    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: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
