Andrew Demetriou Game Quotations

We are delighted with the financial result - this income will greatly assist the game to grow nationally at all levels. There was more to the agreement than just the dollar value, however, with market reach and exposure given equal weighting in the decision-making process.

The new broadcasting rights agreement will deliver the best financial and national programming package in the history of the game and provide an important contribution to the ongoing growth of our game.

We had to do it because of Commonwealth Games and spread the games out over a couple of days - we have a couple more throughout the year so we will see how they go.
