people will believe it and not look were the real corruption err, I mean charity lies.
Nailed it !
But here's the thing, we are all seagulls on a beach waiting for a human to throw a chip our way.
My only regret in life was to wake up late on how to get your sticky fingers in the cooky jar.
My advice to all new parents is to educate your young early on the location of the cooky jar.
And just because it's corrupt money doesn't mean it's a bad thing, as I say I have had a bit to do with AFL Cape York House and it does good things whilst at the same time serving the interests of the AFL and its "partners".
My final word is this...even Pablo Escabar did good things whilst serving his self interest.
I was once part of a team that sent two local boys from rural football to Brisbane at 15, it killed my team and cost us the best juniors the club ever had. It was the culmination of ten years of junior development in the AFL area development officer program.
We got a s*** wage for an explayer and a 16 year old trainee, all the footy merchandise we could handle and fantastic travel and lifestyle perks.
One made it for a while at Carlton they other got injuries.
The boys were paid rookie wages when they were recruited, which were less than a produce manager at Coles earned, as one of the parents lamented afterbthe kid left his school, his coomunityand his job stacking fruit.
The club got a new ground and the AFL put in $14k for some lights because the local council wanted to hold cattle and farmers in their $100k fifth wheelers on the oval during beef week and the Ag Show.
3 flags later, those jobs disappeared and the hired real administrators to run the local comps. I ran independent free training camps, funded by grants and sponsorship.
I should have charged. Lol
