    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

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
