Telstra pays for all the hosting of the content as a trade off. Back in early 2000's this made sense for the AFL to cost cut, as the AFL was in debt. With the Billion dollar rights deals these days, it really is antiquated that the AFL haven't cut ties with being a Telstra vehicle in terms of web presence.
I think with AD's discussions about the AFL having it's own media arm/distribution division, will be when they unleash a proper website free of bullshit ads and the tie to Telstra. They may still banner promote their major sponsors but it won't be PPC ads.
