Media identity Eddie McGuire has called on the Australian Football League to address what he describes as a “murky” intersection between award-voting roles and gambling companies. McGuire’s demand is that people with official voting responsibilities in the AFL — such as those who help determine best-and-fairest awards — should not simultaneously hold positions with betting firms. The issue spotlights the growing entanglement of professional sport and the gambling industry in Australia, a relationship that has drawn increasing scrutiny from regulators and the public alike.
