I know it's a silly question, but it seems like what Andrew wants, Andrew gets.

  1. umm almost. he calls the play. it annoyed me very much that he got away with critisizing the swans game in early 2005. oh well, look what then happened. premiers.


  2. NOT SILLY at all,and id say yes he thinks he is,as Ive said before he was a soft footballer and is a qualified lawyer (which says it all) and probably the worst trait he displays is arrogance and pig headiness-even when the supporters,coaches and players are against him he'll still push on with no regard for other opinions.

    the hands in the back rule is a perfect example of how inflexible he is -NO ONE WANTS IT ANDREW.

  3. He is the BOSS!!!!

    Let him take advantage I say.

    Maybe he's retiring and getting what he wants done before he goes.

    Who knows???

  4. no he is not bigger than the game, he knows that. why do people who don't agree with someone say things like this, if they had the money, the supporters, no one would be talking about them relocating, it's sad but it's a fact, i hope north stay forever but when all is said and done, they don't have enough supporters and members.

  5. I still think that Andrew has a master plan (it would be his first) to take over North Melbourne from James Brayshaw, Denis Pagan, Carl Dilena and Wayne Carey.

    He wants to take the team to Carrara (I think he still will get his way) and try to make money off all the ex-pat Vics that live there.

  6. Its not a silly question Big Kev.

    I'm sure you will get many answers all stating the same thing, and most if not all of the replies will agree with you.

    It's amazing how many times people in a position of authority make a decision, and regardless of the outcome, who it affects and the ramifications of it, once they make the decision thats it and it gets done no matter what.

    My guess is is simple, maybe the power of authority he holds as the AFL CEO has gone to his head.

  7. He's getting close, another couple of cakes and he'll be bigger, lol, honestly, every CEO footy has had has tried to put their own mark on the game, why should he be any different.

  8. Is he bigger than the game, short answer is NO.  

    Does he think he is?- that's debatable, its got to be an ego thing, so he might think he is, but in his defence, it'd be a tough job, you cannot please every one, he's probably trying his best, he just lacks that caring side, its like, "this is the way it has to be" etc.

    I'm sure he wont get every thing Kev, that he wants, i never want a night granny, ever. the whole build up and all should stay as it is, the only thing different i, personally would do is have the brownlow straight after the home and away series, then nearly all the players could come, they'd still have finals but it s not the big one, or after the grand final have it.

  9. football will last forever Andrew will not

  10. He was overheard saying at a resturant that 'the Kangas will go down in 6 months and they have played right into his hands'.

    Andrew needs to go..

  11. Yeah he is hun xoxo

  12. No silly question im sick of seeing his head, this guy is a media w***e and wannabe Eddie Maguire and football is going downhill under his reign , it seems to be morphing into Gaielic football and now the umpires are actually players as well why do we have to listen to them squawking like chickens and kissing players asses during a game? get lost Andrew Demetriou

  13. He is like Simon as in the game Simon says. lol.

  14. hes the boss

    so i think he is

  15. i reckon he is trying to control it too much. i guess power can be bad
