Discussion on recent allegations about the use of illicit drugs in football is forbidden
  • IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING

    Posting unsubstantiated rumours on this website is strictly forbidden.

    Demonland has made the difficult decision to not permit this platform to be used to discuss & debate the off-field issues relating to the Melbourne Football Club including matters currently being litigated between the Club & former Board members, board elections, the issue of illicit drugs in footy, the culture at the club & the personal issues & allegations against some of our players & officials ...

    We do not take these issues & this decision lightly & of course we believe that these serious matters affecting the club we love & are so passionate about are worthy of discussion & debate & I wish we could provide a place where these matters can be discussed in a civil & respectful manner.

    However these discussions unfortunately invariably devolve into areas that may be defamatory, libelous, spread unsubstantiated rumours & can effect the mental health of those involved. Even discussion & debate of known facts or media reports can lead to finger pointing, blame & personal attacks.

    The repercussion is that these discussions can open this website, it’s owners & it’s users to legal action & may result in this website being forced to shutdown.

    Our moderating team are all volunteers & cannot moderate the forum 24/7 & as a consequence problematic content that contravenes our rules & standards may go unnoticed for some time before it can be removed.

    We reserve the right to delete posts that offend against our above policy & indeed, to ban posters who are repeat offenders or who breach our code of conduct.

    WE HAVE BUILT A FANTASTIC ONLINE COMMUNITY AT DEMONLAND OVER THE PAST 23 YEARS & WE WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO DISCUSS THE CLUB WE LOVE & ARE SO PASSIONATE ABOUT.

    Thank you for your continued support & understanding. Go Dees.

An article in The Age today gives a summary of the gross income and debt position of all the Victorian clubs.

Hawthorn top the charts with just over $70 million and the poor old Saints the bottom at around $32 million.  We sit at about $44 million and have made a modest profit and we have a debt of about $5 million.  The profit and debt positions can be a little misleading because not shown are the assets of the club (Bentleigh more than offsets our debt) and of course profits can be fudged at year end and can include such things as depreciation and write off of assets which can distort the true position of a club.

But in essence the Hawks have more than twice the income of the Saints and you just wonder where all the money goes.  Once you've adjusted for profits and interest on debt there is a profound difference.  I just wonder where all the money goes.  FD spending?  Admin?  I don't know.  Pokies and the staff to run the facilities?

Does anyone know?  On face value the AFL desperately needs to even up the have and the have nots or we will fast become like the EPL.  I'm glad to see Newbold go, he struck me as an arrogant [censored] who peached equality and then did everything in his power to frustrate AFL attempts to introduce it.

Edit: And the other thing is our profit is marginal at best.  A couple of hundred thousand dollars in $44.5 million is break even at best.  Fine judgement that, but it makes you wonder about the window dressing that may go on.  Not that this administration would be the only ones to dress the result, it's been done for years.  Even with Hawthorns income they still manage to make a profit of about 5% on turnover.

Hawthorn bought the Australian Paper Mills didn't they?

Premiership celebrations and drink drive education.... Court costs are similar between Hawks and Saints.

It seems the numbers are very 'rubbery'!!!  Some just don't make sense eg MFC profit of $.562m on Rev of $44.5 while CFC figures are $.850 on $66.2m.  Carlton $2.7 loss on $54.1m.  As the core costs of running a football club are the same eg Sal cap, # of coaches/support staff etc you have to wonder what creative accounting the 'power' clubs are doing to make such small profits/big losses.  

I'm not even sure the AFL has mandated accounting policies, practices and formats...at least none that are apparent whenever I have looked at comparing financial reports from clubs' annual reports.  It would help if we could compare 'apples with apples'.  But I fear the AFL is quite happy to have a certain opaqueness in club financials - it enables them to use their financial discretion without other clubs/club supporters saying:  'what about me'?! 

That is just another ?mark on how the AFL operate.

I remember around 5yrs ago WCE and Coll were spending $300k a week more than Melbourne on their football depts. Just over $15m a year. High altitude chambers, recovery rooms, trips to Arizona , more doctors, more physios, better gyms, etc etc etc

Pretty easy to rack up a lot more spending. Plus some of them divert money to other property plays, pubs, pokie venues etc

Her are some simple numbers for a couple of clubs:

Melbourne

Revenue 44M

Football expenses $22M

Sponsorship, membership, Fundraising, marketing $8.6M

Admin $3M

Other $3M

Profit 0.5M

Hawthorn:

Revenue $71M.  

Employee and Staff $32M. 

Sponsorship, marketing and membership expenses $13M

Other? 10M

Profit $5M

 

Collingwood

Revenue $66M

Football expenses $22M

Sponsorship, membership, matchday and commercial expenses 18M

Gaming expenses and functions 12M

Other? 8M

Profit 0.8M

Carlton

Revenue $54M

Football department $22M

Marketing, membership, venue expenses $26M

Wages and Salaries $24M

Loss 2.7M

 

 

Football expenses seem to be much the same ( which is what you would expect with salary cap)

The expenses in "other staff" "wages and salaries" & "admin" is the big ticket item.  There is certainly a relationship between membership size and the number of staff you need to service them.

