The league handed over $255 million of revenue generated by the game to clubs, with the Western Bulldogs allocated the third-highest sum — $17,610,181

One million of that figure included the prizemoney the Dogs were awarded when they won their fairytale premiership last year.

Despite the massive sum of money allocated, 11 of the AFL’s 18 clubs recorded an operating loss last year.

Giants are the AFL love child...

.... but we cant complain. Gil loves us...

[Enrico_Misso]

They have to compensate us for the crap stadium deal they forced us in to.

[dragit]

I wonder how much the total revenue figure was & also how much was spent on the women's league.

[Vazelos]

Is that stadium deal ever going to change for us now the AFL own the stadium?

[ausfatcat]

the worrying part is we used to be ahead of the bulldogs, Melbourne and north in terms of financials and now we are behind all of them.

[GSG]

Not too sure about Melbourne. I might be wrong, but as far as I can remember, they had massive help from the AFL over the past few years, since they seemed to have been mismanaged for quite some time and couldn’t lift themselves off the bottom. Didn’t the AFL pay for Paul Roos to coach them to get them back on track?

[Enrico_Misso]

What about the millions gifted to Geelong by the AFL and Geelong supporting state premiers to develop their boutique stadium?

and an even Salary cap
http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/m ... 12a50623c3

Those salary cap advantages included Brisbane Lions’ retention allowance during their 2001-2003 premiership years, Sydney’s cost of living allowance, and bigger salary caps for clubs entering the competition.

At one stage GWS had not only a cost of living allowance but an extra salary cap dispensation because of its bigger list size and retention issues.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
And the league now has a football department salary cap — $9.6 million last year.

McLachlan wrote in the AFL annual general report released last week that he was proud of such a significant achievement.

“For the first time in 2017, every club will have the same salary cap, which we believe will further enhance the competitive balance of our national competition,’’ he wrote.

Heard that too - but Gil seemed pretty quick to want to move on from it.

Maybe the figures included the money for Moorabbin??

[dragit]

The numbers are meaningless without some context…

Gold Coast & GWS have cost over $200,000,000 in the past 5 years, and still no-one cares about them.

The TV stations do and they have probably added money to other clubs.

[dragit]

I'm sure the ratings for games like GWS v Bris & GCS v Port Adelaide were through the roof.

Doesn't matter about the ratings on those games. The GWS WB final was one the biggest ratings prelims ever. Maybe the highest. And the TV stations paid the money so I would think they know what they are doing. Well more than us.

But it was in the Herald Scum! How can that be? We know that Fascist-in-Chief Rupert Murdoch, self appointed comptroller of political and other thought in the UK, the US and here, is infallible.

You are going to look very stupid in 5 years time when both GC and GWS have the same amount of members as St Kilda. And like a complete idiot in 10 when they have more than us. Bookmark it!!

Madeleine McCann agrees with this.
