been an avid follower of mast sports for as long as I can remember. Grew up with RL, played it and Union and a bit of Aussie rules.
Always followed the League but now I am totally disillusioned _ sex, drugs, booze and now this! It's enough to make a grown man cry!!

This is always going to happen when big $$$ are involved irrespective of which "sport".
In many cases with "sport" at this level it appears that much of the popularity is manufactured by the media and the hype of the spin Drs. Have a good look at the stands - in many cases you could toss a hand grenade and nobody would get hurt yet the game occupies prime radio/TV time and countless boring, mundane, irritating, useless advert for most of the things we neither want not need but some guru thinks this is what we should have or do. The big sponsors couldn't give a toss about the game - all that is of interest to them is the $$$ they can generate.
These days, if you want to see real sport - go to the local, almost amateur fixtures - you'll be pleasantly surprised at the lack of prima donnas and how hard thes sportsmen and women play - yes play it is not a job.
Well, I guess I'll go back into the bunker and await the incoming as many regard this as a sacred cow which shouldn't be touched.

Why do they have to be under the counter payments? Is there anything to suggest the players knew what was going on? In my job I know how much I get paid ..... I have no idea about the other workers. If it is found that any players knew that they were getting paid above what they should then surely they should be banned.
Couldn't agree more. It is more enjoyable watching the VFL on the ABC on a Saturday afternoon than the AFL. Good honest contest without all of the hype of the AFL.Now proudly sponsored by Binford Tools. Be sure to check out the Binford 6100 - available now at any good tool retailer.
