2013 Magarey Medal

[Dols]

I thought suckling mid year, but could not find any markets. At $6 he is too short in a side that a lot of players will pole well. Thinking now that centrals may have back to back medal winners.

[Jim05]

Any truth Olsen and his cronies have put an stop to players wives/partners attending this years count in a cost cutting measure?
Deadset disgrace if true.

[SDK]

The players can not attend either just members of the commission who will eat and drink and tell us the day after who won.
All money saved will go to John Olsen as expenses as he has not been able to rip money off the tax payers for a few years now ..... apart from his Super !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Willo]

Heard past Winners not allowed to bring partners. Rumour the likes of Ebert and Robran are not going in protest, fair enough. Will be the death knell of this award if they dont keep the tradition. Times must be tough, pinning all their hopes on Adelaide Oval!!

What was the last year it was televised ?

When was the last year it was web streamed ? .... 2012
because it won't be this year!

Could the SANFL stuff up this year anymore for its fans?

> Promised suburban grounds for finals, then changed their mind
> Totally stuffed the AFL reserves debacle
> Bent over to the AFL teams after saying they wouldn't
> Refuse to cover the Magarey Medal in any meaningful form

You would almost think there is someone in there deliberately wrecking the competition in preparation for the lack of interest in 2014.

No truth in the rumours they were in charge of the City to Bay timing devices either?

And I paid $5 for some cold disgusting, inedible chips on Sunday (is that whickers catering)?
Agreed they couldn't do any worse. Couldn't have negotiated a worse deal.

I think the decisions are perfectly logical if you consider this premise:

> Promised suburban grounds for finals, then changed their mind - but they keep all the takings from food and drink sales at Footy park which helps pay off their debt.
> Totally stuffed the AFL reserves debacle - but it makes the AFL licences potentially more valuable as the two clubs can control their player development better which means the SANFL makes more money when the licences are sold which they can use to pay off their debt.
> Bent over to the AFL teams after saying they wouldn't - appeasing the SA AFL clubs potentially makes them more valuable when the licences are sold which can be used to pay off their debt.
> Refuse to cover the Magarey Medal in any meaningful form - not expending money on a web telecast which in turn could be used to pay off their debt.

Not that I'm cynical mind you....

[Dutchy]

And when they sell the licences they will have a big fat wallet with no fans!

[SDK]

I think as members of clubs thus indirectly members of the SANFL we should consider a class action.

[RustyCage]

Will there be any coverage at all of this significant event? I know there's no tv or webcast, I'm guessing twitter is the only way to see what's happening? Knowing the SANFL it will probably just be half hourly updates or something,

[topsywaldron]

As someone asked to do a job for an organisation more hated than Robert Mugabe's Government Zac Milbank doesn't do a bad job. Hopefully he'll tweet more regularly than every half hour.

Cue a Chemical Ali meme with Leigh Whicker saying 'I think the AFL Support teams will enhance the SANFL'.

The Magarey Medal ain't what it used to be.
Should be renamed the award for the most conspicuous and less ordinary
RIP every thing it seems relating to the SANFL under this so called Commission lead by that great leader John Olsen

O'Hara to win!
