also, worth mentioning in here that afl media are set to make significant cuts to their broadcast backend set-up...

AFL cuts media jobs and closes main studio in pivot to outsourcing

Major job cuts have hit the AFL’s media department as the league abandons some in-house production in favour of content creators and outsourcing.

he AFL has cut a number of jobs from its media arm and closed its main studio as it pivots to outsourcing to content creators.

An email sent to staff in the AFL’s media team on Wednesday made clear the league would decommission ‘Studio A’ at AFL House in Docklands, leading to redundancies among the production team.

Multiple sources told this masthead the most recent redundancies numbered at least 10 and several other staffers had left the media and commercial team since the men’s grand final in September, but the AFL would not confirm a number.

I don't think I see any issues with this. If it's not making them money and has no tangible benefit to clubs, then it's just another overhead we could all do without, along with the AFLs bloated corporate / executive management payroll.

Really actually wounder if the whole league management could do with a massive overhaul.

    Private ownership was a failure in the 80's but I'd be amazed if it's not looked at again

    It would be a disaster...the cricket one are banking on interest from the Indian market.

    It's still a big punt...

    AFL don't have access to that but they could be stupid enough to go down this path anyway.

    Let the NRL tread down that path to oblivion.

    It's hard to see how the AFL can squeeze much more money out of broadcasters and advertisers. The fixture has been compromised to within an inch of it's life with Mickey Mouse rounds that state governments can buy in their entirety and has teams that sell home games to cities on the other side of the country. Goalposts, footballs and even the grass has been plastered with adverts as have club guernseys. Analysts even dress as McDonalds baristas on the big screen at half time. They want more meaningful games but have no promotion and relegation, domestic or intercontinental knock out cup competitions or international tournaments.

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      Who would have imagined, when the season kicked off early last month, that Melbourne would emerge from the opening six weeks with wins over both Queensland powerhouses? At the time, Gold Coast and Brisbane were the competition’s early pace-setters, the flavours of the month, and the prospect of the Demons toppling both within the course of a fortnight seemed remote. Yet here they are, banking those scalps alongside home victories over two traditional Victorian rivals and building a quietly impressive resume.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      From the outset, the Casey Demons lacked any spring in their steps. They were out-hustled and out-bustled and finally outplayed by the Brisbane Lions by 38 points on their home turf in perfect conditions at Casey Fields.