Most of the clubs spend about 20mil on footy department spending, with 'the gap' not really that big in the scheme of things now there's the cap. https://au.sports.yahoo.com/afl/a/27913568/afl-football-department-spending-figures-revealed/

I'd suggest Melbourne run the non football department staff pretty miserly. Other clubs are investing a lot more in their websites and social media presence. The bigger clubs no doubt spend more on advertising as well. 

Our challenge is definitely to try and grow revenue behind footy success over the next few years, starting with getting 10k more members. If we do that we will be able to keep touch with the big boys.

Apparently half the afl staff were in san Francisco today watching some superb owl.

Not sure what owls have to do with footy but its a fair junket considering youve only gotta go down the Peninsula to see some owls

As long as they can knock up a power point presentation on the insights learned from the NFL they can wholly justify their business class juncket....

Just on the Newbold comment, the AFL can do whatever they like can't they? The AFL runs the show, they choose not to push equalisation harder.

What else would you like to see in terms of equalisation? No doubt the draw is always a hot topic but in fairness the we only have ourselves to blame. The networks pay for the rights and they want blockbuster games in prime time slots. If we can play big game football for a consistent period we will get rewarded, regardless of who plays on a Friday night I'm normally watching because there's a fair chance the game will be entertaining. 

I also thought each year the AFL released how much funding each club received for that year. Whilst every club was allocated the base rate, we along with the Doggies/Saints etc got extra.

Today's announcement of a new sponsor is a sign we're heading in the right direction and that we can't just rely on handouts.

If they're in any way sensible then profits are invested to generate greater future profits.  Ultimately you want the club to be able to survive a slump in membership and still maintain their levels of spending on football.  The big clubs have other income streams which keep them profitable regardless of their on-field performance.  We need to be get into that league.

It isnt so much about when you play, it is about who you have home games against. The small Melbourne clubs generally only get home games against each other and interstate sides while the big ckubs get home games against each other far more. This makes it far easier for them to make money. Add to that the high profile TV slots and lufe all of a sudden gets a lot easier. 

I say split the gate on every game 50/50 and things instantly get a lot fairer

6 Friday night games and 2 Saturday night games smashes the "you have to perform to get good TV slots" theory. On 2014's form they deserved nothing.

Still doesn't help if you play GWS at the G and then in Sydney. Half of both of those games is very little. That theory works with EFC, Hawks, Carlton, Coll, Geel, Rich.

And when you play WCE that fill the ground with 90% members, the revenue available to be split diminishes considerably.

The real crux is to get the 18 teams playing each other once and then devise a system so there are 5 more rounds and then finals. That way there are the same number of games for TV. 

Maybe you split the comp after 18 games into 3 segments to decide finals playoffs and draft order at the bottom to keep interest ...

The AFL and TV won't countenance a reduction in total number of games

It's all about the Revenue.

You have to speculate to accumulate.

Hawthorn $13M and Collingwood $18M spend more wining and dining the sponsors than Melbourne $8.6M

They are in the Finals and that's the rewards the sponsors want. Which means that is the Bottom line the club gets.

We use the word 'traditional' pretty loosely these days, don't we? I guess if we keep saying it long enough people will start to believe it.

Carlton fans will realise how bad they actually are and the Tiges will again get an inflated opinion of where they sit.

For the rest of us we will get a false start to the season...

    DEPTH CHARGE by Whispering Jack

    The jubilation on the coach’s face as he danced a celebratory jig by the playing bench after the final siren sounded to record his team’s four-point victory over the Demons when the teams last met, said it all.    On that rainy Friday night at the Adelaide Oval, Ken Hinkley’s young midfield secured much more than four points on offer. The victory over one of the big dogs of the competition after a succession of wins over some of its lesser lights gave his team respect and validation fo

    HIBERNATING by KC from Casey

    When they locked up the rooms for summer at the end of last year’s football season, the rooms gathered cobwebs, the atmosphere became dense and the place developed a sleepy feel. They opened up the rooms to let Casey out to play on Sunday but the team was still hibernating and they missed the bulk of the opening quarter. By the time they worked out it was game on, their opponents from Box Hill had accumulated five goals and, if the game wasn’t over, it might as well have been. For a se

    A FORK IN THE HAWK by George on the Outer

    For too long in the past, Demon fans became habitually sick and tired of watching the Hawks hand out thrashings to their side. But Melbourne’s empahtic 55-point win at the MCG on Saturday has truly put a fork in the Hawk and turned that history well and truly on its head. The Demons have now won nine of their last ten encounters with the other result, a draw.     And like a fork, it was the multi-pronged options that Melbourne had all across the ground.  It certainly helped that Hawthorn
