Rumour Andrew Demetriou to Tennis Australia

[MightyHawks]

Andrew Demetriou handed in his resignation to the AFL about 3 months ago and will take up a position running Tennis Australia next year

It's noticeable for all the BS rumour mongering Mike Sheahan and Caro do on a weekly basis that they aren't wanting to run this one

 

[HappyChappy35]

Please be true.

 

[MightyHawks]

I'd prefer he took an overseas posting, but yes he's getting out before the ASADA infraction notices cause the "alleged" Demetriou tip off to Essendon to become an issue again

 

[CaptainChardonnay]

Good luck to him. Hope he can turn around Tennis in Australia. It's in a worse state than the AFL was when he took over.

You might not like him, but he has been outstanding in his role.

game, set and match

Tennis in Australia is shit because all the Aussie tennis players are shit. Even if the guy rapidly transformed its youth popularity, it'd take 20 years to see. Meh. I hope the prick leaves the AFL and does averagely at wherever he goes – because what the did with the AFL wasn't a masterstroke. It was mostly common sense.

But he certainly leaves the game in much better shape than he found it.

The money is better, but is the actual game? The umpires are a disgrace, the video review system is a joke, and we cant go 12 months without drastically altering the rules.

 

[MightyHawks]

I'm sure he'll be good at:
increasing the price of going to the tennis
making it harder for the average fan to get to the finals
increasing the PR spin

Hang the garlic and lock the door when he leaves.

I'm not a fan of rule changes but what "drastic" changed have been made?

Rubbish. I pay my membership and have guaranteed access to finals tickets and think my membership is excellent value.

Please be true.

Do you like tennis do you? Demetriou is probably the best sports administrator in the country, we want him to stay at the AFL for the good of the game.

He doesn't have much competition in that department.

The game will be better off with out him unless Kevin Bartlett takes his job!

i think someone (him) is upset coz he couldnt get finals tickets, he may need a hug?

Sub. Interchange cap. Sliding rule. Bump eliminated.

coz one man decides these things? Ah-ha

 

[freo1]

If this is true it'd almost equal my potential joy of freo winning the GF

 

[BallaratBulldog]

Who would in the running to replace him?

Andrew isn't there yet mate... it'll change

Any real supporter gets to the Grand Final

Haven't missed a Grand Final myself since the 80s, think I'll be there

Interchange cap hasn't happened yet. Players not getting season ending injuries thanks to players sliding in and players not concussing an opponent by charging in wildly and smashing their opponents head in are bad for the game how?

Haha, doubt it. Tennis Australia is where careers go to die.
