Both Crows and Port now own their own Liscence. Both Clubs paid Millions to take back ownership from the SANFL. This one off huge cost would be factored into any financials for the past year. Both Clu

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.

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.

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.

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.

$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.

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

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
