The high ground is city link. Would transurban be OK with that? Also cafes basically = farms yeah

Not new, just starting this year:

The new deal will see Channel Seven, Foxtel and Telstra continue as the League's broadcasters under the new deal, which will run from 2017 to 2022.

So pay $80 a month for Foxtel with sports HD, watch at a max screen size of 7" or find some other way to stream the games to enjoy your footy until 2023 at the earliest. :bravo:

Hopefully by then google is streaming other sports and buys the broadcast rights for the afl.

Maybe by then most homes will be connected with cable nbn (haha yeah right) so people can at least stream it in 720p.

WatchAFL worked fine for me last night, probably five instances of pausing due to buffer the whole match, and my internet usually can't get through a round of titanfall without making GBS threads itself entirely.

Hopefully I continue to be one of the lucky ones I guess

I'M CONCERNED ABOUT A NUMBER OF THINGS
Pity about the streaming making it hard to watch the game. From what I did see it looks like Fantasia has picked up where he left off last year and it was good to see the returning players make it through without any injuries and looking in reasonable touch.

I thought Langford might have done a bit more given the way his preseason has been talked about.

Not exactly the most reliable sources but it's still interesting:

https://www.zerohanger.com/ricky-nixon-explains-rorted-salary-cap-9852/ posted:

Ricky Nixon explains how he rorted salary cap

Former AFL player agent Ricky Nixon outlined how he manoeuvred around the salary cap in two extraordinary Facebook posts.

Given his chequered history, everything Nixon says must be taken with a grain of salt. But if what he has written is true then they are some explosive claims.

Nixon’s first post outlined a deal he put together for Wayne Carey before the 2000 season. North Melbourne had just won a premiership and Nixon was aiming to get Carey a deal worth $1 million.
According to Nixon, in 2000 the AFL club salary cap was $2.5 million, so Carey’s salary would have taken up 40% of North’s cap.

North wanted to keep the premiership side together, so Nixon came up with a creative way to get his client the money.

“I created a company owned by Wayne Carey called Carey Promotions Pty Ltd. Wayne contractually sold his Intellectual Property (his identity, likeness etc) to the company for $2,” Nixon said.

“The company then licensed Wayne Carey’s IP to Flying Start (my company) for exclusive exploitation. I then licensed Wayne’s IP to North for $400,000 non exclusively.”

Nixon said after the deal he was called into the office of former AFL CEO Wayne Jackson and warned about his dealings. But that didn’t stop him.

He was also representing Essendon duo James Hird and Matthew Lloyd in the same year. Nixon explains that after the Carey deal was made, the AFL had cracked down on third party deals.

The timeline gets a little messy, but Nixon states that Essendon needed $500,000 salary cap relief to keep Hird and Lloyd at the club for the 2000 season.

Nixon came up with another way to get his clients the money.

“I registered the domain names https://www.jameshird.com.au and https://www.matthewlloyd.com.au sold the domain names to Essendon for $250,000 each …. Salary Cap problem gone,” he said.

“Instead of 3%, the usual fee, I classed it as marketing deal and took 20%.

“The boys didn’t care they were $200K richer and i upgraded from the SAAB to a BMW and whacked a deposit on the holiday house at Pt Lonsdale.”

Essendon went on to win the premiership later that year.

They breached the salary cap from 1991-1996 which makes 1993 the only year a premiership side has breached the salary cap. It is also partially why Carlton got royally hosed in 2002, the AFL wanted to stop teams doing it, as more than half the teams had been breaching the salary cap in the late 90s.
