Talking Footy

Two leading AFL club chief executives have knocked back approaches from the NRL to join a shortlist of candidates for the job vacated by former rugby league boss Dave Smith.
Highly-regarded Geelong Cats boss Brian Cook and Richmond Tigers CEO Brendon Gale received separate approaches before Christmas from recruitment agency Crown & Marks, which is acting on behalf of the NRL.
Both Cook and Gale, widely considered the top two CEOs at AFL club level, had a number of conversations with the recruitment agency, but declined the NRL's invitation to a formal interview for the job.

Approached by a recruitment agency .

Bahahaha

The fumblers always having a shot & missing .
One unco point for dumbo .

Or should it be a metho bender point

Don't know why they would want people that love AFL.
Pretty stupid on the NRLs part.

Not sure why they don't just get Todd Greenberg. He seems very capable.

If not Todd, someone that has financial and marketing experience in the NFL would be ideal. The two sports have alot of similarities.

You watch NFL and so much is put into the entertainment, promotion and spectacle of the game. You can see the NRL look to NFL as the benchmark to what they want to do as a sporting identity. NOT AFL.

Yep, fireworks and dancing girls for crowds of 6k, looks more like desperation to make the sport look entertaining because as we know the game it's self just doesn't cut the mustard.

AFL can get crowds of 80k+ without any Americanised crap.

State of Origin got 91,000 in Melbourne. A crowd AFL has never ever gotten even close to in NSW or QLD.

AFL having an international cup that has zero credibility and no tv coverage is what you call desperate

AFL buying Izzy for the Giants to get Islanders in AFL is what you call desperate. (FAILED MASSIVELY).

I just see the NFL as a much better run organization than the AFL.
AFL is pretty much just an embarrassment.
