what are these sweetners?
The AFL did not want this going to a grievence hearing and offered up a couple of incentives to get a deal done.
Think you may find the fixture and times is fairly kind to us next season plus a long term arrangement for ANZAC day will be approved. Also talk that some of our fines may "disappear" although not sure if that went through in the end
Would have thought that's tampering with the competition's integrity...
I'll come back after the next 120 pages....
Sad part is, I reckon you wouldn't put it past the AFL to have done a deal like that.
