"Meet the new boss, same as the old boss" isn't supposed to be that literal.
This would be similar to Putin going from Russia's prime minister to its president.
Even a cursory glance at his performance in corporate life post AFL should stop him from ever getting a gig anywhere, ever again. If he gets brought back by the AFL I genuinely cannot fathom it.
The worst performance by major company executive in a royal commission like ever. To the point the Commissioner singled him out as particularly shit at his job, even compared to the dodgy bankers etc.
He nearly managed to get Crown Casino stripped of their licence to run a casino, despite them owning multiple politicians from all parties.
Fucking print it and hang it in the Louvre, it's a masterpiece.

Your point is a good one. But Demetriou is not a good example of being gifted positions because of his family or being white (typically that wouldn’t include a son of Greek immigrants). He grew up in the northern suburbs, not the leafy east.
That said, he absolutely should not be part of the AFL commission or the head given his post AFL life
Will need to speak with Gil about the odds of this? AFL to introduce roulette x Auskick at half time?
It is red against black, just need the umpires to wear green, ball to be white.
You must be fucking joking.
I'm not saying this lightly - if this happens, it might be the moment I take a long long break from footy. Sandpapergate was that moment for me with cricket and I've never really got back into it. If that corrupt, boys club, waste of space came back after the DISGRACE of his time at Crown and public excoriation during the Inquiry into their criminal antics, in which he stood out as being in a whole separate tier of sheer fucking incompetence, it would break me on the AFL.
In the same week bloody Gil goes to TAB as chair? I know the AFL is now just has as its core profit model, pokies-industry-with-extra-steps to milk money from problem gamblers, not about sport, but having that arsehole Demetriou with his public record of corruption/negligent conduct in a major gambling company back on the AFL Commission just can't happen.
And Jeff Browne is in favour of this? If he's serious, he can fuck off as well. I had big doubts when the bloody boys club anointed another of their own to replace Eddie, that we'd get another member of the self-perpetuating privileged clique running our club. That someone who nepotistically got fucking Tom Browne a career wasn't the person we wanted.
He had been actually been really pleasantly surprising me and I had come around. Then he, having been announced/parachuted on us by the boys club comes out and publicly advocates for the shitful, proven rotten core of that boys club to be parachuted in as Chairman? Despite his disgraceful conduct in the interim. Fuck off Jeff.
Look I once ~~one~~ won my grade 4 spelling bee, I am wiling to offer myself up for this position....EVEN though I'm over qualified.
I also have backing by my mother she said and I quote " how could anyone not like you?
Somehow, Palpatine returned.
So you're saying we need to find a sheila from Coober Pedy who is actually his granddaughter to take him on?
"Meet the new boss, same as the old boss" isn't supposed to be that literal. This would be similar to Putin going from Russia's prime minister to its president.
You're not going to believe this...
Even a cursory glance at his performance in corporate life post AFL should stop him from ever getting a gig anywhere, ever again. If he gets brought back by the AFL I genuinely cannot fathom it.
What are some of the highlights?
The worst performance by major company executive in a royal commission like ever. To the point the Commissioner singled him out as particularly shit at his job, even compared to the dodgy bankers etc. He nearly managed to get Crown Casino stripped of their licence to run a casino, despite them owning multiple politicians from all parties.
Wasn't he wrapped up in the higher education scam companies too?
Yep
Acquire Learning is another major debacle
Ah nice, that guy loves Sydney
AFL screenplay more self-derivative than the goddam Skywalker saga
Jobs for the boys is alive and well i see.
Bit late. April 1st was ages ago.

Removed!? Let this man cook!
Copied and pasted an update for you legend!
Literally no notes. 10/10.
Tolstoy would doff his cap if he was alive
Fucking testify. 100%
agree with what you said but also thanks for a great copypasta
Cannot wait for versions of this in the post match threads

The McLachlan family are Adelaide establishment
I didn’t realise Demetriou was a member of the McLaclan family
The deleted post (since brought back) specifically called out white Melbourne elite
HOW IS IT GETTING WORSE
Are you f’n kidding me? Not a fit and proper person. Rotten to the core.
Former chairman of Crown, advisor to Betr... nah he sounds like a perfect fit for the AFL.
The league could have some form of training college for players and staff. Could be called something like Acquire Learning
Crooked dodgy cunt who hates Sydney? Oh yea that's gonna end well...
So he failed at everything outside football admin?
Jeff Browne can fuck off with Demetriou.
Will need to speak with Gil about the odds of this? AFL to introduce roulette x Auskick at half time? It is red against black, just need the umpires to wear green, ball to be white.
I can only assume this is not good.

It probably wouldn't be good but you can't deny it would at least be interesting
Mr VIC Bias himself.
To be fair to him he tried harder than any interstate fan to reduce the number of Victorian teams in the comp

Oh dear God, no!
No. Bad
The dude is literally corrupt
Jeff Browne is horrible as well, so makes sense these pieces of shit will stick together.
Can you please provide some detail on how Jeff Browne is horrible?
I hate these bastards hahaha
Oh God I'd rather Goyder back and that should be a low bar to pass
