Players must now do 20 min media interviews post-game (9news)
« on: January 19, 2024, 12:41:44 AM »
Clubs have been told every non-injured player must be available to be interviewed for 20 minutes after every game, + there will be more access to senior coaches than ever before in 2024.

The AFL is pushing this strongly.

Tony Jones of course brings up Dusty  ::).

Players agreed to this when they signed up for the new CBA, so they can't exactly sook now.

They get fined I believe

Think a few will be saying they're injured straight after the game  :rollin

20 minutes is a long interview, what are they to talk about?

I read it as the players have to be available for 20minutes after a game, for an interview. Whether they get interviewed or not, just have to remain available for that period

"In unforeseen scenes 23 Richmond players were all required to do concussion tests immediately after the match ... "
"All 23 players consequently passed the concussion tests & under AFL guidelines are cleared to play next week ... "
When approached for a comment Richmond coach Adem Yze said, "Sorry fella's but I've got a bit of a headache & need to do a concussion test ... it is a physical game you know .. bye ... "
Richmond CEO Brendon Gale waved the media away motioning towards an ice pack he had just removed from Football Manager Neil Balme's head. 
Eventually the Richmond Boot Studder offered up a comment when he mumbled, "****ed if I know?" ...

Dusty might be our Marshawn Lynch

Some of Marshawn’s interviews are hilarious 😆

Marshawn and his “yeah” interviews were an “up yours” to the NFL and their mandatory interview policies long before Darius was trying it on
