On afl player managers
Watched it last night.
What a bunch of arrogant , egotistical wankers. If I was one of the guys managed by these flogs I would be tearing up my contract and finding another that isn’t a media wanna be star.

On afl player managers
Watched it last night.
What a bunch of arrogant , egotistical wankers. If I was one of the guys managed by these flogs I would be tearing up my contract and finding another that isn’t a media wanna be star.
I was amazed during the trade period that with the Dunkley deal teetering on the edge of collapse and Brisbane and the Dogs a mile apart the blokey bloke Liam Pickering was off attending a country race meeting on the Saturday looking after one of his contractual side deals rather than working the phones on behalf of his highest profile player.
If I was a high profile player who was trying to get a trade done I'd be demanding that my manager be focused on that rather than their side hustles especially during the TRADE PERIOD.
There are some genuine AFL player managers who are in it for the long haul and have the players best interests at heart and then there are some that lack the ingenuity or talent to play a part in representing the player during difficult negotiations.

The backdrops say it all. Abattoir, boxing ring. Alpha entrepreneurs. Idealising Ari Gold.
One of them had 2 copies of the Wolf of Wall Street on his bookshelf.Quote:
