NORTH MELBOURNE may still receive the money promised to them by the AFL, despite advising the league that they will not play games on the Gold Coast in 2009.
AFL chief executive Andrew Demetriou said today that despite refusing to play on the Gold Coast next year, the Kangaroos were still entitled to the $1.2 million promised as part of their deal to play three “home” games at Carrara.
“We don’t walk away from agreements,” he said.
“We’re very consistent, we’ve got a great record on that but the fact of the matter is that we’ve got on-going discussions with the North Melbourne Football Club.”
Demetriou said the AFL respected North Melbourne's decision to remain in Melbourne and said the league would do everything it could to support the Kangaroos.
“They’ve made it clear that they don’t want to play on the Gold Coast and we respect that, they’ve said clearly… that they want to play all their games in Melbourne, so we respect that and we’ll do what we can to accomodate that.”
