What they did in the last few days is they setup a bit of a working party. I think they\u2019ll meet again, there might be other people on that working party made up of clubs, CEOs, and media bosses to come to HQ in Melbourne and talk about how they can better improve the TV product.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne big concern is that people are turning off at halftime, particularly on Channel 7.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe CEOs, according to some of the media bosses who were at that meeting, were the ones who are not prepared to stand up to coaches who won\u2019t allow their captains or their other stars or the coaches themselves to be interviewed before the game.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIan Shuttleworth from the Adelaide Crows was there and I\u2019m told he spoke with some great hope about Matthew Nicks. He feels a new coach might see the Crows open themselves up a bit more to the broadcasters. Not so the boss of the Hawthorn Football Club Justin Reeves who said that Alastair Clarkson will not deviate.
