’re gonna get people through the gates just because they’ve got one bloke from rugby (still no correction) who was an up-and-coming star, when there are so many young kids that have learnt the game and Karmichael Hunt is not a good investment either. He says he wouldn’t do that. Plenty of players that have played in the SANFL and WAFL that you can invest in because they have bigger bodies (than Folau?) and you’d get far better investment out of those players. Oh boy. Not surprisingly this clueless twit says he totally agrees with Putz Smith.
