Making matters worse when Pagan tried to fix the broken mess at Princes Park, he found many veteran players had “taken the club hostage”.
“Some of them were on huge money – $450,000 and $500,000 and they were playing 85 per cent of the games in reserves,” he said.
“There were so many blokes doing their own thing. They didn’t do weights … they turned up when they wanted to.
And that is enough of a reason to keep the "old boys" out of the club and away from the players.
Times have changed and it has taken us the better part of 20 years to catch up.
... and lets make sure this dark past in our history never happens again. Can we be sure about that today?
... and those senior players Pagan refers to disgust me too... whoever they are
.. and the stuck up Wayne Jackson, the vindictive and corrupted Andrew Demetriou and that thorn in the Carlton side,the ultra corrupt Graeme Samuels, we will never forget or forgive you.
... as for the crook Ronnie (not Biggs, but worse) Evans, you sneaky backstabbing corrupted Commissioner, never ever forgive let alone move the pointing bones to you and your clan.
Yes folks, the abovementioned, along with a few other Commissioners and other of their affiliaates with their strange "handshakes" infiltrated the AFL and have corrupted the code to create this mess we have today where no one knows what they are up to, let alone understand the rules of the game, the tribunal... everything they have touched has turned to shit. Their predecessors put together the AFL Commission to work for the clubs. and build the game.
Of course the AFL as a business was going to grow with all the hard work done before these clowns corrupted us, but how could they fail with all of us rusted on supporters of our clubs, like Drug addicts, always committed to funding the new "Dealers" of our Code.
In fact, I have more faith and respect in Drug Lords of South America than the AFL Commission because at least the drug lords show their cards and don't hide the fact they are criminals. The AFL Commission, on the other hand are worse than Trump with their constant cry of "Fake News", that "there's nothing wrong with the AFL", and "its never been better ".... what about our game flower?
Stop thinking about the bottom line because money it seems right now can't fix what is badly broken....I'm talking the game, not the business.
No one knows the rules of the game anymore. The game looks like rugby in the middle and rugby trying t fnd touch, and punches in the guts are condoned and the name players are let off when the no names players on a pittance compared to the stars are expected to play the guinea pig and the fall guy.
Disgusting corrupted AFL Commission ... I shouldn't have read that article ... I'm going to the beach for a cleansing.
