This is absolute crap, why do Brisbane need any more money? they aren't struggling like us.

What does this even mean? Do you think that money is tied to ladder position? We required money for payouts of staff, the Lions need it because the Broncos own that town and when they are not winning every game, they struggle to make money.

Also port are getting 3 million extra every year over three years which started last year, so that's 9 million over three years, have heard not one of criticism of them, now that's a hell of a lot of money,without that money they would not had money to pay there 9 million debt

Source please.

Just source please...

Who the heel makes a claim like that off without the article that goes along with it?

Fair call i'm in.

It would surely suggest no boardroom member ever quits again. Far more beneficial to start a blue, wait for the AFL kicker and then walk away. Simples

Don't ever write 'simples' again.

Although it's 12 months out of date, page 122 of the AFL Annual report gives a breakdown of what the clubs get IN TOTAL.

Make of it what you will, but the difference between a top club and a bottom club is very little.

The travesty is that while we got a lousy 100K more than Collinwood in 2012, it was the other advantages given to them through fixturing, TV allocation etc, that enable them to promote and sell their brand.

The AFL makes much of "sharing out the pie", with lifelines thrown to us, Port, Footscray etc, but this only makes up for the damage that their other actions cause.

Excellent post and people should read it then click the link and go to Page 122 where it will state that all clubs receive between $9-12m from the AFL.

AFL House runs the game, the clubs just play it.

    Pretty sure it's correct, I remember reading about it this time last year when Port were in all sorts of [censored]. Part of the AFL's manouvering to get back the SA licenses.

    It's true, they're getting a fair bit of extra funding. Some of which probably doesn't appear in the AFL's club funding as it was loaned to the SANFL who then used it to give to Port and the Crows.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
