Good article by Mark Robinon in the Hun this morning, pointing out the clear problems facing th AFL through sponsors "employing" footy players in dubious roles.
I say dubious, because by his own admission, Judd sometimes puts in no hours a week, but sometimes up to 4-5 hours. Wow. That's about $7500 per hour!
The AFL has rubber stamped this deal, so as they say in the classics, if you can't beat them, join them ...
I have it on very good authority that Luke Hodge is extremely pasionate about the health benefits of fruit juice. One of Hawthorn's board members is also the owner of Boost Juice. I see a very clear partnership here, for a million a year, Hodgey can wear a Boost Juice cap and give out discount vouchers at all footy clinics and school visits he does. He could also punch out a couple of ads and maybe just visit a few Boost Juice outlets just to keep the staff happy.
I hear that Joel Selwood apparently considers himself an expert in fruit, as he ate a lot of it when he was growing up. Frank Costa can put him on as an ambassador to promote the healthy eating fruit. "An Apple a Day, Keeps the Premiership Away" could become his catchcry and for a mill a year, he could ensure that at all public appearances, he always has a piece of fruit at hand. And as a special bonus, he could chomp into a banana every time he has a rest on the bench.
St Kilda has Jayco Caravans as a ball sponsor. A number of years ago they ran an advertising campaign that was along the lines of "get off the grass, your tent's got no class". Michael Gardiner - a match made in Heaven.
Most clubs have wealthy sponsors and supporters.
It's a bit harder for the Roos, but apparently their very own Poor Man's Eddie McGuire, James Brayshaw, has a mate who works at Werribee Sewerage Farm, who reckons he could get Daniel Pratt a gig running one of the mixers down there whenever he has some time off. Award rates apply. But you get what you pay for in this case.
See Carlton, you're not the only team which can rort the rules. You're just the only one that does.
