    My heart really does bleed for those big clubs missing out on millions of dollars, because it’s not like they get looked after at all.

    Why isn’t the fixture equal?

    It's not possible to make the fixture equal with the current length of the season.  It can only be equal if everyone plays each other twice, home and away.

    Would like to see what drives the revenues of the various clubs. Of course it's a combination but what are the big drivers?

    • Raw membership numbers
    • Reserved seat sales
    • Gate receipts from away team supporters
    • Coteries
    • Sale of home games ( Hawthorn, North MFC)
    • Merchandising

    Somewhat surprised if our subsidy did not go down in 2022 (did it) on the back of the 2021 success.

    Gold Coast and GWS are a continual basket case neither of which have shown financial improvement since their entry into the competition.

    Port Adelaide is an enigma especially when you compare them to Freo (Both second teams in a football mad city with similar populations)

    Where does all of this money come from? I know there’s TV rights , but what about other sources?

    True. but there are other blatant inequities such as why do we play in Geelong every year but other clubs haven't has to travel there in years

    That is such a tangential excuse. You can make the fixture fairer from the POV of exposure and to maximise gate for clubs, regardless of the number of games. 

    Why does Carlton get to play so many Friday night games? Why isn’t Essendon treated like Hawthorn when they are not much better than them (although I am loving the Hawks being treated like the minnows they are in their hearts).

    Anyway, the funding can’t be the same because the fixture is built for the broadcaster, not for clubs or for fairness.

    Do Jeelong need anymore funding?

    Like really!

    Includes prizemoney for winning the flag from memory plus the standard funding all club's get as part of their cut of the media rights/revenue (basically covers the TPP/salary cap from memory).

    Many reasons but the main ones being fixturing and stadium deals.

    Media rights is the main one, sponsorship, AFL membership distributions and other league revenues etc all contribute.

    Im aware of the funding each club receives Doc.

    I was just having a light hearted go at the Pussys as they have received so much government funding to transform Feral Park.

    I apologise for going a bit off topic, but has The AFL paid back the loan they took out during COVID?

    They had a loan facility. Not sure that they ever drew down against it. Their main concern was zero games in 2020 and therefore no TV or stadium revenue. The 2020 season was restarted and the crisis averted even though overall revenue was down

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
