Is Brayshaw giving Kangaroo fans false hope?

December 3, 2007 | Filed Under AFL News

In what is shaping to be the biggest decision in the Kangaroos history the man who will be President if the Kangaroos stay was on holiday in Las Vegas?

In what could be an even worse situation for the Roos, they failed to inform the AFL of the incidents involving Grant, Edwards and MacIntosh. Under AFL policy clubs are supposed to inform them of any incidents like this involving a player from their club. In a time that the Roos can ill afford any of this controversy it will be interesting how the AFL handle that one.

$10 million over 2 Years?

Brayshaw has a proposal that will see $10 million over the next 2 years and would be invested as non football revenue. I can understand the Kangaroos decision in saying that they can’t vote for the move given that the AFL is yet to even give them a stadium to play at and such a decision would be irresponsible, but can he deliver on his proposals? It seems to be that he is full of passion for the club, which is great don’t get me wrong, but there is a big difference in being passionate and being realistic. He is going to have to pull a big cat out of the bag to get the club out of this one. The fact that he chose to go to Vegas with his mates from the Footy Show at this time just doesn’t sit right with me, and makes me question whether he is the best person to be leading this charge. Sure he has a big profile and lots of connections but is that enough to run an AFL Football Club? It is understood that the AFL is yet to see any documentation of the plans that would deliver what Brayshaw says they will.

Shinboner of the Century speaks his mind

The Shinboner of the Century Glenn Archer has even come out and said they are a 100-1 chance to stay in Melbourne. What is more disturbing is that he has said that Brayshaws commitment to the club would end as soon as the Kangaroos moved. I think there are a lot of people including myself who think that this is certainly not the attitude that you would want from a high profile club official.

The Kangaroo faithful have been filled with a lot of positive reinforcement about the clubs future, but it is something I don’t think the stay in Melbourne group can deliver.
