No one should want to see a club go to the wall to protect the interests of big clubs. The league learnt from the Fitzroy experience.
No they dont. The clubs have independent boards. The AFL controls board appointments for 5 clubs - Adelaide (until 2029), Port Adelaide, GWS, Gold Coast and Sydney.
Its not so much taking money from these clubs as it is they just werent allocated it. A deal the clubs agree to.
This has literally happened twice. To Carlton (salary cap) and Essendon (drugs).
Yes, WB1234, This is pure Communism.
It's not up to one Club to bolster up another Club.
The Clubs agreed to the deal with a gun to their head. Lol.
And by the way, The Commission controls all AFL policy decisions, and by stealth all Club decisions, the AFL competition and maintains a professional talent pathway for players through the
AFL Draft,
AFL Draft Combine,
AFL Academy and academies through its member clubs and affiliated bodies,
Underage Men's and
Underage Women's championships, the
Australian Football (AFL) the rules, the salary cap, the schedule, the operations of the clubs, It also approves the administration of the Clubs and can ask any Club at any time to please explain any action under threat of fine or expulsion from the league or the penalty of the loss of premiership points.
But enough about fumbleball and its Communist heritage.
Pete "the Man" V landys should be made President of Australia.
Pete is the exact opposite of the AFL Commission
He is a one-man band who helps out everyone and gives of his time, effort, energy to grow our great game n Australia and around the World.
Pete is very careful not to help one NRL Club at the hinderance of another.
He is the opposite of the AFL
And for that WE love him.
