Every year our Board members and captains get together with some of the most influential names in the AFL media ranks for an informal catch-up to discuss issues facing the industry in an “off the record” style event.
The event is held prior to the start of the season and gives us a chance to catch up away from the footy field before the first bounce in round 1.
In 2011, the BBQ was held on the Triple M Rooftop in Melbourne.
