AFL Funding

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Although it's 12 months out of date, page 122 of the AFL Annual report gives a breakdown of what the clubs get IN TOTAL.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

Agree.

Cause they are now WINNING

Winning solves most problems.

 

Don't bring these friends, though. Will just start another tanking investigation.

Dam you are right!

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.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
