It was reported SA made 6 times that in revenue to what was paid to the AFL which for state like mine is actually a pretty good outcome.

come on now...we've had thirty odd years of grand prix accounting in   Victoria

you were robbed !!!

The real question is can you make it pay next year

The problem with State numbers are numerous but in the first instance they count expenditure by people living in Adelaide.

Next they count the number of time Adelaide was mentioned on TV and radio = mega bucks

It goes on

    The concept is an excellent one that just needs some fine tuning as to who plays who, where the games are played and the time slots

    So both Norwood Oval & Glenelg Oval have lights and Mt Barker & the Barossa could be used for the early low-drawing games on the weekend so as to ensure all the games are stand alone

    Days & Times could work as follows

    Thursday 7.30pm Adelaide Oval (Ch7) Crows/Blues

    Friday 4.30pm Glenelg (under lights) Giants/Hawks

    Friday 7.30pm Adelaide Oval (Ch7) Demons/Bombers

    Saturday 1.00pm Mt Barker Freo/GCS

    Saturday 4.30pm Norwood (under lights) Cats/Eagles

    Saturday 7.30pm Adelaide Oval (Ch7) Port/Doggies

    Sunday 12.30pm Barossa Lions/North

    Sunday 3.20pm (Adelaide Oval) (Ch7) Pies/Saints

    Sunday 6.30pm (Norwood or Glenelg) (under lights) (Ch7) Tigers/Swans

    So 5 free-to-air games but I don't see why all the games can't be on FTA & cable/streaming.  Just a one-off for the extra weekend

    So no double headers but they'll have no trouble selling all the tickets anyway if promoted and marketed well

    It's either been changed or you are way off the mark!  It's extension correctly in both places. 

    It clearly has been amended to the correct word.

    $80M for three more years

    Desperado

    https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/afl-reaps-80m-from-gather-round-deal-20230419-p5d1rw.html

    The AFL will reap a major windfall from the Gather Round deal with South Australia, receiving close to $80 million in cash and non-capital investment from the SA government for the next three years.

    And, as sources familiar with the deal confirmed, the AFL will benefit even further if infrastructure and longer-term spending on facilities and community footy are counted in the deal announced on Sunday by Premier Peter Malinauskas and AFL chief executive Gillon McLachlan

    Hope he got an exclusivity clause because knowing the AFL they might sell the same real estate several times

    Can't see them making money if groups drive over and back in car pools

    Those Pies fans probably sleep nine to ten in their panel van halens too.

    Each to their own but I just don’t see much benefit in this concept for 85%+ of the footy-supporting public…

    Appears to make a lot of commercial sense to the AFL/state of SA (and for that reason it will stay) but seeing my team play another side from Melbourne in a different state, in the middle of the season and in front of a bit-of-a-nothing crowd just made zero sense to me.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
