If Season Cancelled - refund or no refund?

No he is not. Just comes up with stupid ideas to keep his job. And of course there is Scott waiting in the wings as well.
AFL just got a line of credit to survive
Would of thought player safety would have been the first priority, not TV rights .
Rather no footy
Season is a mess
Playing footy with no crowds isn’t the answer
No gate receipts
Might as well call it off .
And what about the family’s of players .
Players away for weeks
It’s not going to happen

Has the AFL spend all the money it made last year? Is this year by year business? Bloody weird, a dollar in your pocket Gill is your best friend.
exactly.
A business thinking it never ever be in this situation.
Can't believe the *smile* weak media tip toeing around him.
Like he is a god.
The AFL should've had enough money to last it 50 years.
But over staffed, bullshitt ideas like AFLX, International academy's and propping up useless clubs like North and stikikda.
They make a 8 million buck's out of a GF.
They make over 50 million over the finals.
They make more then 300 million in the home and away
They make 350.million from Tv.
They make over 200 milion in sponsorship.
How could they be broke??
Shocking administration.
They will ruin the game to fill up the till again.
Shorter qtrs.
12 games a week.
15 game season.
17 teams make finals.
We will be forced to play Collingwood 10 times in a row to drive up the cash replenishment.
After this McClaglan needs to resign
He has brought the game into disrepute.
Marginally. The first game didn't feel right. Nothing about it felt right.
Actually beating Carlton felt right.
'Football clubs are like families' - Brendon Gale
Brendon Gale speaks to Fox Footy about the future of all AFL clubs.
football is an entertainment product that is modelled on crowd participation. I really wanted them to try and get the season underway and doneMarginally. The first game didn't feel right. Nothing about it felt right.
Actually beating Carlton felt right.
Changed my mind after round 1
TV product that I watched didn’t feel right . Game was perceived as being flat
The game without a crowd.
Isn't football.
The AFL is scrambling all efforts to start this Mickey Mouse Model of AFL to get money back, thats the only reason.
Look at the premier league/serie A, they will start when the virus has gone.
Buckley yesterday "Shorter qtrs suit our style"
exactly a club like Collingwood would love 5 minute qtrs , 6-6-6, 8 on the bench, its there only chance of winning a flag. Opps i forgot to mention a chance to win a flag that isn't in September.
Collingwood haven't won a flag in September since Jesus was playing CHB for us in 806bc
I'm very strong on this. If the fans can't go to the game then there should be no footy. that should be the threshold for re-starting, even if that means limited capacity (ie. 1 person for every 3 or 4 seats). I'm sure clubs can work out some type of ballot system for members if need be.

Don’t know how they can play games without gaining gate receipts . Unless the AFL has some trees where they grow money 
. You might find the banks won’t be allowing this as they will have control on AFL expenditure. Might further add the only reason they got a line of credit and it took 2 banks to facilitate this was through the enormous cash component ( gate receipts , merchandise licenses etc ) that the AFL can generate . Any expenditure without sufficient return will be knocked on the head . Plus they are in the process of losing huge sponsors . TV rights currently is discussion as well .

Have to agree. I sure haven't been in any hurry to watch a replay.
It felt like a practice game.
Jack said on 360 that's why we fell away in the second half as they had none of the usual energy to feed off at our home game.
No crowd didn't feel right for the players either.
Agree Oldie, but this is our time. Want season to go ahead while we have the likes of Cotchin, Edwards, Grimes, Houli, Martin, Lynch, Prestia, Riewoldt, Valistuin, and possibly even Rance.
Next year they are a year older and it looks like all teams may reduce lists to 35.
Allowing for the fact that we will have also to make room for the draft, here is not much chance that this group of 10, will ever again have the opportunity to run out together again.

good point. they won't be able to go back to paying players 100% salary until revenues flow through. they might have to keep accepting the 50% (or more) pay cut if they return to playing with no crowds.
