I missed the discussion on the academies but caught the end when Eddie was asked if he was in charge of the swans would he have done anything to get Buddy. He said he would want Buddy and COLA and the academies. He said that we didn't break any rules getting Buddy but that we used the rules to our advantage. To me that makes it sound like we were underhanded. And isn't that the same comments that his puppet Gordon said about us last year??
I liked how Eddie thought the big challenge of the AFL was for Essendon and Carlton to become power houses again and that Victoria was important for the tv rights, whereas Kochie was adamant that the success of NSW and Qld was more important. It was an unbiased view compared to Eddie's Victorian centric world.
