Richard Goyder’s $10m luxury Melbourne roots

The residence was listed for sale at a whopping $9.5 million, indicating that Goyds shell out approximately $1 million more than the minimum price set. Ouch... but truth be told, when you're aiming for a speedy deal on a property boasting a six-car garage (!) located smack dab in the center of Melbourne, what's an extra million to Goyds?

The magnificent Agushi mansion located in South Yarra.

It's a pleasant contrast to the Goyders' situation, as they own a luxurious five-bedroom house in the exclusive Mosman Park neighborhood of Perth.

Establishing a strong presence in South Yarra implies that Goyds is committed to staying there for a considerable amount of time and has no plans to permanently move back to the western region. While it is true that the couple has grown-up offspring residing in Melbourne, the recently acquired Agushi residence is conveniently situated just an 18-minute car ride away from AFL House.

In the world of Australian Rules Football (AFL), club presidents have been privately discussing how much longer they will have to tolerate Goyds. The ridiculous hunt for a new leader to replace Gil McLachlan has tarnished the league's reputation.

During the chaos, the leaders of clubs were swift to highlight that Goyds was failing in his duty to select new commissioners for the board overseeing the sport. This occurred in April. However, it is now September, and there are still two substantial vacancies for commissioners.

AFL icon Leigh Matthews became extremely frustrated last month and withdrew from the procedure. Former players Andrew Ireland and Matthew Pavlich have been involved since April. Currently, the AFL is once more facing delays in a prolonged procedure led by its powerful chairman.

The previous Thursday, leaders of various clubs arranged an urgent gathering to address the severe issue of concussions in the game. It was brought to our attention that the AFL administration's apparent lack of connection with its stakeholders was brought up numerous times. Interestingly, the clubs decided to exclude representatives from the AFL from attending the meeting.

At present, AFL club leaders and individuals who possess shares in Qantas must experience a disengaged connection. It's as if they share a non-existent limb. Whenever they come across news regarding the lack of action following mismanagement at either Qantas or the AFL, a slight involuntary movement shoots up their limb.

Next comes the complete Breaking Bad outcry: "He cannot continue escaping the consequences!"
