I think I read somewhere Robbie Fox is doing an MBA.

Inaugural GM for Robbie being a Tasweigian?
 
I'm just reposting my comment about this Laura Kane interview that I posted in a different thread because caesar88 pointed out that this is where it properly belongs.

I was just watching the interview with Laura Kane on afl.com.au. I'm struggling to link it but it's the latest edition of Footy Feed - a one on one interview by Sarah Olle of Kane. I have to say Kane presents very well. However she made my blood boil by not giving straight answers to straight questions. They are discussing the incident where Stocker dives for the ball, knocks it on and then Dangerfield crashes into him kneeing him in the back and a free is paid against Stocker for contact below the knees. Kane says we are "comfortable with where that decision landed" (an expression she uses a few times). Olle tries to clarify - what is the significance of Stocker getting first hands on the ball and Kane totally waffles her way past it. Despite her making a good impression on me until that point I was just baffled and infuriated.

Something similar happened later on when Olle asked Kane directly about whether next year if there's an opening round would the teams that play in the opening round be fixtured against each other in Round 1 to smooth out any unfairness. And again, Kane just totally ducks the question but without acknowledging that she's doing so. I could understand if she said something like "well, we'll have to decided that down the track, we haven't even decided if Opening Round will be repeated yet" - but to pretend she's answering the question but not do it smacks of the worst traits of politicians. Ugh!
I haven't seen it but from your description it sounds like she uses a lot of weasel words. Politics was the word that came to mind as I was reading your post.
