PPie, the most cunning thing the AFL did was to bring the loudmouth troublemaker presidents on to their side, appointing them on their AFL "War Cabinet".  |
Good point K . Also, perhaps desperate measures for desperate times, as well as a politically savvy move. |
The cunning plan is not working! 
Why there are doubts over an 18-team AFL competition
https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/why-there-are-doubts-over-an-18-team-afl-competition-20200529-p54xoi.html
"AFL chairman Richard Goyder's insistence in March that the competition would emerge from the COVID-19 emergency with 18 clubs intact - a stand reinforced by Gillon McLachlan on Friday - remains open to serious scrutiny.
The Bulldogs' Peter Gordon earlier this week joined Hawthorn's Jeff Kennett as the second corona cabinet club president to cast doubt on the survival of every club and even cautioned that the weaker teams needed to be more accountable.
...
McLachlan is a populist and Goyder even more so. You would expect them to resist at any cost becoming the boss who saw a club die or merge on their watch. They have prioritised the survival of clubs over industry jobs.
But given that two powerful club presidents emerging from the inner sanctum are prepared to publicly entertain the prospect, it underlines the mutterings across the competition that are becoming louder." |
