There's no difference when come to buying or selling property. I am often asked by "friends" what I think of certain properties after they have signed the sale contracts. Unfortunately, many people just want an endorsement rather than an opinion or advice. For the humble ones, I can help them to save or sell for an extra $20,000 to $50,000.

A (rotten) tomato seller would have done fantastic business if he was allowed to set up a store outside the Entertainment Centre. Since Meatloaf was paid for the event, he should not deserve any credit even for his appearance. All the concert goers, as consumers, have the right to demand a refund for goods not delivered in the conditions expected within reason.

When goods are not delivered in a condition expected within reason, the consumer has the right to return the item or ask for a refund. If Australia wants to be in the world's league, then Australia should behave like a world leader and neither accept second grade "things" dumped to this country nor pay performers not up to scratch! Andrew Demetriou, don't defend; be a man to stand up for your country and speak the truth that the performance was NOT good enough for the $500000 cheque. Alternatively, demand the performer to give a free live-telecast concert as a form of apology!

Andrew Demetriou should hand in his resignation. If he can't distinguish between good and poor performance - even the public has delivered a verdict, how can he distinguish what's good or bad for AFL?
