Hutchy is at it again. When will The Age leave us alone. The storey in yesterdays Age says we are going to make a loss. Can the club take action against this.

    It cant be true. The AFL gave us over a million dollars. I know its been a tough year but it cant be that bad.

    I just finished an Audit of a Victorian AFL Club who I am permitted to mention but will not. I reviewed the contract the AFL has with each club, each club gets a WHOLE lot of money from the AFL a lot more than just one million, you would be amazed to see how much.

    There is a possibility we would run at a loss, I reviewed a game that was played against Melbourne and next to no money is made from them. I wouldnt be too concerned if we run at a loss we arent the only ones & with the AFL rights well after seeing the figures we can breathe easy soon

    must've been interesting. out of interest the reason i believe the clubs get money from the afl is because they get all the profits. television rights, league sponsorships, tribunal fines, the list goes on. all this money goes into afl coffers. the afl spends what it has to on staff and the brand (advertising), etc etc and the rest goes back into the clubs. i believe it should be equal but im not sure about that...

    Was very interesting. No your right the clubs do get an equal distribution every month from the AFL of a bucketload of money. Clubs like Nort Melb & Melb also get special distributions for different things such as assistance & re-development of premises. The AFL also looks after the finances of Melb, North Melb & Bulldogs as they arent big enough to look after themselves. Teams such as Essendon who are raking in the money from other investments and their businesses look after their finances in house. What was also interesting was the bucketload of $$$ umpires get per game, if anyone is looking for a career change get on it I say.

    If you are not going to mention the name then why would you brag about being permitted to mention their name?

    FWIW, take out Essendon and Collingwood and every club would be borderline basketcase or a basketcase financially.

    For some clubs like Kangas, Dogs and MFC, the accounts only break even due to extra AFL funds.

    As part of its rich TV deal, the AFL must deliver 16 clubs playing 8 games a round. The Clubs share that largesse. TO provide some form of equilibrium, battling Clubs get extra funds.

    Its hardly ground breaking stating that we would make a loss.

    I would hardly call it bragging thankyou. I value my job & there would prob be questions to follow about their status etc if I mentioned which club which I am unable to answer.

    I believe everything you said I did already but thanks!

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • 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?
