Port Adelaide $2 Mill in debt from this years venture. The Crows just broke even.

This competition will die if greedy bastards keep pushing for their own gains.

Was this Vlad's last legacy or Gill's first?

Astounding to say the least a kick away from the GF, 50+ members and full houses at games!

They are saying the result of a poor deal at Adelaide oval!!!

This was meant to be the saviour of the Power.

What gives?

Yes the same was said for The Docklands. What a total joke.

Bring back the Home Grounds otherwise there will be no clubs.

Port Adelaide 55,000 members. Sold out Games

$2 Mill in the red.

Who held a gun to their head to sign up to that rubbish??

What's he supposed to do? You can only play at AFL approved venues. Presumably there is only of those in South Australia.

As much as we'd like to believe that the clubs control their own destiny, ultimately the clubs play where the AFL tells them to. Once again the clubs (and by extension the fans) get screwed over by the AFL and its cronies.

Kochie negotiated the new stadium deal, incredible that they can be in this position after everything we learned from The Docklands debacle

Are we talking in Debt or Financial year losses? Every club would have a debt of some sort, 2mil for an organisation that size isn't a massive debt but if you are talking about 2mil loss from last financial year after the numbers they had is a worry

Don't want him. The Toump will suffice.

This one is all Koshie's.

Port Adelaide did not want to sign up to the stadium agreement but we're forced to by Vlad. They only agreed to a 1 year deal (with a gun to their head) as they knew they were being screwed and knew the deal would have to be renegotiated.

That seems an extraordinary amount Moon! That would just about require AFL administration.

It was $10 mill mid year. Expected to be $12 mill by year's end.

I thought the SANFL had a large (and conflicted) hand to play in signing this deal, before the AFL managed to negotiate ownership of the Port & Crows licenses, no?

I think there are a few clever and devious men making a lot of money off this deal.

Not unlike what goes on here in Victoria, mind you.

a very poor gate sharing situation for the crows and port currently Old.

Yeah, it's way worse than you think it is, wyl.

One equalisation measure is that gate receipts from all clubs go in a pool to be shared equally.

Just putting that out there.

Doesn't solve the issue, bug it would affect more than one club, and all the clubs would reap. The benefits of the AFLs obsession with crowd numbers.

$2mil in debt is SFA. I'm $500k in debt all on my own, but my life is pretty comfortable. WYL showing he doesn't understand the difference between debt and an operating loss, and not for the first frustrating time.

If "in debt" means operating with an ongoing debt, then it all depends if the debt is manageable. Anyone with a mortgage is "in debt", but the debt is (hopefully) decreasing over a 20 - 30 year period: it is manageable debt. It doesn't sound too bad to me.

However, if the Crows and Power have walked open-faced into a poor financial deal with the new stadium, there should be hell to pay from their fans and from the AFL.

With 55,000 members and a full stadium each home game i think it is extremely worrying that a club makes a $2 Mill loss.

That was the whole reason for leaving AAMI

Operating loss indeed.

I agree. It's especially worrying when you don't have facts at hand to determine why the operating loss and you have to make things up. Edited by Qwerty30

    TRAINING: Monday 20th January 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator attended training out at Casey Fields to bring you the following observations from Preseason Training. GATOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS There were 5 in the main rehab group, namely Gawn, Petracca, Fullarton, Woewodin and Lever.  Laurie was running laps by himself, as was Jefferson.  Chandler, as has been reported, had his arm in a sling.  Lindsay did a bit of lap running later on. Some of the ''rehab 5'' participated in non contact drills and b

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
