Demetriou Confident Of No Brownlow Protest | Thebigtip

AFL boss Andrew Demetriou is confident there won't be any industrial action at Monday's Brownlow Medal count, despite a pay deal yet to be struck with players.

The players rejected the AFL's $1.144 billion pay offer over five years last Thursday, saying they want a three-year agreement, which would provide more flexibility.

Demetriou said today there had been no further meetings or dialogue with the players' union since last week.

The players' union chief executive Matt Finnis has not ruled out industrial action, though he has admitted it would be highly unlikely.
