Now Telstra has also been found to be misleading by the ACCC - another AFL corporate partner and provider of the official AFL site!

The mind boggles how shifty AFL corporate partners are.

What's that email address for Patty?

He needs to chase this up pronto, so that we can all sleep tonight.

Did anyone else hear the caller this morning who brought up the AFL Catering Contract which rips off the Australian public?

He asked KB and Smith.....why isn't that business bringing the game into disrepute by charging outrageous prices for food and drink to captive audiences?

No comment from either of them.....KB thanked him for the call and went to a break.............

And you expected what to happen exactly? For Fatprick to have to answer for his bum-chum Ron Evans' crimes?

It's all bullshit! The AFL can't get rid of him. If they do - we'll just call an EGM and vote Sir Richard back on!

I'll collect the 100 signatures myself if I have to.

And what will the AFL do then? What will Fatprick do then?

I couldn't imagine him just eating a ham sandwich in bed.

Its so obvious Patrick has a hidden agenda in regards to this Pratt issue. Does he truly believe what he writes or is he trying to bask in all the glory incase the AFL do decide to take action against our beloved president, then be seen as the guy who dethroned the card board king.

Its Fatprick trying to gain his 15 minutes of fame. What a cheap way to do so

If you ask me Patrick Smith is a dill. He lives in the shadow of respected Journos like Caro, Sheehan and Walls.

Why doesn't Patrick question the the AFL in regards to its dealings with spotless catering and how the average footy goer gets absolutely ripped off with the absurd prices when one purchases a bottle of water for $5.

Like i said Patrick has a hidden agenda here and some one needs to ring up and ask him this. He could not give a stuff about Pratt ripping off Australians, he cares for only himself and i think is a self centered pig trying to get his name up in lights.

just on sen, KB mentioned that last night at the kangaroos thing the crowd got a chant of 'Patrick's a Wanker' going and then they had to get security to guard him.

Has anyone bought food at any other live events?

Food prices are the same wherever you go, its not something unique to AFL.

that's spot on.

take a sandwich and a thermos instead. thats what everyone used to do

Nice. So even they hate Fatprick more than the AFL, which is trying to uproot them.

But in the context of price fixing and rorting, it's relevant to this argument that the AFL as endorsed and owned by Ron Evans, are ripping off the AFL public.

2 Points:

1: Firstly one of the largest catering companies "Spotless" was directly controlled and partly owned by Ron Evans - an AFL Chief Commissioner - same Commission that fixtures AFL games at venues where this company has contracts to cater - CONFLICT OF INTEREST.

I would draw your attention in particular to Spotless Catering buying the catering company that had the catering rights to Subiaco Oval (Mustard Catering) before it was known that the AFL were going to fixture all AFL games in Perth to Subiaco rather than splitting them between the WACA and Subiaco - CLEARLY INSIDER TRADING ON RON EVANS PART.


2. Spotless engage in manifest obvious price fixing and gouging and ripping off the AFL public - very reputable behaviour on Ron Evans' part.

Hope his casket is lined with old pie wrappers.

OK.......did anyone hear the stuffwit who rang in this morning to say that he has been ringing the AFL consistently and asking them when they are going to do something about Richard Pratt....and why they haven't yet?

All Smith said was that "Pratt is a major embarrassment to the AFL"....
