Parra, the VFL/AFL has a long standing relationship with News Corp (as it is now) going back decades. The Sun in particular was always supportive under the tiller of Herald and Weekly Times Limited, who until 1987 was owned by the estate of Sir Keith Murdoch - Rupert's Dad. Rupert in effect had a share in it but didn't formally own it until 1987.
So don't think for one second that New Corp has any control over the AFL. They don't own any clubs and can't, and have no seats on the AFL Board of Directors - and never will. Big difference.

You got any big cases coming up.
