Football Australia should have been listening to the fans earlier especially since we're the ones ultimately holding them to account and many of the decisions they make directly affect us in some way.

Yeah he seems a man of good will or at least good at coming across that way. There are probably a lot of people which have good will in football governance but at the moment the governance structure doesn't incentivise putting fans and participants first. So I'm skeptical we will see that happen without reform even if people are well intended

Am I too cynical?

no that statement concerns me too (indicates bankrolling a league might be a priority)

Kuegler also mentioned having less priorities

 

[grazorblade]

mentioned not relying on major tournaments to have growth but better systems to take advantage of growth but no specifics of how

mentioned aligning the football calender and making regulations consistent across states

 

[grazorblade]

just completely dodged the question about apl debt...

 

[grazorblade]

pretty good questions so far. Anter combatitive in reply, mostly politician waffle but one concrete claim is he said $0 debt was written off

reading the financials, I don't see how Anter can possibly be telling the truth here unless it is true on a technicality (she didn't use the exact correct accounting words)

Why am I just waiting for him to say, "No Mr. Bond, I expect you to die!"

 

[Quicky]

it frustrates the life out of me that we have no idea what 110mil in staff in admin costs actually goes towards

We're going to see 20% staff cuts.
