The Footy Show: more like end game? Glenn Dyer writes: It's a pity communications have been broken between Eddie McGuire and David Gyngell because the Nine Network boss desperately needs some help in righting the wrongs at The AFL Footy Show. On last night's performance, the AFL program is in diabol...

From Today's Crikey Charles Happell writes: It’s not so easy after all, is it boys? This AFL coaching caper might not be the soda you’d suggested in your presentations to those various club sub-committees who ended up offering you jobs. You can wear the nattiest suit, put together the slickest p...

Not so crazy - Neil Roberts started his career at full forward but to quote Neil (page 226 Heroes With Halos) "I was kicking 1.11 and that sort of thing". He switched to centre half back and won the 1958 Brownlow.

What has Demetriou done to deserve the dough? Charles Happell writes: In 2005, AFL chief executive Andrew Demetriou was paid $780,000 to do his job; last year, his salary rose to $1.4 million. The AFL’s remuneration committee deemed that Demetriou’s performance had been so good over those two ye...
