He seems collected and in control. Worth the listen.Came here to post this
People who haven’t listened to it should take the 15 minutes and do so

As he said in the interview last week was really hard to defend we need to be better than that. I am hopeful we will get that because if we don't we could get 3 coach killers in a row which would make his position even more difficult. It's up to the players now.Yeah I think he looked really flat after the loss, understandably, so I get why there was talk about him being burned out. Especially with the Clarkson and Hardwick developments
But he came across really well and focused on what he’s trying to achieve
I was a bit flat as well, I would be worried if he wasnt.Yeah I think he looked really flat after the loss, understandably, so I get why there was talk about him being burned out. Especially with the Clarkson and Hardwick developments

Simple minds I guess.

I get that it’s Eddie Maguire but this is an interesting listen. Very critical of the soft cap being too low and also talks about how they suffered a spate of soft tissue injuries when they first moved to their new training base until it all got bedded down
Different POV and does sound like he’s talked to people over here to get a handle on what’s being done
Also worth pointing out that at the very end he states that he’d swap places with Collingwood and West Coast right now if it meant they got the 2018 flag. Something that as supporters we shouldn’t lose sight of - it’s only been 4-5 years since we saw our team win and now it’s our turn at the bottom
Biggest issue with the soft cap (IMO) is the eye watering taxes teams have to pay for going over it.
MLB has it almost bang on (again, IMO). AFL taxes are about 2-3 times higher from memory.
Apologies for lack of link's but the exact figures are Googleable.
Question - where do large infrastructure projects fall in regards to the soft cap? It's ~7M a year but Collingwood lexus centre upgrade about a decade ago was 36M... Not sure if they contributed all of it or if it was part funded by public money... Surely these projects count outside the soft cap otherwise how are clubs going to invest in this direction? Clubs will be training in some very drab looking facilities in the 2030's.

They call that negative growthPretty wild how slowly the cap is creeping up with runaway inflation. It further widens the gap between what we can spend now versus what we could spend in 2019.
Annoying thing about the soft cap is that it was reduced to manage costs during COVID... but reportedly, the AFL were also pissed at the amount of money being spent on coaches, which is why they've been so reluctant to lift it since. In other words, they've used COVID as an excuse to exercise an unrelated agenda.
I'm struggling to understand why the AFL would even care how much coaches get paid... other than... jealousy?
My understanding is the soft cap is only for the footy department - which is direct spend on the foot program. This includes Coaches, medical, equipment etc. I remember the WA clubs having to fight to make sure travel wasn't included.Biggest issue with the soft cap (IMO) is the eye watering taxes teams have to pay for going over it.
