Equalisation dominates as club chiefs chew the fat
Club CEOs meet in central Victoria to discuss the game's big issues
EQUALISATION has dominated day one of the AFL club CEO's two-day meeting at Creswick in central Victoria.
Meetings between the club chiefs and League executive, led by AFL deputy CEO Gillon McLachlan, finished at 5pm after a lengthy debate on measures that need to be taken to shrink the gap between rich and poor clubs.
AFL boss Andrew Demetriou, who returned from the US on Wednesday morning, did not attend the first day of the conference.
AFL.com.au also understands Essendon acting CEO Ray Gunston did not make the trip to Creswick, with the Bombers' ongoing supplements saga not on Wednesday's agenda.
