Thanks Morgan - it's not a particularly clear article by the Duff, who's generally a bit tidier than that. Can you imagine the Hack trying to wade through it??
Whatever, football just has to accept that, as a tenant with no skin in the game it can't expect much in return. Faced, also, with a new state government trying to work through the catastrophe it's inherited, and seeing the AFL pouring cash into football infrastructure in Victoria and elsewhere, and you'd think they'd want to tread very carefully.
