Talking Footy

couldn't get outta there quick enough

in a year the Victorian game would sooner forget
with racism
match fixing
salary cap scandals
a lop sided hopeless comp
the comp at its lowest quality in living memory
expansion an utter failure
clubs going bankrupt
drug scandals


this guy said ..... see ya ...I'm outta here
this joint is doomed


VFL... falling apart

A MAKEOVER of the AFL's top ranks gathered pace yesterday with the sudden resignation of football operations manager Adrian Anderson.

ANDREW Demetriou was not shocked when Adrian Anderson walked into his spacious office at AFL House at 3pm on Tuesday and told him he was leaving.. .
Top executive subs himself off

WHEN a young lawyer nine years ago became the head of the AFL's football operations department, he was warned it could be "a very unpopular role".. .
No talks between Anderson, Roos

NORTH Melbourne had not spoken to Adrian Anderson about taking its CEO role before he quit the AFL...End of sidebar. Return to start of sidebar.
Anderson, 40, handed his resignation to league boss Andrew Demetriou after nine years in the job.

He is the third member of the nine-person AFL executive to leave in recent weeks, following strategy and marketing boss Andrew Catterall and human resources chief Christina Ogg.

Football administration manager Rod Austin also has moved on in a sign Demetriou and the AFL Commission are looking to revamp the game's managerial body.

The changes could see the role of football operations manager diminished.

It had been a difficult off-season for Anderson after a recommendation by the Laws of the Game committee, which he chairs, to cap interchange rotations at 80 a game was rebuffed by the commission.

It also emerged yesterday Anderson had failed in a bid to have the commission hearing into the Kurt Tippett/Adelaide salary cap scandal in public.

But the former lawyer said those losses had played no part in his decision to quit.


More:Nine years of controversy
Demetriou vehemently denied there was any friction between the pair.

"It's nine years of doing this role and I think it's time for a new challenge," Anderson said.

"I wanted to make that decision at a time that gave Andrew and the guys the opportunity to put someone in place for next season.

"I'll stick around long enough to ensure those arrangements are being looked after."

Those tasks include completing the tanking investigation into Melbourne's 2009 season and a revamp of the contentious illicit drugs policy.

Asked who would fill Anderson's job, Demetriou said: "I'll sit down with our executive team and the commission and discuss our options but, to be honest, ... I haven't given it much thought."

Richmond chief executive Brendon Gale has ruled himself out as a candidate.

"I'm fully committed to delivering success at the Richmond Football Club," Gale said last night.

Anderson played key roles in the overhaul of the tribunal system, the introduction of the illicit drugs policy and free agency, and two pay deals with players.

The Australian Rugby Union was looking for a chief executive, but Anderson said he had not investigated potential new jobs.

"Often people have something organised before they move on, but I haven't felt that's appropriate," he said.

North Melbourne confirmed it had no plan to speak to Anderson about its vacant chief executive role.





There was tension between the AFL and the Kangaroos concerning the league's investigation into forward Lachie Hansen's concussion.

how desperate are you?

The guy decided he needed a career change. The AFL are going from strength to strength and 1 person in a massive organisation will make no difference!

Nice one Dave. It proves how threatened you really feel.

The funniest thing is that AA's departure is great for the code and the majority of fans are rejoicing in him leaving.

Why did Gallop leave Raiderdave? Scared of being hunted down from those "terrorists" down south? Although by leaving a stagnant sport in rl to a growing sport in soccer, he's already doing better than he was at the nRL.

Broncos

Loss

So 6% of teams make a profit compared to the AFLs 68%

Your looking at the wrong figure dopey....

Half the AFL teams annual reports are not out yet, how did you come up with this bogus figure.????

Total Profit/Loss:

Essendon – $12,345,536 Government handouts...Essendon – $401,429
Collingwood – $7,835,000*
Richmond – $3,017,742
Hawthorn – $1,288,810
Melbourne – $19,485
Western Bulldogs – (136,679)
St Kilda – ($436,818)
Carlton – ($639,799)
Geelong – ($996,000)
Brisbane – ($2,200,013)
Port Adelaide – ($2,117,071)*

So out of the 11 clubs that have shown there annual reports 6 made losses.........Are you telling porkies again?.........

4 so far have made operational losses, with 7 making profits.

all of those VFL sides that made profits included their gaming operations
about 3 made them from their football operation alone
& when our clubs include their other bussiness monies as well

its 14 NRL clubs making profits
in 2013 it will be 16 clubs making profits in their football operation as well

NRL ... Killing it
