An insane rule. They should comply with a caveat that as soon as the government changes the stupid rule, the constitution reverts back.

It’s no wonder nothing gets done too many mouths to feed.Who Really Runs Football in Australia? — Victoria Morton Football
A 101 Guide to the Congress System When people talk about decisions in Australian football, they usually talk about the Board of Football Australia. But the Board is not where power begins. The Board is elected. And the body that elects it, and votes on major decisions affecting the game, is ca
Great summary of our congress system. Hopefully she does a summary of the one below
I'd much rather a more democratic approach than we have. A "commercial approach" means even more autocratic governance than we have now.
I think it means things get done. I think one of the reasons Johnson quit was because of the barriers to reform that he wanted.
I've got a great idea - Capital Football can run it for us! They're already in the capital! Maybe they can get some government funding talk happening with the pollies!
dictators often claim that if they have less accountability they can get more done but as messy as democracy is it tends to outperform autocracies
“No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed, it has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.”
I don’t think you could possibly call Johnson a dictator, for me he was someone who saw what needed to be done to get football on an even keel but was frustrated by the ‘so called’ democratic system. He managed to get some things done to put Australian football on a commercial footing but, sadly, couldn’t get the A Leagues.back under the FA umbrella which would have started to solve many of the problems plaguing football. As he said in a recent interview with Simon Hill one of the regrets he has is the fact that FA had regularity control but not commercial control of the A Leagues.. That shows to me that he had ideas on how to get professional football out of the mess it’s in. I would defy anyone to suggest that he wasn’t the best administrator we’ve had probably ever.
I'm not calling JJ a dictator, just saying a dictatorship is a bad idea
Do we need all of that to run the professional leagues? What I am trying to say is that JJ had many ideas for running football on a much more commercial level, let’s face it the A Leagues are going nowhere at the moment.
I don't think Australian football = professional leagues though, there are 3000 clubs, national teams, millions of participants. How much priority the professional leagues should get and how much independence I think is best decided democratically rather than by you or me or JJ
Democracy within the sport sure but when you are trying to run a professional business such as the A League then too many cooks spoil the broth.
Well that would be an argument for reform of how the apl runs. Not sure what the best model would be
