Administrator Ron Joseph says clubs must unite and hold AFL to account over Gold Coast Suns

The Gold Coast Suns are looking at fresh concessions after another horror season. A legendary administrator wants heads to roll at AFL House and says rival clubs must lead the charge.

Legendary administrator Ron Joseph has savaged the AFL’s near-certain awarding of a priority pick to the flailing Gold Coast Suns.
A day after the $200 million expansion club pitched a plan for fresh emergency concessions, Joseph called on rival clubs to unite and block the gifting of draft picks one and two.

“The resuscitation of the Suns will go on for another 20 years until the AFL wakes up and realises that the Gold Coast is a beach resort — not a fanatical football town,” Joseph told the Herald Sun.


“How much more is it going to cost to make the Suns successful? And at what cost to the 17 other clubs?

“The Gold Coast experiment has been a disaster and it’s time for the clubs to hold the AFL to account.”

But Joseph, an AFL life member who served as a club boss at North Melbourne and the Swans for more than 40 years, said rival clubs were “too financially beholden” on the league to oppose a raft of draft and salary cap concessions being considered for the Suns.

“The AFL established this club and now they are prostituting their own rules to prop it up,” he said.


“And they can get away with it because the clubs are too frightened to speak up.

“Don’t the AFL realise that every club wants to win the premiership?

“Awarding priority picks comes at the expense of every other club busting its gut to be successful for its own loyal memberships.

“The only person that will stand up and argue these issues today is (Hawthorn president) Jeff Kennett.

“Eddie McGuire will stand up for the first five minutes, but then he’ll have lunch with the AFL.”

Joseph called for the sacking of the current AFL commission and the appointment of experienced footy figures such as Brian Cook, Leigh Matthews, Kennett and Richard Colless.

“There’s four people to start with that you’d like to see running the affairs of the AFL and sorting the mess out,” Joseph said.


“Get rid of the commission and get some ... football smarts back in there.”

AFL chief executive Gillon McLachlan and league broadcasting boss Travis Auld also played major roles in the creation of the Suns.

“The mistakes that are being continually made at the AFL are a disgrace,” Joseph said.

Joseph, 74, was on the North Melbourne board when the AFL attempted to push the Kangaroos to the Gold Coast 12 years ago.

“We had plenty of North Melbourne champions who wanted to go to the Gold Coast, don’t worry,” Joseph said.

“They saw the green in the AFL’s eyes when (Andrew) Demetriou was pushing $200 million at us to get up there.

“Now some of those same people are pointing the club in the direction of Tasmania.”

Could you imagine what the AFL could have done with the $200m (and the rest).......Tassie Club, Junior Footy etc etc.....the opportunity cost!

News - Eddie Betts outta here - every day I get in the queue to get on the bus that takes me to you (too much, Magic Bus)

Big announcement he just dropped on Five AA complete with ‘it saddens me to say’ Sad day

[shintemaster]

According to the D&T thread on Papley somebody reckons there was no request for trade on his behalf at his exit interview. This one may be over before it had begun.

And Beams was adamant he'd be at Brisbane the same time last year as well. I'm not sure any of it means anything much at this time of year.

Have we got any trialists training with us?

Arden St is not really set up for the necessary ‘closed door friendly’.

Look, true.

Any underground poker games anybody knows about we could get Paps a VIP entry into?

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Sign Eddie now. We should’ve had him 5 years ago

 

[Harris 10]

Sign Eddie now. We should’ve had him 5 years ago

Crows offer was $40k more a year....hahaha

 

[Rooboy 96]

Sign Eddie now. We should’ve had him 5 years ago

Bloody Oath, but he wasn't worth $700k apparently.

 

[The Dingrel]

He was contracted in 2017 as a 21 year old with 40 games under his belt.

You think they're paying Papley $700K based on a 15.5 disposal, 1.5 goals and 4 tackles season in

I reckon $450-500K is more realistic.

Agree and have heard 500ish mentioned

 

[Heaps of fun]

Eddie is done.

 

[Billy Not Really]

Eddie is done.

Hasn't been one bit impressive since before the 2017 GF.

He shouldn't cost a thing should any club pick him up. He's good for moments and that's it.

 

[The Dingrel]

West Coast have been into him ages.

Well their list manager is now with us.

 

[Thewlis Dish]

Betts kicked a third of his goals this year against Gold Coast.

Papley clause makes it hard for Victorian suitors -

Papley clause makes it hard for Victorian suitors

Sydney's Tom Papley is actually contracted for another four seasons, meaning his move back to Victoria has been put on hold.

www.theage.com.au

Sydney are preparing to dig their heels in for the upcoming trade period, telling rival clubs gun small forward Tom Papley is not available.
Papley, from Bunyip in Victoria, reached a trigger in his contract this year which means he is actually contracted until 2023.

Both Sydney and Papley's management, Phoenix Management, have confirmed the change in his contractual circumstances.
The Swans extended his contract until the end of 2020 last year and provided him with a trigger clause, which would increase the deal until the end of 2023.

The change will make it more difficult for interested Victorian clubs such as Carlton to pry him out of Sydney.

Papley's personal circumstances are driving his desire to return to Victoria, but he is happy at the Swans and did not request a trade during his exit interview at the club on Tuesday.

Since being picked up by the Swans as a rookie, Papley has enjoyed an impressive four seasons at AFL level, booting 120 goals in his 82 games, including 37 this year.

Having just turned 23, he is a tantalising prospect for clubs on the lookout for a small forward.

Carlton, who were left disappointed by the news that midfield ace Stephen Coniglio had recommitted to Greater Western Sydney, will turn their attention to trying to secure Papley and Gold Coast's Jack Martin, who earlier this week told the Suns of his intention to leave.

The Blues are willing to part with their first-round pick this year for Papley, with club insiders believing he is the missing piece to a tall forward line boasting Charlie Curnow, Harry McKay and Mitch McGovern.

Essendon are also keen on Martin, after coming close to attaining his services during last year's trade period before bailing on the deal to sign Dylan Shiel from the Giants.

The Bombers are likely to be another club which engages with Sydney, with injured All-Australian full-forward Joe Daniher still a potential Swans target.
It will be a significant off-season for the Swans, with Zak Jones also considering his options, with contract offers from Essendon and St Kilda.

Sydney have already farewelled retiring veterans Jarrad McVeigh, Kieren Jack, Nick Smith and Heath Grundy, which will help to open up room in their total player payments.
